Dear Sir :B om in a slave State, and having passed our c Mldhood and manhood in daily intercourse with the white and black races, it is but natural that jou and I should have become deeply impressed not only by the physical but also by the moral and intellectual differences which exist between them :nor is it less natural that a doubt as to their common ori should suggest itself to our minds. VT wenty-five years of xmceasing professional intercourse with (y these races, and study of their diseases, anatomy and physiology, a careful perusal of all the leading works published in the French and English languages on the Natural History of Man, from Camper and Blumenbach down to the present day, and an examination of the earliest known records of nations, both written and monumental, have not only served to strengthen this doubt in my mind, but have ripened it into a firm conviction that tho Almighty in his wisdom has peopled our vast planet from many distant centres, instead of one, and with races or species origin ally and radically distinct.

Josiah Clark Nott was born on March 31, 1804 in Columbia, South Carolina, United States. He was the son of Abraham Nott and Angelica Mitchell, and the brother of Henry Junius Nott.
Nott graduated from South Carolina College in 1824 and began his medical education in Columbia under the preceptorship of Dr. James Davis. In 1825 he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City but a year later moved to Philadelphia and graduated in medicine from the University of Pennsylvania in 1827. In 1835 he went abroad and for a period of several months studied in Paris.
Nott remained at the University of Pennsylvania for two years as demonstrator in anatomy and then began private practice in Columbia.
Upon his return from Paris he settled in Mobile, Alabama.
During 1857 and part of 1858 he served as professor of anatomy at the University of Louisiana.
During the Civil War he served in the Confederate army. He moved to Baltimore in 1867 and to New York City the following year, where he became a charter member of the New York Obstetrical Society.
Forced to retire because of ill health, he went to Aiken, South Carolina, in 1872, and soon afterward to Mobile.
Besides participating actively in civic affairs and caring for a large general and consultation practice, Nott wrote extensively on a variety of medical and scientific subjects including yellow fever, surgery, hypnotism, and ethnology.
In a paper published in 1844, he stressed the importance of a knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system as a background for treating certain types of cases. He reported in this paper the case of the removal of the coccyx of a patient who was suffering from severe lumbar pains, stating that he knew of no similar operation on record.
In 1866 he published Contributions to Bone and Nerve Surgery, which was intended for young practitioners. Written in a confident, authoritative style, the book describes the pathology of bone and joint injuries sustained in the war and outlines proper methods of surgical treatment. He had expressed his belief in "animal magnetism" or "magnetic influences" in 1846, citing as examples of this phenomenon several persons hypnotized by himself, and recommending mesmerism as a form of treatment for ill-defined nervous disorders. He was also interested in ethnology and in 1854, with George R. Gliddon, he published Types of Mankind, a volume of more than seven hundred pages, which ran through ten editions. The authors attempted to prove that each of the different races of man sprang from a fixed type, "permanent through all recorded time"--a doctrine later contradicted by the Darwinian theory. Indigenous Races of the Earth, by the same authors, followed in 1857.

In 1832 Nott married Sarah Deas, daughter of James Deas of Columbia, South Carolina. There were eight children from this union, four of whom died from yellow fever during the Mobile epidemic of 1853. One son died from exposure and fatigue after the battle of Shiloh and another was killed in action at Chickamauga.
