As far as a comprehensive view of the teachings of Combe can be embodied into a system that the popular mind can understand, this book is as satisfactory an exposition of its kind as has yet been published. The definitions are clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—_Philadelphia Enquirer._ In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the work constitutes by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and is adapted to both private and class study. The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most part from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and great pains have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance of the text in each case. For the student of human nature and character the work is of the highest value. It is printed on fine paper, and substantially bound in extra cloth, by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, $1.50.
