is widely known in America and Europe, having been before the reading
world fifty years, and occupying a place in literature exclusively its
own, viz.: the study of =Human Nature=.
It has long met with the approval of the press and the people, and
as a means of introducing the JOURNAL and extending an interest in
the subject, we have prepared a new =Phrenological Chart=. This is a
handsome lithograph of a symbolical head, in which the relative location
of each of the organs is shown by special designs illustrating the
function of each in the human mind.
These sketches are not simply outlines, as shown above, but many of them
are little gems of artistic design and coloring in themselves, and will
help the student to locate the faculties and to impress his mind with a
correct idea of their prime functions.
For instance, =Combativeness= is represented by a scene in a
lawyer's office, where a disagreement has led to an angry dispute;
=Secretiveness= is shown by a picture of the cunning fox attempting to
visit a hen-roost by the light of the moon; the teller's desk in a bank
represents =Acquisitiveness=; a butcher's shop is made to stand for
=Destructiveness=; the familiar scene of the "Good Samaritan" exhibits
the influence of =Benevolence=; =Sublimity= is pictured by a sketch of
the grand scenery of the Yosemite Valley.
The Chart also contains a printed Key, giving the names and definitions
of the different faculties. The whole picture is very ornamental, and
must prove a feature of peculiar attraction wherever it is seen; nothing
like it for design and finish being elsewhere procurable.
It is mounted with rings for hanging on the wall, and will be
appropriate for the home, office, library, or school. The head itself is
about twelve inches wide, beautifully lithographed in colors, on heavy
plate paper, about 19 x 24 inches. Price, $1.00. It is published and
offered as a special premium for subscribers to the =Phrenological
Journal= for 1885. To those who prefer it, we will send the
Phrenological Bust as a premium. The Journal is published at $2.00 a
year, with 15 cents extra required when the Chart or Bust is sent.
Single Number, 20 cents. Address
