Y \n\xc2\xa3 1844, \n\n\n\nPREFACE. \n\n\n\nThe Author deems it unnecessary to offer an apology for the ap- \npearance of the present epitome, when he takes into consideration I \nhis frequent solicitations for the publication of a small work ofl \nthis kind, and also when he considers the order and arrangement] \nof the Chart ; the organs, too, being expressed in nine different} \ndegrees of developement, so that the feelings and intellect of any \nindividual is printed out at length, and which is peculiarly adapt- \ned to the desires and necessities of those who wish to study \ncharacter as well as those who are practical and theoretical phre- \nnologists. \n\nThe Author has not designed to treat of the subject to so \ngreat a length, as have been the case with those excellent Phre- \nnologists, Messrs. Fowler, and others, though the description of \nthe different degrees of the development of the organs are at more \nlength than any we have yet seen ; and should the present work \nmeet with a cordial reception, the larger work will soon be is- \nsued, and the design of the Author will be accomplished. \n\nE. H. S. \nRochester, N. Y\xe2\x80\x9e March. A.

This mark may be made on \nthe left hand margin, and the propelling power, &c, may be \nmarked in conformity with the scale. \n\n\n\nEntered according to Act of Congress, on the 8th day of March, in the \nyear 1844, by E. H. Sanford, in the Clerk\'s Office of the Dis- \ntrict Court of the Northern District of New York \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPHRENOLOGY. \n\nPhrenology is derived from two Greek words, which signify \nmind and discourse, and is (considered by Phrenologists as) a \ncorrect Philosophy, or medium, by which TO ARRIVE at the \nMANIFESTATIONS of the human mind. \n\nIt teaches, \n\nI. That the brain is the seat of the mind. \n\nII. That the mind operates with the brain : or, in union with \nmatter. \n\nIII. That the brain is endowed with & plurality of innate facul- \nties. \n\nIV. That each of these faculties bears a constant and uniform \nrelation, other things being equal, to the size of such organ or \nfaculty \n\n\n\nV. That the skull, (or cranium) corresponds so nearly, with \nthe form and development of the brain, that the size of the dif- \nferent organs can be accurately ascertained during life. \n\nThe manifested mental characteristics of men depend upon \ncertain conditions : some of which follow. \n\nI. THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM. \n\nThe strength of the system is very important; and probably \nno Phrenological condition is so necessary for the manifestation \nof mind, as a STRONG, COMPACT, and VIGOROUS consti- \ntution. \n\nThe system may be divided anatomically and physiologically \ninto three parts, viz : " Q \' \n\nI. The Cephalic. \n\nII. The Thoracic. \n\nIII. The Abdominal. \n\nI. THE CEPHALIC, \n\nThis is that part of the system above the neck. ft is the seal \nof the nervous system a\'nd the center of sensation. The head \nproper constitutes this part or region, which contains the brain, \nin which are found the roots of the cranial nerves, the blood- \nvessels which supply the different parts, the medulla oblongatta, \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nb \n\n> \n\n\nm \n\nO \n\n\n.\xc2\xa33 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\xc2\xab \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nB \n\nxn \n\n\n\n24,524, \n\n\n\n23,5 23,1 22,3 \n\n\n\n22,3 21,9 21,6 21,3 \n\nII \n\n\n\n15,5 15,3 15,1 !

By means of \nthese, men and animals are brought into communication with \nthe external world. They serve as channels for the inlet of \nknowledge. We ft el by means of the nerves of sensation, we \nsee by means of the optic nerves, wc hear by means of the audi- \ntory nerves, we taste by means of the gustavory nerves, and we \nsmell by means of the olfactory nerves. When impressions are \nmade upon these nerves, each pair conveys to the brain its own \npeculiar impressions. When these different impressions enter \nthe brain, the mind, for the first time perceives their existence j \nand this phenomenon is called perception. \n\nGENUS II\xe2\x80\x94 INTERNAL SENSES. \n\nThese senses, or terceptive faculties, procure knowledge \nof external objects, their various relations and physical quali- \nties.
