125 "In Asia, in Africa, in America, all the ancient civilizations were seted in hot climates (p. 37). Asiatic civilization has al
ways been confined to that rich tract where alone wealth could be easily obtained. This immense zone comprises some of the most fertile parts of the globe; and of all its provinces, Hindustan as extending south to Cape Comorin is certainly the one which was for the longest period has possessed the greatest civilization (pp. 39-40). We find that no people living in a very northern latitude have ever possessed that steady and unflinching industry for which the inhabitants of temperate regions are remarkable. The reason of this becomes clear, when we remember that in the more northern countgries the severity of the weather, and, at some seasons, the deficiency of light, render it impossible for the poeple to continue their usual out of foor employments (p. 24).” - H.T. Bucle's History of Civilization, Edition of G. Routledge & Sons, Ltd.
