This savage scene is reflected in the comparatively civilised stations all down the West African coast, where the inexperienced and ardent philanthrope is apt to suppose that the lazy, feckless habits are not nature-implanted but contracted by contact with a more advanced stage of society.
Now the philanthrope of our party was also a phrenologist, and had conceived a curiosity to inspect the head of the very superior negro who had made all this money; so, at his request, Candido was summoned from the well, and ordered to take off his hat. This being removed disclosed the covering of a cotton handkerchief, of which he was also obliged to divest himself.

A small vial of a harmless soporific, a closed carriage, a private cabin on board a Channel steamer with these and a little of the adroitness so remarked in the celebrated Bucket, the affair is in the bag! John's Forest; worth abode of a miscreant fit for the Forest of Bondy! At the first sight you would say a philanthrope, a friend of man.
Autre physionomie intéressante, celle de Lord Shaftesbury, un beau type d'aristocrate, au physique comme au moral, très sensible et compatissant, un philanthrope bon et loyal, anti-esclavagiste militant.
