The teacher may be thus supposed to address the children, pointing to each picture, as he describes it.
Little children, this is a picture of negroes: they live in Africa, but are often stolen from their own country to be made slaves of.
Africa is a very hot part of the world, and the poor negroes are black, and have short black woolly hair, something like the hair on a black sheep; but we must not laugh at them for this; it was God who made them as well as he made you; and those poor negroes are very mild and quiet people, and like to amuse themselves by singing and dancing.
You see the negroes in this picture; they are carrying a black lady in a kind of basket, called a palanquin: a pole goes through this, and they hold it on their shoulders.

The next picture represents some of the people who live in a country called Otaheite; they are strong, stout people, and very mild and friendly.

They are not black like the negroes; their complexion is of a pale brown, with black eyes and very handsome white teeth.

The next picture represents Scotch Highlanders: they live in the cold parts of Scotland; they are very strong and healthy, and able to bear cold and hanger very well.

They are fond of playing on the bagpipes.
