Beyond the forehead, the Or
can of benevoIence rises considerably into no.
lice, veneration sill higher, and then 6rmneu
above al,--the latter being one OF the most re,
markable Developments in his head. Accord.
ing TO chronology, Mr.. Adams ought never to
tire or grow weary by labor, ought never repins
in adversely, nor become impatient In trial. At
The same time, he may DE infir1ibe in his Cpl.
MONS. and obstinate ir his temper. The or.
cams of caution are very highly developed, in.
somuch tina, they appear in the skull like the
root of horns; and immediately before them are
deyeloped vei handsomely the organs OF hope,
and conscientiousnes should suppose Mr..
Adams is not given 10 dependency, nor much
tempted to b eak the eighth commandment.
In the back part Of his head, there appearsa
remarkable deficiency in the organ designat q
by self esteem, love Of applause, adhesiseness,
&c. II is impossible that Mr.. Adams can be a
nroud man. He must be ola meek spirit. In
no head, that ever examined minuteiy, have I
observed sos entire an absence OF vanity
Indeed il would seem from appearances, that
he is almost exempt from those passions COM
mon 10 all creatures OF which we have any
knowledge. He has been supposed irritable.
II cannot be- He has been reported oil vehe.
ment resentment, and somewhat prone to op.
pupnation. 1t cannot be. II has been allrdged
against him that he is avaricious. IL cannot
he. In these respects the indications are en-.
t;r-ly different.
Were questioned, TO what is Mr. Adams
;ndeb,e for his distinction in the world! would
answer 10 requirement, occupation, op2ortunl'
ty, iabour, patience, and frmness, more than to
original intellectual pre-eniioeacs-:
The Vice-P President, With a lady on each
arm made his respects TO the President, in COM
mon with many other distinguished persons, a.
mong whom were several Foreign Ministers
and suits. There was not little dignity in the
depor,men, Of the Vice President. His ap.
proach to the Chief Magistrate was steady and
collected; and his sslu,a'ion very respectful
wi,hou, any fastidiousness. l, was returned
e1ac lily in the same manner-and this was the
amount Of The interview.
