Chapter II: Part 2

They propose "to give a résumé of those parts of secondary interest, and to publish in their entirety those salient passages which cannot be ignored, the works thus presented having the appearance and the interest of the originals. The reader who cannot spare the time to carefully read the original may thus in a few hours acquire a fair idea of its purpose and value. The second class will be a large number of works that are now out of print, or which can only be procured at a very high price. The third, and perhaps more popular class, will be the works of authors of all ages, of all countries, and of all schools, such as Shakespeare, Corneille, Pascal, Chateaubriand, Sophocles, Racine, Lord Byron, etc. Ten of these volumes have already been published."

In this country, John B. Alden of New York has taken the lead in publishing valuable literature at the lowest possible prices.

PEACEFUL INDICATIONS.

Europe is now profoundly at peace as predicted by psychometry, and the dreary history of royal government assumes a more pleasing aspect to-day. Victoria is an improvement on her predecessors, for she has but drifted along with parliamentary government, and doing neither good nor harm, has behaved with decorum, and preserved the devoted loyalty of her subjects.

The old Emperor William, too, has a loyal nation, and has led a life which does not attract censure. He is fond of military parades, but seeks to avoid war.

As Austria and its rulers do not receive much attention from American journals, I thought it well to look into the royal sphere by Psychometry, and having a photograph of the emperor, I placed it under the hands of Mrs. Buchanan, who pronounces without seeing the object investigated. The following is her language:

"This is a male. There is a good deal of character and
intellect, and he carries with him a good deal of power. I think
he has been sometimes engaged in some great public movement. He
is philanthropic. He has power to sway and carries force with
the people both from his position and his ability.

"I think he is a foreigner with a very high rank. He seems a
magnate of great distinction. He has about as high an office as
can be given, like an emperor or czar.

"There is a good deal of forgiveness in his nature; he forgives
wrongs; he has no cruelty. He is not as selfish as men of his
rank generally are. He is more with the people, less
aristocratic and proud. It is difficult to tell his
nationality--Servia and Austria come into my mind. There is a
great empire about him. There seems to be some dissatisfaction
in the country, some apprehension of invasion and disturbance.
There's a good deal of trepidation. They do not want to go to
war, though there is no cowardice there. They are uneasy and
suspicious of other nations. He is not ambitious for war. I do
not feel that there will be any war. The difficulty is about
some question of territory.

"It is an agricultural country, with a loyal peasantry. They are
not well educated, but naturally intelligent. It is a pleasant,
temperate climate.

"He does not desire to show off kingly power. There's a good
deal of modesty. He is not aggressive. He is quite advanced in
science, but is not a spiritualist. He is orthodox in religion,
but liberal to science."

If she had known the subject of these remarks, and studied European politics and travelers' descriptions, she could not have been more correct.

The Emperor of Austria has introduced a great improvement in royal deportment. The _London Times_ says of him:

"One or two days a week his Majesty receives all comers who have
applied to be received, and he receives them alone. Every
applicant takes his turn. A master of ceremonies opens a door,
the visitor walks in and finds himself face to face with the
Emperor, who is unattended. The door closes and the petitioner
may say to the Emperor what he likes.

"There is no chamberlain or secretary to intimidate him. The
Emperor stands in a plainly furnished study, in undress uniform,
without a star or grand cordon, and greets everybody with an
engaging smile and a good-natured gesture of the hand which
seems to say: 'There is no ceremony here. Tell me your business,
and if I can help you I will.'

"There is nothing petty or evasive in him. He is a monarch who
replies by 'Yes' or 'No,' but always with so much courtesy that
the humblest of his subjects receives from him at departing the
same bow as he vouchsafes to ambassadors. A most lovable trait
in him is that whenever he sees anybody nervous at his presence
he makes the audience last until, by his kind endeavors, the
nervousness has been completely dispelled."

