• It was once remarked to a eeientifiui pre-
, that the theory he WAS endeavour-
ing to establiah was at variance with buts;
to which he angrily replied, 'a Then, so
much the woree for yoer • filets, my doe -
tripes are true." So whoa wo hare ap-
pealed to nature and reason in attestation
of the truth of I'hrcno:ogy, we have been
told that nature and reason were testis de-
praved, therefore Phrenology must be false.
But our opinions or institutions will neither
modify the operation, of the on., nor the
clear Indications of the other; for Nature to
nothing but the revelations -of the Almigh-
ty, manliest to our sepses --and Rearms is

Geology teaches us that the earth must
have undergone several mighty changes in
its structure, previous to Its becoming tit
for the occupation of man; each of these
changes rendered rt capable•of sustaining a
race of beings, somewhat aupereor to that
which preceded it-tuitd man was created
in the triage of hu Maker. These &tiercer
changes are indicated by the different starts
of which the crust of the earth re cuutpo.eal,
and the petrified remains of animals which
must have enbeteted on them. It is s
cur,uua and interesting (art, that the lace
tion and nature of the did:irent organs in
the brasq, harunonize with the different
geological state, and their aounal proJuc-
1e,ns.
To make the subject still clearer, -it bas
been deunonetrated that, previous to berth,
the brain of the human frame assumes the
form ot the brains of the different races of
animate, trona the lowest grade of animal
existence, tell, in the mew -born infant, it re-
eeu,bles the brain of an ape -but it con-
tinues to expand in the htgher regions, un-
til, at maturity, it obtains that superior din

The selence of Phrenology ie founded •
upon three general principles, which 1 will
endeavour to establish belore 1 commence,
to illustrate the details.
1st• The brain is the general organ of
the mind, or the physical In,tument of 1
thought and feeling. +
2d. The brain is composed of an many
different organs as there are distinct feccul-
lies and feelings in the mind.
l• . The mental powers of the brain. or of
a0 organ of the brass, will be m proportion,
to Its nae -other eondttun.s being ec,,eal.
