THE HEAD OF GOOD THE MURDERER,

Dr. Elliotson has published a letter on the subject of his
examination of this miscreant's head for phrenological pur-
poses, and we extract the following from it as interesting to
some of our readers :
The portion devoted to intellect is very small, exceedingly
narrow. The breadth steadily augments in a striking man-
ner from the sides of the forehead to the parts above the ear.
We have only to place a pair of compasses above the ears,
where Destructiveness and Cunning lie, and then bring them
forwards, to see the great difference. The breadth of the
forehead is 48 inches, but the part over the ears is more than
6 inches. This, and the parts of the sides above, together
with the back of the head, corresponding to portions of the
brain in which reside the feelings equally supplied to brutes
as to man, are of great size. A considerable portion of the
crown of the bead, where the higher moral feelings are
placed, is narrow and slopes off at the sides, as it usually
does in unscrupulous persons. The organ which gives re-
finement of feeling, called in England Ideality, is, as in
other low criminals, very small. The whole head is rather
small, being but 22 inches in circumference; and its circum-
ference would not have been so great, but that the organ of
Parental Love is of unusual magnitude. Courvoisier's cast
was above 23 inches in circumference. But for the great
preponderance of the feelings in which the brute is equal to
man, over the intellectual and higher moral faculties, the
head would have been exceedingly small.
If, as in my pamphlet. on Courvoisier, published by
Highley, Fleet-street, we signify mean developement by the
figure 3 ; large by the figure 4 ; very large by 5 ; small by
2 ; and very mull by 1 ; the relative developement will
stand thus :

Thus Good possessedl2 feelings, each, except Veneration,
as strong in the brute as in man, of the force of 5 and 4 ;
while the higher feelings were all only as 3 and 2. None of
his intellectual faculties exceeded 3 : those which reached 3
were, with one exception, the inferior intellectual faculties,
one or more of which is often strong in very unintellectual
persons; and the majority of the superior intellectual facul-
ties were but as 2.
