XXI. A Jhort View of the Craniognomic SyJIem of Dr. Gall, 

 of Vienna. By L. BoJANUS, M. D. Member of the Me- 

 dical Societies of Jena and Paris, and of the Society of tbc 

 Qbfervers of Man, 



[Cohtinued from p. 84.] 



13. Organ of the trflinSl of exalting onefelf. 



X H E organ in the middle, of the interior edge of the pa- 

 rietals at the upper middle part, and a little towards the po- 

 fterior of the head, gives us a true idea of the difficulties which 

 oppofe the refearches of Dr. Gall, and at the fame time fur- 

 nhhes us with a llriking example of the happy opinions of 

 this great obferver. 



He found this organ well expanded in the chamois goat, 

 and ftili more in the bouquetin ; he obferved the fame thing 

 in fcveral men diftinguiflicd for their pride. It was difficult 

 •to colkcl all tliefe obfervaiions into one point of view. But 

 when he cunfidered that ihe chamois goat inhabits the mod 

 flcvated peaks of the mountains; that the bouquetin always 

 endeavours to afcend higher ; and that pride, when atten- 

 tively examined, is only a defire of being fuperior to others ; 

 he was pcrfuaded that it niuft be this organ which produces 

 ihefe effects different i?i afpearance^ and he confidcred it as 

 the organ of the inftinft of exalting onefelf. 



The head of the proud man, carried upwards and back- 

 wards, tends ftill more to contirm this opinion. 



[It appears to us tliat the picture of the proud man, con- 

 tralted with that of the humble and modeft, renders the truth 

 of this idea fiill more ftriking. In the former, every thing is 

 diredted up.vards : the hair is highly frizzled; the head is 

 elevated; the eye-brows are arched upwards; the eye-lids 

 are raifcd ; the fliouldets are ftraiiiht ; he walks on tip-toe, 

 and looks on every thing arouncl as beneath him. In the 

 latter the hair hiiigs down naturally ; the eye-brows, eye- 

 lids, and head, are Towered, the body and knees are flighlly 

 htrnt : in a word, every thing denotes fubmiffion, and that 

 he has no \vi(h of being above others.] 



14. Organ of the Love of Glory. 



If this organ is more extended on the fides, it forms that of 

 the lo^c of glory; an inelinaiion very analogous to pride. 



75. Organ of tbc hove of Truth, 

 The fun<Sion of the organ which (liows ilfelf at the pofle- 

 ^ior ond fuperior angle of the pariciuls is not entirely fixed by 

 ii Dr.
