Excerpt from Suggestions as to the Spiritual Philosophy of African Slavery African. He says that the African is of the celestial type. Grossly sen sual and barbarian as he evidently is in his outward nature, the remains which lie imbedded in his spiritual structure are of the celestial order. He is organically connected with the highest heaven and the deepest hell, as no other man or race of men upon this earth ever has been or can be. Proofs of his innate celestial genius are apparent in his ineradicable childishness, his light-heartedness, simplicity, credulity, and timidity, in his passion for music and dancing, in his forgiving temper, and in that beautiful willingness to serve, which psychologically distinguishes him from almost all other races.
