PHRENOLoGY, the science OF MIND, in
cludes in Its wide domain knowledge of
all the faculties, passion and powers of the
human soul all the bodily organism over
which the soul presides, with its structures
and functions; and all the realm Of nature
to which man is related, and with which he
should live in harmony. 1t includes a
knowledge of man aud his relation to God
aud to the universe. 1t is thus a central
and comprehensive science, beginning with
the constitution Of man, aud ending with
all his possible relations, spiritual and ma
teria. 1t is thus that self knowledge is the
basis of all knowledge.
The chronological Journal, therefore, has
n sphere that is universal. All Philosophy,
all science, all art, all the details of pracii
cal life, are legitimate subjects of discussion
in its columns. The experience Of twenty
years has not been lost to us nor, amid
the progress of this wonderful age, have we
idly Jagged behind. The JournaL will ell
deavor to still be a little in advance of the
age, and of its own former efforts.
Phrenology, the science which unfolds TO
man the laws Of his own Physical, Moral
and intellectual Being, will still command
our first attention; all other subjects being,
in fact, but applications and illustrations OF
the principles Of this science. We shall
illustrate the varieties of cerebral develop
ment by spirited and truthful engryuings of
striking specimens of Human Nature, in
its highest and lowest, its harmonious and
dscordant, lis symmetrical and grotesque
developments
Young men, about launching forth upon
the activities Of life, and anxious to start
right and understand their course, will find
the Journal friend and monitor, to en-
courage them in virtue, shield them from
vice, and to prepare them for usefulness
and success in life. The various occupa-
tons will be discussed in the light of Phre-
nolvgy and Physiology, SO that every one
may know in what pursuit he would he
most likely to succeed.
The Mechanic, the Farmer, the Profess
sional Man, the Student. the Teacher, and
the Parent, will find each number of
the Journal Oh instructive and valuable
companion.