There is nothing like this elsewhere in royal courts, nor anything like their religious observances, which will probably astonish my readers. The following statement appears to be authentic, and was given in the _Sun_:

On Holy Thursday the Emperor and Empress of Austria, in the
presence of their whole court, of the Privy Council, the
Diplomatic Corps, and the superior officers of the Vienna
garrison, washed the feet of twenty-four poor old men and women,
having previously served these venerable paupers with a
plentiful meal, placing the several dishes before them with
their own hands. After the old people had partaken of the good
things provided for them by the imperial bounty, the tables were
cleared by imperial archdukes and ladies of honor. Subsequently
a purse containing thirty pieces of silver was presented by the
Emperor to each of the old men, and by the Empress to each of
the venerable dames, one of whom had all but attained her
hundredth year, while the youngest of the twelve was a hearty
octogenarian.

This religious rite is rarely seen in this country. It was
celebrated on the twenty-first of August by the Primitive
Baptists of Hillsville, Va., a mountainous region of South West
Va. There were about 800 present, some coming from hundreds of
miles. "The preliminary exercises were singing and exhortation
or discussion, the speaker first announcing some point of
doctrine or religious thought. The hymns were lined by reading
one line only at a time. The arrangements for administering the
ordinances were circles of seats, those allotted to the sisters
being in a double row and facing the brothers, who were seated
in a single row. Within the circle was another seat for the
ordained and officiating elders. There was a table with bread
and wine, and under it were buckets of water, basins, and
towels. The bread and wine were first passed around by the
officers of the church, after which came the feet-washing. The
elder who began the ceremony drew off his coat and vest, and
girded a towel around his waist. He then began on the right,
washing and wiping the feet of the brother at the head of the
line, who in turn arose and remaining barefooted, performed the
office to the one next him, and so on until the feet of all had
been washed. The elder who was the first to perform the rite was
the last to receive it. The sisters performed the rite in the
same manner as did the brothers. At the conclusion the elders,
while singing, passed around and shook the hands of all the
brothers and sisters."

King Humbert, of Italy, and his wife, are making themselves quite popular by their unassuming manners and sympathy with the people.

King Humbert objects to taking his pleasures at shows and exhibitions as a solitary; he likes his people to be present and share them with him. At the opening of the exhibition at Venice the king gave expression to his disappointment at the loneliness and emptiness of the halls. An official told him that the public had been kept out from loyal consideration for the comfort of himself and the queen. "I am sorry for this," said his majesty, "though you have done it in good part; it is my belief that the king belongs to the people as well as the people to the king." Before leaving the exhibition he recurred to the subject, again expressing his deep regret. "I hope that none of you believe," said he, "that I am the sort of man who is shy of being seen among the people. I have no grounds whatever for such a feeling."

King Humbert, according to an _American Register_ correspondent, is known for his temperance in all things except that of smoking. It has often been noticed what an exceedingly small eater the King had shown himself on all occasions, and as to drink, his guests may have it in plenty, but his favorite "tipple" is water. His one great weakness was (for it is a thing of the past) a good cigar. He was a formidable smoker, but he abused his taste in that line to such an extent that he has taken a new departure and has "sworn off" from the fragrant weed. His nerves had begun to suffer, he had asthmatic turns, could sleep but little, and then had to be propped up by plenty of pillows. Some weeks ago his physician told him what was the matter, and King Humbert said: "From this day forth I will not smoke another cigar, or anything in the shape of tobacco." His majesty has kept his word, and the result has been a most noticeable improvement in his health. King Humbert is a man of iron will, and no one doubts that he will keep his self-made pledge.

His wife, Queen Margaret, is soon to figure as an author--with stories founded on the legends of the Middle Ages. She speaks several languages and reads English literature, keeping herself posted on English views and politics. She is described as being devout but liberal, lovely and graceful, quite attractive, and much idolized by the Roman people.

The Queen of Roumania is a poetess of romantic sentiments, and lately underwent examination for a diploma, giving her a right to do certain teaching in the schools. In fact, all the continental queens are much brighter than Victoria.

THE REIGN OF PEACE.

