NOTE.--These definitions are taken from "The Self-instructor," Fowler &
Wells Co., New York, the leading phrenological publishing-house.
I have received more help for my practical work in the ministry from
phrenology than from any other half-dozen studies, except the Bible.
Even if its physical basis could not be substantiated, its analysis of
the mental faculties is far better and more helpful than that of any
other system of psychology. While it places the intellectual, moral and
spiritual faculties at the top as supreme, it is just as vitally
interested in the care of the body, education, discipline,
self-culture, choice of occupation, matrimonial adaptation, heredity
and all the practical affairs of life. How could a person be more
healthy, happy and successful than by normally and harmoniously
developing all his faculties as phrenology points them out to him?
Phrenology teaches that the mind has certain elementary, selective
instincts, or propensities and sentiments, that attract to them the
mental food germane to their function just as the various cells of the
body select from the blood the elements required. I say that these
instincts have selective power, but they are subject to perversion, and
dependent upon the guidance of judgment and knowledge, just as
conscience does. Take, for example, the appetite for different kinds of
food, the faculty of music, judgment of color, beauty, etc.; and you
will see at once that they have selective power, but that this power
can become perverted, and thus lead to great difference of opinion.
Notice that while these faculties are not infallible guides, and need
the earnest help of other faculties to be the most useful to us, no one
can deny that they point toward truth on these subjects, and are our
proper and only guides along these lines.
