"Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed at. The scientific
researches of the last twenty years have demonstrated the fearful
and wonderful complication of matter, not only with mind, but with
what we call moral qualities. Thereby, we believe, the divine origin
of 'our frame' has been newly illustrated, and the Scriptural
psychology confirmed; and in the Phrenological Chart we are disposed
to find a species of 'urim and thummim,' revealing, if not the
Creator's will concerning us, at least His revelation of essential
character. The above work is, without doubt, the best popular
presentation of the science which has yet been made. It confines
itself strictly to facts, and is not written in the interest of any
pet 'theory.' It is made very interesting by its copious
illustrations, pictorial and narrative, and the whole is brought
down to the latest information on this curious and suggestive
department of knowledge."--_Christian Intelligencer, N. Y._
"Whether a reader be inclined to believe Phrenology or not, he must
find the volume a mine of interest, gather many suggestions of the
highest value, and rise from its perusal with clearer views of the
nature of mind and the responsibilities of human life. The work
constitutes a complete text-book on the subject."--_Presbyterian
Journal, Philadelphia._
"In 'Brain and Mind' the reader will find the fundamental ideas on
which Phrenology rests fully set forth and analyzed, and the science
clearly and practically treated. It is not at all necessary for the
reader to be a believer in the science to enjoy the study of the
latest exposition of its methods. The literature of the science is
extensive, but so far as we know there is no one book which so
comprehensively as 'Brain and Mind' defines its limits and treats of
its principles so thoroughly, not alone philosophically, but also in
their practical relation to the everyday life of man."--_Cal.
Advertiser._
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 mind and character the work
is of the highest value. By mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, $1.50.
