Just feel the shape of your own head, and then ask a friend to let you
do the same thing to him or her. Most likely you will be very surprised
at the difference between the two. You may have bumps in certain places
while your friend has them in totally different parts.
The science of phrenology, which is the reading of bumps,
has discovered that bumps in certain places point to certain
characteristics; if you have them, you must have the characteristics,
and, if you have not them, you cannot have those qualities. In fact,
the reading of character through the medium of bumps is a very definite
science, and it is a science that can be easily learned and applied by
almost anyone. Of course, there is much to learn, but there is no need
to know a great deal if you merely want to assess a person's character
in general terms.
A chart is supplied on p. 47, and on it is marked out just enough to
enable you to read a head with ease. Only certain areas are mapped out;
the rest of the head may be the location of bumps, but it does not
present the bumps which are likely to interest us just now.
