JOHN CHS FREMONT
HIS PHRENoLooIcAL CHART.

LOT IIeslueut, WAS PuoiisicH ou cshuese
of his character, which will now be read
with interest.
COLONEL Fremont has o temperament
of wiry toughness, and extraordinary elias
ticity. His entire organisation is one Of
rare compactnes,, and as fue in fibre as it
is dense and enduring He body and
head partaking alike Of these qualities, ac-
counts for the hardibood and activity ~
the former, and the ciearness, persistence,
and unbounded energy Of the latter. His
head, face ard body, are very Harmonious
y proportioned, each one in itself, and
each to the others. The besd appesrs very
high from the ears, indicating extraordi-
nary Firmness, with large Venesation and
Bepevolence. These faculties give an.ele-
vated and aspiring tendency Of character
and . grasp after great achievements.
Great length from the ears to the forehead
is also seen, showing very large Pereepti~e
and promiuentc Reflective organs. Thus
all the organs necessary for the clear think
er, the civil engineer, and the scholar in
natural scisnce, are decidedly large. Be
hold the prominence in the centre Of the
upper hart of the forehead, just above
where the hair commences, indicating re-
markable sagaci.y in judging Of human
nature at sight. This gives a most essen
tial qualification for reading s.raugers,a and
ruling men in emergencies, and is an in
dispense BILE requisite to success in all who
would govern school, congregation, &
mandatory, mercantile establishments
deliberative body, 8 ship, or an army.
This strong faculty Of Gel. Fremont has
often been signally displayed in his haz-
s,dous enterprises over the Rocky Movn-
tsins, and other expeditions, when j: was
necessary to make his mind the inspiring
incentive to o.hsrs to put fn-:h slr,ost su-
perhuusn effor., and yet submit to his d.
rection without complaint, and endure
everything for him and his cause. Napo-
leon, Jackson, and others, have been co.,
spicuous examples uf ,his power Z" reed and
rule character. Firmuess, Self-Esteerr,
and Combativeuess, nf course are cosdju-
tors, but these are Of little svsil in COVER
ming men unless the person possesses that
insight into character which enables him
to address each person or clsss according
to their nature.
selfEs,eem and Appropriateness are
large in his head, and are strongly indica.
ted in his character in unAinching self-rs-
lance and dignity, with high degree Of
seueitiveness as to his reputation and per-
sonal honor.
In his organisation are seen elements OF
the patient scholar, the investigating critic,
the mathematician, the pioneer, the smbi-
tious, honorable, energetic, thorough, reli-
able character, and business man.
To the foregoing we may add. that bis
social organs are large, giving him very
strong friendship, and the disposition to
cling tenaciously to those for whom he
forms an attachment. He is eminently
endowed with Inhabitiveness, which in
spires him with the spirit Of patriotism,
and deep interest in home, and the asso-
Citations of domestic life. He has . most
marked individually Of character. He is
not only courageous, self-reliant, tesclute
and prompt in action, cool and self-poised
in situations of imminent peril, but he il
remarkably persevering and determined
In the highes, rzci.ements Of triumphi OF
in the fiercest struggles with difficulty ant
opposition, his very great Conscientious
uesf leads hin to be most serupulously
lust, even in respect to the least importan
affairs. This often makes him hesitate
lest he should speak Or act wrongly:
He has & very prominent development
Of Cons,ructiveness and Calculation, as see,
in the portrait at the region of the tempt
and outer angle Of the eyebrow hence n
could be successful in mechanical !n~eh
ton, especially in emergencies, and, Ii
conjunction with his reasoning iutellcc'

thematics, and close consecutive reasoning
He has such combinati on Of tempera
meut and menssl organisation as to enael
him to grasp, by kind of intuitiopi tn

apparently impulsive, will bear the scru

He is frank and direct in speech AZ
conduct, but eircumspect and prudent i

His modesty and reserve, snd his fear

bravely; but when hc has sccomp'isbe

: again in his quiet yet dignihed modesty.
