370 Morton’s Crania Americana. 
The measurements of the anterior and posterior chembers, as 
we have already mentioned, (p. 359,) are not in accordance with 
any phrenolozical rule. 'The anterior embraces the whole intel- 
lect, a portion of the moral sentiments, and a portion of the ani- 
mal propensities; while the posterior chamber includes the re- 
mainder of_the animal propensities and the remainder of the 
moral organs. The measurement of the internal capacity, is free 
from all objection ; and that of the coronal region approaches to 
correctness ; but the first gives merely the aggregate size of all 
the organs, animal, moral, and intellectual; and the second that 
of the moral organs, with a portion of the intellectual organs, and 
also a portion of the organs common to man with the lower ani- 
mals. 'The phrenological measurements given by Mr. Phillips 
may probably afford more correct means of comparing one portion 
of the brain with another, in the different nations, but our limits 
prevent us from analyzing them. Unfortunately also the letter- 
press titles to his columns are printed up-side down, which reu- 
ders it exceedingly laborious to consult them.- We, therefore, only 
remark that the application of lines delineated by Mr. Combe on 
the skull Figure 1, to those specimens, brings out the relation 
between the mental character and cranial development pretty 
forcibly to the eye. Estimating from A to B and D, the ancient 
Peruvian is seen not to be so defective in the intellectual region 
as a cursory glance would indicate; while: the modern Peruvian 
is obviously larger in that region. The space above D C, devoted 
to the moral organs; is large in the mordern Peruvian in propor- 
tion to the portion below C D, and behind the ear. This race was 
intelligent, and comparatively mild, but superstitious and feeble. 
It has been subdued by the Europeans, and lives under their 
dominion. The Hurons, always averse to civilization, have beet 
nearly exterminated. 'The preponderance of the region below 
C D, (that of the animal propensities, ) in them is conspicuous, com- 
bined with relative deficiency in the moral and. intellectual re- 
gions. The Araucanians have maintained their independence in 
the open field, but resisted civilization. The large development 
of the space A B C, devoted to intellect, and also that below C D 
and behind the ear, devoted to the propensities, is obvious, while 
the space above C D, or the region of the moral organs, is propot- 
tionally deficient. This indicates great animal and intellectual 
power, with imperfectly evolved moral. feelings. ‘To the latter
