The American Church Monthly ed. by Henry Hudson January 1858; Pre-Darwin Ethnographic Theory The American Church Monthly, for January 1858; Edited by the Reverend Henry Norman Hudson with regular and independent contributions from Hugh Davey Evans; Reverend J.H. Hobart Brown, Proprietor. Published by William N. Dunnell at 195 Broadway, New York. 80 pages with a blue paper wrapper. Condition is fair to good with light foxing and some damage to bottom of back cover. Cover is detached. Normally I would not list such a prosaic publication by itself but it does contain an unattributed 16 page article (racist by any standard) entitled “Scripture and Scientific Ethnographies Compared” which attempts to explain the origins of the different human populations, colors and languages in terms of the three sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth, and the migrations of their descendants after the Flood. The author mentions a theory of Louis Agassiz, and even though the article predates Darwin’s publication of his theory of Evolution by about one year, it seems that there is already a buzz within intellectual and ecclesiastic circles that may have prompted the author to write this explanatory article. That selection is preceded by another 10 page article entitled “The Great Cycle” which seems to be part one of a history of mankind in terms of Scripture, and may have been intended as an introduction to the first mentioned article The editor, Reverend Hudson, was a noted Shakespeare scholar, and author of numerous books, in addition to his church and editorial duties. At the time of this publication he was rector of a church in Litchfield, Connecticut. Later on during the Civil War he became Chaplain of the 1st regiment of New York Engineers, Army of the Potomac, causing a serious controversy with his commander, Major-General Benjamin Butler.
