The organ of LANGUAGE, the first discovery of Gall, has been the first to receive its demonstration from pathology and vivisection. But the pioneer teacher to whom contemporaries are unjust has to wait very long for an honorable recognition. The existence of an organ of Language at the junction of the front and middle lobes, at the back of the eye-sockets, has become established in our physiology from the developments of disease and autopsies, without mentioning in connection that it was the discovery of Gall. Perhaps the authors of the text-books may not even know the location of Gall's discovery in the brain, and think only of the external sign, the prominence of the eyes, produced by the convolution at the back of their orbits. Dr. Spurzheim simply located the external sign of the prominence of the organ at the eye, while Gall recognized the talent for languages as lying further back than that for verbal memory, and consequently being manifested lower at the eye. Nevertheless Gall made a correct observation, as he noticed that a full development was indicated when the temples were broad behind the eye. The true location of the organ externally is just behind the outer angle of the eye, a position central to Gall's observations, and corresponding in the brain to that junction of the front and middle lobes in which the organ has been demonstrated by pathology, though not so accurately defined as in my experiments. Perhaps in twenty or thirty years more my demonstrations having been brought before the public may attract the attention of the laborious vivisectors in Europe, who have done so much to verify them, and who will find that their labors do not refute but do confirm what I have discovered by methods so much simpler, easier and more pleasant. In the second volume I propose to show in detail how much the pathologists and vivisectors have done to illustrate and corroborate the new Anthropology. [Illustration: ORGANOLOGY OF GALL, 1809. 1.
