Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Indian Civilization: A Lecture by Stanley Pumphrey of England, With Introduction by John G. Whittier
The present condition and future prospects of the remnants of the aboriginal inhabitants of this continent, can scarcely be a mat ter of indifference to any class of the people of the United States. Apart from all considerations of justice and duty, a purely selfish regard to our own well-being would compel attention to the subject. The irreversible laws of God's moral government, and the well attested maxims of political and social economy, leave us in no doubt that the suffering, neglect and wrong Of one part Of the com munity, must affect all others. A common responsibility rests upon each and all to relieve suffering, enlighten ignorance, and redress wrong, and the penalty of neglect in this respect no nation has ever escaped.
