But you behold, also, other portions of this surface; some cast into dim penumbra] shad ows, through which pass a few struggling rays from the great sun of civilization others lying in deep eclipse, where nothing of that sun is seen but the field of darkness in which his whole disk is immersed; and others again buried in black midnight, where neither clouded sun, nor dusky moon, nor dimmed star is dis cerned, but all is dead, leaden, unmoving blackness. In most of these regions, mind slumbers the social state is formless, or con founded ia min; and some of the richest, most fertile realms of earth do little more with their boundless resources than minister to the bare necessities of degraded, indolent, mere animal man.
