7thly. That man Is not gifted with faculties which will enable him to comprehend 

 the ultimate nature either of material or immaterial thinfjs. 



8thly. That the brain is necessary only to the superior faculties of animals ; it is 

 not essential to their vegetative functions, since thousands of creatures exist and 

 multiply without it. It is only found in those which are destined to hold a superior 

 station in the scale of animated existence. 



9thly. Phrenologists believe the soul to be a divine emanation, not scrutable by 

 our senses, not fathomable by our reason, but self-evident, and further manifested to 

 us by religion and revelation. 



lOthly. They believe insanity to be only a disease or disorder of the brain, and 

 that the soul or immaterial principle can never be diseased, nor can ever die. 



llthly. They believe that by observation and induclion the functions of many 

 parts of the brain have been discovered, and most of these parts are ascertainable 

 externally. 



12thly. It is impossible to distinguish the function of any part of the body by 

 examining its anatomical structure alone — the fiinctions of the spleen are not known 

 to this day, although its anatomical structure has been accurately described in ages 

 past. 



13thly. That the peculiarities in the form which distinguish the sculls of men and 

 most animals depend on the formation of their brains, and so assimilated to each 

 other are they, tiiat either the scull or the brain maybe given to find the form of the 

 other. 



14thly. That the size of the brain is not alone sufficient to indicate the power of 

 its action; it is necessary to know the nature of the circulation, the habits and 

 vegetative functions of the individual, before an opinion of the extent of action of any 

 cerebral organ can be correctly estimated. 



15thly. The number of the mental faculties in animals increases only as we find 

 the cerebral parts added to their nervous system in ascending the scale towards 

 man. 



IGthly. All the faculties which belong to the adult are not manifested in the 

 child, because the structure of the brain is not completely developed in childhood. 



I7thly. The faculties of man are not generally retained in their wonted vigour 

 in old age, because in old age the structure of the brain is usually deteriorated. 



ISthly. Phrenologists believe that the grey, cortical, or external part of the 

 brain, is essential to its vegetative functions, but that the functions of each cerebral 

 or mental part inhere in the internal fibrous or white part of the brain. 



19thly. They believe that as form is one of the essential properties of bodies, so 

 the form or shape of the brain may be regarded as essential to and intimately con- 

 nected with the functions it has to perform. 



20th. Phrenologists believe that as the brain of all species of animals has its 

 characteristic form, by which each species may be easily distinguished, so by study- 

 ing the form of the human brain, together with the known functions it performs, 

 they believe that a knowledge of the uses of the several parts of the brain may be 

 obtained. This is the business of phrenologists, and to apply the knowledge 

 obtained by such means is, they believe, to promote the cultivation of human 

 intelligence and the advancement of social happiness.
