THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. 369 



a head divided into regions according to these opinions was de- 

 signed by Albert the Great, Bishop of Ratisbon x ; and another 

 was published by Petrus Montagnana, in 1491.y One was pub- 

 lished at Venice, in 1562, by Ludovico Dolce, a Venetian, in a 

 work upon strengthening and preserving memory 2 ; and another 

 at Bologna, in 1670, in a work styled Apologia Fisonomica, by 



their career of vice and infamy took its commencement. When she returned 

 home, she recovered in a quarter of an hour, was quite amazed at the questions 

 put to her about the church sermon, and denied that she had been to any 

 such place ; but next night, on being taken ill, she mentioned that she had been 

 at church, repeated the words of the text, and, in Dr. Dyer's hearing, gave an 

 accurate account of the tragical narrative of the three young men, by which her 

 feelings had been so powerfully affected. 



" The same phenomena present themselves when in the state of somnambulism 

 produced by animal magnetism. It has been repeatedly observed that some 

 magnetised persons acquire a new consciousness and memory during their mag- 

 netic sleep. When this state has subsided, all that passed in it is obliterated, 

 and the recollection of the ordinary state is restored. If the magnetic sleep is 

 recalled again, the memory of the circumstances which occurred in that state is 

 restored, so that the individuals may be said to live in a state of divided or double 

 consciousness." (Dr. Spurzheim, Phren. Am. ed. p. 78. sqq.) See Gall on Per- 

 sonality (raoz), 8vo. t. ii. p. 401. sqq. 



* In the Tesorretto of Brunetto Latini, the preceptor of Dante, published in 

 that century, the doctrine is taught in rhyme : 



Nel capo son tre celle, 

 Ed io diro di quelle, 

 Davanti e lo intelletto 

 E la forza d' apprendere 

 Quello che puote intendere. 

 In mezzo e la ragione 

 E la discrezione 

 Che scheme buono e male. 

 E lo terno e 1' iguale 

 Dirietro sta con gloria 

 La valente memoria, 

 Che ricordo e retiene 

 Quello ch' in essa viene. 



y Gall, 4to. vol. ii. p. 358. sq., 8vo. t. ii. p. 354. sq., where as many his- 

 torical details are given as the greatest detractor from Gall's originality could 

 wish.
