In India and other countries not very different in climate from the southern parts of the United States, the inhabitants are distinguished for a softness and inoffensiveness of manners, degenerating almost to effeminacy; it is here then, only, that we are exempt from the general influence of climate: here only that, in spite of it, we are cruel and ferocious! Poor Carolina!
Of these conscripts few ever saw their country again; and these few having left it as youths returned to it infirm and old. Gold, which had become more common, made soldiers proportionately dearer; the growing charm of effeminacy enhanced the price of the opposite virtues. Wholly different was the posture of affairs with the rebels.
Have I shown no proof of that weakness or effeminacy which is so contemptible in a man? Have I done all the good I could? Have I shown all the marks of attention I ought to the persons, present or absent, to whom I owe kindness, respect, and affection? These questions were read to him every night from his journal. To each one he returned a reply in writing.
The effeminacy in his own nature had from the first both shrunk from and been attracted by the masculinity in Brandon. He could have loved that man, but as the situation had forbidden that, his feeling now was very near to hate. Then, as the weeks had gone by, Mrs.

With copper-coloured men, as with whites, luxury and effeminacy weaken the physical constitution, and heretofore deformities were more common at Cuzco and Tenochtitlan. This precocious nubility depends on the race, and not on the influence of a climate excessively warm.
With an aid, which I dare scarcely hope would be granted me, and, above all, with talents which I am far from having yet acquired, might not some advantage be taken of the jealousy of the different nabobs, the hatred of the Mahrattas, the venality of the sepoys, and the effeminacy of the English?
Perhaps no work was ever offered to the public in which the kindness and providence of God have been set forth by more striking examples, or the machinations of priestcraft been more truly and lucidly exposed, or the dangers which result to a nation when it abandons itself to effeminacy, and a rage for what is novel and fashionable, than the present.
