Brain and Mind,
OR, MENTAL SCIENCE CONSIDERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF
PHRENOLOGY AND IN RELATION TO MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
By H. S. Drayton, A.M., M.D., and James McNeill, A.B. Illustrated with
over One Hundred Portraits and Diagrams. $1.50.
The authors state in their preface: “In preparing this volume it has
been the aim to meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise which
not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental
science known as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to Anatomy
and Physiology, as those sciences are represented today by standard
authority.” [Illustration: Phrenological Head]

Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed at. The scientific researches
of the last twenty years have demonstrated the fearful and wonderful
complication of matter, not only with mind, but with what we call moral
qualities. Thereby, we believe, the divine origin of “our frame” has
been newly illustrated, and the Scriptural psychology confirmed: and
in the Phrenological Chart we are disposed to find a species of “urim
and thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s will concerning us, at
least His revelation of essential character. One thing is certain,
that the discoveries of physical science must ere long force all men
to the single alternative of Calvinism or Atheism. When they see that
God has written himself sovereign, absolute, and predestinating, on
the records of His creation, they will be ready to find His writing
as clearly in the Word; and the analogical argument, meeting the
difficulties and the objections on the side of Faith by those admitted
as existing on the side of Sight, will avail as well in one case as
in the other. We will only add, the above work is, without doubt, the
best popular presentation of the science which has yet been made. It
confines itself strictly to facts, and is not written in the interest
of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its copious
illustrations, pictorial and narrative, and the whole is brought down
to the latest information on this curious and suggestive department of
knowledge.—_Christian Intelligencer._
As far as a comprehensive view of the teachings of Combe can be
embodied into a system that the popular mind can understand, this book
is as satisfactory an exposition of its kind as has yet been published.
The definitions are clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—_Philadelphia
Enquirer._
In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds
with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the
work constitutes by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and
is adapted to both private and class study.
The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most
part from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and
great pains have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance
of the text in each case. For the student of human nature and character
the work is of the highest value.
It is printed on fine paper, and substantially bound in extra cloth, by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, $1.50. Address
