    ' Mankind, methinks, is comprehended in a few Faces, if we exclude all Visages, which any way participate of Symmetries and Schemes of Look common unto other Animals. For as though Man were the extract of the World, in whom all were in coagulato, which in their forms were in soluto and at Extension ; we often observe that Men do most act those Creatures, whose con¬ stitution, parts and complexion do most predominate in their mixtures. Thus we may make England the whole Earth, dividing it not only into Europe, Asia, Africa, but the particular Regions thereof, and may in some latitude affirm, that there are Mgyptians, Scythians, Indians among us ; who though born in England, yet carry the Faces and Air of those Countries, and are also agreeable and correspondent unto their Natures/ SIR THOMAS BROWNE [3]
