The present population of the globe is believed to be about fifteen hundred millions, of which seven hundred millions are nominally progressive and eight hundred millions are stagnant under the law of custom. It is difficult to choose terms that even approach scientific accuracy in these generalizations, for, as Mr. H.G. Wells has remarked, if we use the word civilized the London Hooligan and the Bowery tough immediately occur to us; if the terms stagnant or progressive, how are the Parsee gentleman and the Sussex farm labourer to be classed? Nor can the terms white and coloured be used, for there are Chinese many shades whiter than the Portuguese.
