Page "Noble savage" Paragraph 56
from
Wikipedia
To conclude as I began.
My position is, that if we have anything to learn from the Noble Savage, it is what to avoid.
His virtues are a fable ; his happiness is a delusion ; his nobility, nonsense.
We have no greater justification for being cruel to the miserable object, than for being cruel to a WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE or an ISAAC NEWTON ; but he passes away before an immeasurably better and higher power that of Christianity than ever ran wild in any earthly woods, and the world will be all the better when this place knows him no more.
