"We find five Sorts of Men; the White Men, which are Europeans, that have Beards; and a sort of White Men in America (as I am told) that only differ from us in having no Beards. The third sort are the Malatoes, which have their Skins almost of a Copper Colour, small Eyes, and strait black Hair. The fourth Kind are the Blacks, which have strait black Hair: And the fifth are the Blacks of Guiney, whose Hair is curl'd, like the Wool of a Sheep, which Difference is enough to shew us their Distinctions; for, as to their Knowledge, I suppose there would not be any great Difference, it is was possible they could be all born of the same Parents, and have the same Education, they would vary no more in Understanding than Children of the same House."
