这些先生们已经形成了一个地理道德的计划，通过这个计划，人们的义务……不是由它们与宇宙伟大统治者的关系或它们与人类的关系决定的，而是由气候、经度、平行线决定的，不是生活的平行线，而是纬度的平行线：仿佛当你越过春分线时，所有的美德都消失了……;仿佛有一种洗礼，就像水手们所做的那样，他们通过洗礼，把自己从欧洲学到的一切东西都洗掉，然后，一种新的秩序和制度开始了。
[T]hese gentlemen have formed a plan of geographical morality, by which the duties of men . . . are not to be governed by their relation to the great Governor of the Universe, or by their relation to mankind, but by climates, degrees of longitude, parallels, not of life, but of latitudes: as if, when you have crossed the equinoctial, all the virtues die . . . ; as if there were a kind of baptism, like that practised by seamen, by which they unbaptize themselves of all that they learned in Europe, and after which a new order and system of things commenced.
