"I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character
insusceptible
of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy."
