PHRENoLoGY, the science of MIND. in.
cludes in its wide domain knowledge Of
all the faculties, passion and powers of tho
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
knowledge of man and his relation to God
and to the universe. 1t is thus a central
and comprehensive science, beginning with
the constitution of man, and ending with
ali his possible relations, spiritual and ma
terial 1t is thus that self knowledge is the
basis of all knowledge.
The chronological Journal, therefore, has
a sphere that is universal. All Philosophy.
all science, all art, all the details of practi
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 en-
deavor to still be 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, MORA
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 engra,ings Of
striking specimens of Human Nature, in
its highest and lowest, its harmonious and
discordant, lis symmetrical and g1otesyue
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-
nology and Physiology, so that every one
may know in what pursuit he would lie
most likely to succeed.
The Mechanic. the Farmer, the PROBES
sional Man, the Student, the Teacher, and
the Parent, will find each number of
the Journal an instructive and valuable
companion.
