Christian Phrenology: A Guide to Self-Knowledge
Bunney, Joseph
Phrenology
This little work having extended to a greater length than was originally
intended, it is purposed to continue the subject in another volume of
similar size, to which this is the text book.--In that work we design to
point out the influence of the organs in combination,--the harmony of
Scripture with Phrenology--and a text book for perfecting the organization
by means of Holy writ--our object in so doing, is to make Christians the
_true_ Phrenologists, and to make this science one of the great army of
TRUTHS, now advancing to the battle of Armageddon. Our aim in this volume
has been simply to point out the uses of Phrenology, and the truths
whereon it is founded; in the next we purpose to consider the means,
whereby the pious and humble reader of Scripture may be enabled to perfect
his organization, so as to overcome the world,--to fight the good
fight,--and indeed to be born again.
