PHRENOLOGY.* 



I subjoin a few remarks on Phrenology. 



DEFINITION. Phrenology points out those connexions and relations which exist 

 between the conditions and developments of the BRAIN, and the manifestations of tlie MIND, 

 discovering each frem an observation of the other. Its one distinctive characteristic 

 featurfc is, that each' class o^ mental functions is manifested by means of a given 

 portiQmpf the brain', called an organ, the size of which is the measure of the power of 

 function. Thus the benevolent feeling is manifested and indicated by means of brain 

 in ihe frontal part of the top of the bead, and in proportion to the development of brain 

 here, will be one's spontaneous flow of kind, obliging feeling, and so of every other 

 quality of mind. 



I am indebted to my friend Mr. Wells for the following cut of the phrenological 

 organs. 



* Derived from the two Greek words, " Phren," which signifies mind, and " Logos," discourse ; 

 the two together signifying the science of mind, or its laws and phenomena, as manifested 

 through the brain.
