PhrenoloqicR Character and Biographg 81
lin the chronological Journal for March 1851,
we published the following character Of Colonel
Fremont ;.and nov he isnominated for the prcsi-
dency, we republish it for the benitt of our read
ers, with his portrait and biography.
Col. Fremont has temperament of wiry tough
ness, and extraordinary elasticity. His entire
organization is one OF rare compactness and as
fine in fibre as it is dense and enduring. His body
and head partaking alike of these qualities, ac-
counts for the hardwood and activity of the for
mer, and the cearness, persistence and unbound
edencrgy ofthe latter. shead, faceand body,
are very tremendously proportioned, each one
in. itself, and each to the others. The head
appears very high from the ears, indicating ex-
,raordinary frInness, with large yeneration and
benevolencc. These faculties give an elevation
and aspiring tendency ofcharacter, and asgrasp,
after great achievements Great length from
the ears to the forehead is also seen, showing
very large perceptive, and prominent reflective
organs. Thus all the organs necessary for the
clear thinker, the civil engineer, and the scholar
in natural science, are decidedly large Be-
hold the prominence in the centre of the upper
part of the forehead, Just above where the hair
commences indicating remarkable sagacty in
judging OF human nature at sight. This gives
most essential qualification for reading strans-
ers, and ruling men in emergencies, and is an
indispensable requisite to success in all who
would govern school, a congregation,
manuiactory, q mercantile establishment de-
Lucrative body, ship, or an army. This
strong faculty of Col. Fremont has often beeu
signaily displayed in his hazardous enterprises
over the Rocky Mountains, and other expedi-
tons, when it was necessary to make his mind
the inspiring incentive to others to put forth al
NEST superlluman effort, and yet submit to his
direction without complaint, and endure every
thing for him and his cause. Napoleon, Jack
son, and others, have been conspicuous exam
pies OF this powerlto read and rule character.
Frmness selt-esieen and combatiycness, of
course, are Important coadjutors, but these are
OF little avail governing men unless the per-
son possesses that insi ght into character which
enables him to address each person or class ac-
cording to their nature. q, rg 81 .,-.a
Self-esteem and appropriateness are large in
his head, and are strongly indicated in his char
acter in unfiinching self-reliance and dignity,
with high degree of sensativcness as to his rep
utation and personal honor. ,eae..5., e,s..,.g i.
In his organization are seen the clements ofthe
mathematician, the pioneer, the ambitious, hon
norabic, energetic, thorough, reliable character,
and business man.
70 the foregoing We may add, that his social
organs are large, giving him strong friendship
and the dispositions to cling tenacously to those
tor whom be forms an attachment. He is elni-
nently endowed with inhabitveness, which in.
spires him with the spirit of patriotism and u
deep interest in home and the associations of
dom @stic life. He has most marked indiyidu
ality of character. He is not only courageous,
selt-reliant, resolute and prompt in action, cool
and seli-poised in situations Of imminent peril
butahe is remarkably persevering and deter 4
mined.
In the highest cxcitemcnts Of triumph, lr in
the flercest struggles with difficulty and opposi
ton, his Very great eonscicntiousness leads him
to be most scrupulously just, even in respect to
the least important affairs. This often makes
him hesitate, lest he should speak or act wrong
