BUCHANAN'S
JOURNAL OF MAN,
Published from 1849 to 1856 at Cincinnati, is to be re-established at
Boston in February, 1887. When published formerly it was in its
character and merits entirely unique, and, notwithstanding the
progress of thirty-five years, its position is still unique, and in
its essential characteristics different from all nineteenth century
literature, and not in competition with any other publication. It was
needed in 1849, and it is still more needed now. It represents an
entirely new school of thought, based upon the establishment of the
new science of ANTHROPOLOGY, which is a revelation of the anatomical,
physiological, and psychic union of soul, brain, and body, and a
complete portrait of man and the laws of his life, from which arise
many forms of psychological, ethical, physiological, pathological, and
therapeutic science, all of which are eminently practical and
philanthropic in their results.
One of these applications has been given in the volume entitled, "The
New Education," of which Edward Howland says, "Its results cannot fail
of being of even more influence upon the culture and the virtue of
society than the introduction of steam into industrial methods has had
in the distribution of the products of skilled labor."[A]
[A] Rev. B. F. BARRETT, one of the most eminent writers of
his church, says:
"We are perfectly _charmed_ with your book. I regard it by
far as the most valuable work on education ever published.
You have herein formulated the very wisdom of heaven on
the highest and most momentous of all themes. Your work is
destined, in my judgment, to inaugurate a new era in
popular education. It contains more and higher wisdom on
the subject of which it treats _than all the other books
ever written on education_."
