"It is worthy of remark too, that it is only among the White races that any correct notions of religion, or rational views of a superintending Providence can be found. While the darker varieties have, from time immemorial, been immersed in the lowest and most disgusting species of idolatry, or have been totally ignorant of the existence of a God, and of a future state of rewards and punishments—the Caucasian race has either possessed a perfect form of religion, as Judaism [the Israelite religion] and Christianity—or where they have been Pagans and ignorant of the Bible...have been more rational and more nearly allied to the truth.

The Grecian and Roman mythology...when compared with the senseless and often disgusting jargon of the Hottentot and Ethiopian, strikes us as the production of a higher and more cultivated intellect."

— Harvey Lindsley, M.D., "Differences in the Intellectual Character of the Several Varieties of the Human Race", Southern Literary Messenger Vol. 5 Is. 9 (1839)
