Excerpt from Racial Contrasts: Distinguishing Traits of the Graeco-Latins and Teutons Our aim will now be twofold. In the first place we shall endeavour to trace fundamental distinctions between the arts of the races, distinctions which in a general way are valid for all times and nationalities. Then, having deduced from these the statement of an essential difference in mental nature between the peoples in question, we shall endeavour to trace this again in their intellectual and emotional characteristics, their customs and institutions.
