The Mortal Remains op Swedenborg 51 



stion of Gall's doctrine have to some extent been supported by later 

 researches, (Mcebius 19 and Auerbach l), for the facts here mentioned 

 to be regarded as an argument that the cranium is that of Swe- 

 denborg. 



Our investigation of the general characters of the cranium has 

 consequently not yielded any direct proof of its genuineness, which, 

 for that matter, could hardly be expected. The only positive conclusion 

 we can make is that the skull is that of a man advanced in years; 

 but on the other hand nothing was encountered to stand in the way 

 of his being of Swedish nationality and possessing a preeminent genius. 

 Hitherto no facts have come to light which contradict the 

 supposition that the cranium is that of Emanuel Swedenborg.
