"His large suavity enabled him to use his language in a way that pleased even his antagonists. Mr. Grady was emphatically combative, as shown by full development behind and between the ears, where the cast measures six inches in diameter, but it was the combativeness which showed itself in force and energy rather than contention. His combativeness was harnessed to his suavity, and he could be forcible and at the same time persuasive. "These qualities were re-inforced by remarkable firmness, as shown by the measurement over the top of the head, where the development is a half-inch in excess of that of Daniel Webster, and a quarter inch above that of Napoleon Bonaparte. This characteristic is also shown in the projection forward of the lower lip, caused by habitual compression in the exercise of this faculty. "In this connection, it is interesting to note a comparison of Mr. Grady's head with the measurement of other noted personages. Here is a table which I have compiled, and which you will find entertaining," continued the phrenologist, as he unfolded a paper with the figures herewith reproduced: __________________________________________________ | | | Size around | Size from ear | the head | to ear over NAME. | at base of | top of head | brain. | at organ of | | firmness. ___________________|______________|_______________ | | Henry W.
