The American Phrenological Journal—Yol. XV,II. 
for 1853, devoted to Science, Literature, and General Intelli¬ 
gence. Published by Fowlers and Wells, No. 131 Nassau- 
st., New-York. 
Phrenology, the science of mind, includes in its wide 
domain a knowledge of all the faculties, passions, and powers 
of the human soul; all the bodily organism over which the 
soul presides, with its structures and functions; and all the 
realm of nature to which man is related, and with which he 
should live in harmony. It includes a knowledge of man and 
his relations to God and to the universe. It is thus a central 
and comprehensive science, beginning with the constitution 
of man, and ending with all his possible relations, spiritual 
and material. It is thus that self knowledge is the basis 
of all knowledge. 
The Phrenological Journal, therefore, has a sphere 
that is universal. All philosophy, all science, all art, all the 
details of practical life, are legitimate subjects of discussion in 
its columns. The experience of twenty years has not been 
lost to us; nor, amid the progress of this wonderful age, have 
we idly lagged behind. The Journal will endeavor to be 
still a little in advance of the age, and of its own former ef¬ 
forts.

Phrenology, the science which unfolds to man the laws 
of his own Physical, Moral, and Intellectual Being, will still 
command our first attention; all other subjects being, in fact, 
but applications and illustrations of the principles of this sci¬ 
ence. We shall illustrate the varieties of cerebral develop, 
ment by spirited and truthful engravings of striking speci¬ 
mens of Human Nature, in its highest and lowest, its har 
monious and discordant, its symmetrical and grotesque deve¬ 
lopments. 
Young Men, about launching forth upon the activities of 
life, and anxious to start right and understand their course, 
will find the Journal a friend and monitor, to encourage them 
in virtue, shield them from vice, and to prepare them for use¬ 
fulness and success in life. The various occupations will be 
discussed in the light of Phrenology and Physiology, so that 
every one may know in what pursuit he would be most likely 
to succeed. 
The Mechanic, the Farmer, the Professional Man, the 
Student, the Teacher, and the Parent, will find each number 
of the Journal an instructive and valuable companion.

month, at One Dollar a Year. Now is the time to sub¬

A journal containing such a mass of interesting matter, de¬ 
voted to the highest happiness and interest of man, written in 
the clear and lively style of its practiced Editors, and afforded

succeed in running up its present large circulation to a much 
higher figure.— New-York Tribune .
