PROSPECTUS FOR VOL. VII.
OF THE
American chronological Journal.

To reform the perfec, man-to bring
out by culture the original beauties and
capabilities of his nature, are objects the
most exalted that can possibly engross hu.
mdnity. But, TO do this either efecluaIly
or correctly, that nature must be known.
aud as Phreaology is the science of hn.
man nature, and especially Of mans n,el>
!eclual and moral constitution, it evolves
all the elemen!@ryprineiplss of his nature
thereby embodying ali the laws Of his
being, all the conditions Of happiness, aud
all the causes OF his sutferings, as well as
of all the evils that attic. society; aud all
this so plainly that the that runs may
read" and SO beautifully as TO excite our
! highest admiration. 1t also furnishes the
only true test and Iouchs,one by which TO
try every doctrine and practice OF The age,
and. indeed, of all past aud all coming
time-every theory of society every qaes.
llcn OF ethics, Of morals, of logic, of equi-
! ty, and even OF religious cretds and prac.
tees; for by developing fully and clearly
the primitive nature and constitution of
man, and that in all its ramifcalions, it
arranges, before the tribunal Of that nature,
! every thing appertalning to man; approx
ing whatever harmonizes with it, bu, con.
demning whatever conflicts Herewith.
The accompanying number of this pc
| riodlcal, as well as lis three las, volumes,
| will serve as samples OF its future course
excepting that the following impor!an. de.
partmenls will be added.

science connected with boh Phrenology
