CRANIOLOGY.

1t is m the brain, then, that we are tempted to
place the seat of reason and it appears that the
human brain excels that of monkey by the number
and intricacy of its fold and convolutions so should
we anaegicaly be led TO suppose that the difference
in mental endowments between one man and another
may be connected with a greater amplitude of the
surface OF the brain, those who are the most hio
ly gifted. Then it is certain that the skull is for
med latter the brain, and moulded upon it, and that
very moderate attention will enable an anaomist for
the most part, to distinguish those promineDces
which are caused by the inequalities of the bone,
from those which mark the proportions of the brain;

Gall, which proposed to determine character By re-
ference to the height and breadth, and prominence
of different parts Of the skull. The genealogical
theory seemed to derive support from popular ex-
term that has been vulgary used to describe extent
Of capacity and high forhead has always been look
ed upon mark OF superior understanding. 1t is
to be regretted, that an inquiry, which began with
so much promise OF success. seems likely to end in
disappointm Of thirty years have now
been employed and half the heads Of Europe, that
we're worth it, have been examined, in the attempt
to lay down chart OF the brain and we may sup
pose that, il there be an essential relation between
| the shape of the head and our intellectual and mo
raj endowments it would not now remain undiscov
cred Had such discovery been made. it would
follow, that candid persons, with moderate power oil
observation, would be able to trace in the heads oil
men Of marked character and talent, general con
irmation Of the genealogical theory. For my owr

understanding OF others and the more ingenious
and clever the observer, the more readily will he be
