THE TRIUNE PHREN0-PHIL0S0PIIERS.

A NEW SYSTEM OF PHRENO-PHYSIOGNOMY, AND MANY

NEWLY-DISCOVERED PHRENO-ORGANS.

Haying devoted more than twelve years to investigation, travel, observation and inquiry, as a student of the Science of Mind, this system is the result I ask that it be examined thoroughly. Let not friendship favor it, nor charity spare its faults ; but let the keen edge of truthful criticism lay bare its defects with remorseless justice ; error deserves no friends, and truth can safely bid defiance to all its enemies. I have no selfish wish to propagate doctrines, merely because they are my own. No one can be more eager to worship in the temple of truth, no one more desirous to sacrifice his own egotism at her shrine.

All human performances are necessarily imperfect ; but I doubt whether in the whole round of the sciences anything more beautifully systematic can be found, than is exhibited in the arrangement of the Phreno-organs as thus set forth.

The study of human nature, has, in all ages, been deemed of the very first importance, and called into vigorous action the master minds of every civilized nation. But the numerous systems that have been successively produced and abandoned, afford sufficient evidence that the great fundamental principles of human nature have never been discovered. Some philosophers had shut themselves in their closets, and endeavored, by reflecting upon the operations of their own minds, to frame a system of mental philosophy which would apply to all mankind. But the result was that they only acquired an imperfect history of a few of their own mental powers, while they remained in total ignorance of the causes which produce the great diversity of human character.

Others have endeavored to acquire a knowledge of man by traveling, and mingling with all classes and conditions of the human race. These were more successful ; but however much knowledge might, by the experience of a whole life, be acquired in this manner, it necessarily died with the individual, as it was of such a nature that it could not be communicated.

Anatomical investigation is a method of studying human nature ; but, although t j:s leads to more correct conceptions in regard to the functions of the body, it sheds no light upon the operations of the mind- The study of Physiognomy, is another method ; it has been pursued since the days of Aristotle, Theophrastus and Zopyrus, among the ancients, to the attempts of Camper and Lava-" ter of our own day ; but the real success which has attended the labors of phy-

siognomists, is really owing t> llieir approximation to the great Iruths of Phrenology though they were utterly ignora t of this science. By examining the work of Camper and Lavater, it will be .found that the few useful iruths which they contain are bused upon the principles explained in this work.

The foundation of Phrenological science was laid by the discoveries of F. S. Gall, a native of Germany, who was born March 9th, 1757. His attention was first .directed tj the subjec while a school b y, from noticing the singular circumstance that those boys who committed the words of their lessons to n emory with the greatest ease, had prominent eyes. He next observed that those who excelled in the memory of places, had a peculiar prominence upon the forehead. After leaving the University, he commenced the practice of med icine. He was now a man of science — his very profession led him to study human nature in connection with the human constitution — and he began to reflect — "|If the prominence of one part of the head indicates one talent, and the prominence of another part indicates another, may not all the talents and dispositions of men be indicated by the development of different parts of the head ?" The suggestion seemed plausible. He accordingly, having vainly examined all the authors on mental philosophy, began the observation of heads of peculiar characters. He was successful, even beyond his most ardent hopes ; for he :ioon d scovered external indications of talents for painting, poetry and the mechanic arts, besides several of the moral and animal propensities. Gall's first publication on the subject was in 1798. He very naturally failed to give Bystem to the facts which he had discovered ; and the names whic h he gave to the organs were unphilosophical. In 1801, fortunately for the science, John Gasper Spurzheim. also a German, became a pupil of Gall, and in 1804 was admitted as his paitner.

In 1802, t e lectures of Dr. Gall at Vienna, which had continued for five years, were prohibited by order of the government, obtained through the influence of the clergy. In 1805, Gall and Spurzheim left Vienna, and traveled to some of the other cities of Europe, lecturing upon and disseminating their docti iiK In 1807, Gall arrived at Paris, and remained there until his death, which took place in 1828.

Spurzheim dissolved his partnership with Gall in 1813, and in 1814 visited Great Britain, lecturing in the principal cities.

In 1*17, he returned to Paris. In 1824, the lectures, of Gall and Spurzheim at Paris were prohibited by an order of the government. Spurzheim again visited Great Britain in 1825, where he afterwards spent most of his time until June 20, 1K32, when he sailed from Havre, and arrived at New York, August 4. He remained in New York until the 11th, when he proceeded to New Haven. Ou the Kith he left for Hartford, and from that city he went to Boston, where he arrived on the 20th. He gave a course of lectures in Boston, and ano her at Cambridge. This was the last labor of Spurzheim in the cause of science. A slow, continued fever, not at fir t considered dangerous, finally proved fatal, and he died at Boston, Nov. 10, 1832.

No man was ever more shicerely lamented. The most distinguished tokens of love and regi rd were extended to him while living, and the highest testimonial of grateful reverence followed him to the grave. His beautiful monument at Mount Auburn, is but an emblem of the pure affect : on with which his memory is cherished. The marble may p«rish, and the place of burial be forgotten,
