scull of man with that of brute. The human brain rises high above the nose and ears, and is long upon the top, while that of the brute is low and slopes directly back from the root of the nose. And the more, the less

intellectual the animal. Thus the heads of monkeys, as seen in the accompanying engravings, are exceedingly low and small on the top, as compared with those of man, and those of dogs as compared with those of monkeys, and those of snakes, frogs, turtles, alligators, etc., as compared with those of dogs; and with this descending gradation their respective characters correspond.

To take a front view of their heads. Phrenology locates Destructiveness directly OVER THE EARS. Accordingly all carnivorous animals are wide at this point, while all the herbivora are narrow here. Thus, on

comparing the hyena with the sheep, the fox with the rabbit, the hawk with the hen, the owl with the turkey, etc., we find all the former to be exceedingly wide headed, while all the latter are narrow headed, as seen in the accompanying engravings. See how perfect the coincidence between organization and character. What could be more so ?

Stand in front of any lion, or tiger, or bear, or panther, or any other beast of prey, and contrast the width of their heads between their ears with that of those animals which they destroy. Who ever saw a narrow headed lion, or tiger, or hyena, or carnivoræ of any sort? In nearly a score of tiger casts and sculls belonging to our collection, the widening of the head is very rapid from their top to the opening of the ears, and the most in one of a royal Bengal tiger. In the scull of an immense lion which we lost at or near Syracuse, N. Y., in 1843,* Destructiveness was still larger; as the many who have seen it at our lectures can testify. But secretive animals, like the cat, fox, and ichneuman, are more fully

developed just above Destructiveness, where Phrenology locates this cunning organ, as seen in the accompanying engravings of the fox and cat. Catch any domestic cat, and observe their heads half an inch above the openings of their ears, and you will find Secretiveness swelled out like two small horns, beyond all the other organs.

Take another example in the bulldog and pointer-the former always wide headed, and accordingly our fiercest and most desperate dogs, ever ready for a fight; whereas the narrow headed pointer does up all his fighting with his heels.

Take one other example of an idiot as contrasted with one of giant intellect, and then say whether there is not a perfect coincidence between the doctrines of phrenological science on the one hand, and the mentality

on the other. Nor are these picked samples. The cerebral formations of ALL lions, tigers, hyenas, foxes, cats, hawks, hens, idiots, and philosophers coincide with their mental characteristics. Ransack air, earth, and water, and you cannot find a single exception to the phrenological doctrine of "DEVELOPMENTS AS CHARACTER." Else why have not the opposers of this science met and refuted us here? Why not adduce at least ONE exception from the animal kingdom, to our rules? Because they cannot. Because Phrenology embodies those laws in harmony with which God created man and animal. All animated nature, throughout

all its infinite range of genera, species, and individuals, stands up & living witness of its truth.

'OI always believed there was something in it," says one, "but they carry it too far." But remember that it is true or false as a WHOLE. If any part is true, ALL parts are therefore true. Either no relation exists between organization and character, or else all is relation. If its fundamentals are true, so are its details. Nature never minces. Either Phrenology embodies those fundamental principles in harmony with which God constructed man and brute, or it is all moonshine-let these facts and reasonings determine which. Those who say it is not true, either betray ignorance of its facts, or inability to reason. The nature of its proof is such as to DEMAND belief. Every sensible mind is, therefore, called upon either to explain away these facts, or else to admit the necessary inference that PHRENOLOGY IS TRUE.

Its truth admitted, what are its USES? It can promote that great end of our being, HAPPINESS-the only true standard of valuation-in the most effectual manner possible. Probably nothing equally. To canvass a few items

1. It will teach us our defects and their remedies. When we are wanting in taste, or devotion, or conscientiousness, or intellect, or order, or self-respect, or any other faculty, Phrenology points out such deficiency so plainly that he that runs may read, and so certainly that blinded self conceit cannot fail to see them.

2. It also shows how to IMPROVE upon these defects, how to enlarge

organs that are deficient, and guide and govern those in excess-an application of the highest possible utility. The improvements of the age in manufactures, agriculture, the arts, and almost all the departments of life are very great, because they promote human happiness-that one end of being; but all other improvements sink into insignificance in comparison with that of the human MIND, the only instrumentality of enjoyment. Hence, since Phrenology teaches how to effect its improvement, it of course discloses the greatest invention of the age of the WORLD. Its application to the cultivation of all the faculties will be found carried out fully in the editor's series of works entitled "Education and Self Improvement”—Vol. I., showing how to improve the physiology, Vol. II., the feelings, and Vol. III., the intellectual faculties.

3. It will teach us what occupations and spheres we are naturally cal. culated to fill in life, with honor and profit, and in what we cannot succeed or enjoy ourselves-the sad want of which some of us have doubtless felt experimentally through life. Reader, what would it have been worth to you to have known in youth just what business and station you were adapted to fill? More to many of you than all the money you have ever earned-than almost any other thing. Thus much will the application of this science to the choice of occupations for your children be worth to them.

4. It will teach us the characters of our fellow-men-will teach mer. chants and others whom to trust and whom not; those who manage men how to approach them, what chords to touch, and the like; parents and teachers how to manage children, and what motives will take hold of them; those who employ domestics and apprentices what applicants will best suit their purposes, and thus of numberless kindred illustrations.

The following, copied from the New York Sun, shows the advantage to be derived from its application to the choice of apprentices :

"AN APPRENTICE WANTED.--A STOUT BOY not over 15 years of age, of German or Scotch parents, to learn a good but difficult trade. N. B.-It will be necessary to bring a recommendation as to his abilities from Messrs. Fowler and Wells, Phrenologists, Nassau street. Apply corner of West and Franklin streets."

This same firm had already chosen several apprentices in the same way, and found them such excellent workmen, and withal, so trusty, that they will not now make choice of an apprentice unless he possesses the right DEVELOPMENTS-large intellectual, constructive, and moral organs.

Another firm in New York who pay out nearly a million dollars in France yearly, would not make their choice of purchasing agent till his head had been submitted to the test of phrenological science. Similar instances are common; and the advantages of ascertaining the true character, beyond the possibility of mistake, in these and kindred cases is incalculable.