We find another very pleasant indication of the coming peace that was psychometrically prophesied for all the world, before 1889, in the Central American States. Advices from Panama of April 25th, said:

"Of great present and future interest to the republics of
Central America are the treaties recently accepted by the Diet,
which assembled in Guatemala. The aim was 'to establish an
intimate relationship between the five republics, and, by making
the continuance of peace certain, to provide for their final
fusion into one country.' The treaty contains 32 articles, which
provide that perpetual peace shall exist between the republics,
that all differences shall be arranged, and that in the event of
this proving impossible, such differences shall be submitted to
arbitration. The idea which appears to have been prominent among
the members of the convention was the establishment of settled
rules, which, governing all the republics, shall simplify the
government of each. The fortunes of each one of these industrial
and agricultural States is so intimately allied to those of the
others, that it really appears that they are destined to form
one common nation.

"To prevent further shedding of blood the Central American
Congress made provision, in case of discord, that the States at
variance should agree upon an arbitrator. For this reason a
nomination is made in advance, and regulations were drawn up in
order to prevent, under any circumstances, the outbreak of war.
Should, however, armed disputes arise between two or more of the
republics, the others bind themselves to observe the strictest
neutrality.

"All the republics bind themselves in the most solemn manner to
respect the independence of each State, and to prohibit the
preparation in any one of armed expeditions against any of the
others, and that all citizens of the different States shall
enjoy similar privileges and rights throughout all of them."

Finally--John Bright and 173 members of the British House of Commons have signed the American Peace Memorial, nine of whom will come with the deputation to America.

THE SINALOA COLONY.--Co-operation in some form is the only hope of philanthropists for a harmonious settlement of the labor question. Hence we must feel an interest in the Sinaloa Colony. I have always maintained that there are very few of the present generation (who are the outcome of war and competition) fit for co-operative life. Mr. Owen in his letter of last August says:

"The work we have laid out in Sinaloa requires, at first, men of
frontier experience--those who can fish, hunt, cook, work the
land and hold to a purpose in the face of privations and even
death.

"We repeat again that if the women wish us to succeed they must
not go to Sinaloa until we have gotten water, garden, and houses
for them, and _never_ without _first_ obtaining permission from
our New York office.

"The Credit Foncier company was conceived in kindness and love
for mankind, and its mission was and is peace on earth and good
will to every human being. It is to be regretted that the
Company was not financially able from the beginning to guard its
friends from discomforts and disease. Such was its endeavor, but
the circumstances surrounding our movement have made this
impossible. Of all times during the 19th century, perhaps, we
struck Sinaloa when it was the least prepared for us. Our
friends, however, would not be advised. Their idea of
co-operation was that every one was to act as he or she pleased,
at the time and place he or she selected; and that the Company
was to be responsible for his and her employment, food, shelter,
health and comfort at all times and in every place. So
thoroughly did they believe this that they did not even think it
was necessary to give the Company a hint that they were going to
Sinaloa, how, when, or for what purpose.

"Well! what was the result of each acting for him and herself?
Some 400 and more persons were dumped off at Topolobampo into
the brush and cacti, and over fifty per cent of these were
women, children, and aged persons, who became at once a heavy,
constant, and ever increasing care to those who were physically
capable of meeting the requirements of the movement. This
actually put upon every able-bodied pioneer a child, woman, or
aged person to attend to, to see sheltered, to have fed, etc.,
etc., besides his duties, and it added five times to the
expenses in the field which the Company proposed at first to
meet. But this was not the worst. The attention which it was
necessary to give to these non-combatants took the men from the
work that the Company expected to be done. This discouraged
those who were able and willing to work and piled anxieties upon
our best friends until they tottered under loads other than
belonged to the cause. Disease, death, and discouragement
followed. Those who remained in the States were frightened, and
the Company was left almost moneyless and powerless to assist,
even when it was most earnest in its work and in its wish to do
so.

"Had an army preparing for a campaign been recruited in such a
way, its friends would have demoralized and defeated it before
an enemy had been met. The United States Army, during the late
rebellion, was recruited in the following way: every man had to
be stripped naked, measured, weighed, examined, and reported by
a medical officer to be physically and mentally capable of
enduring camp life, before he was enlisted, and even after this
test and care, the records will show that thirty per cent each
year, without going into battle, became sick, died, deserted, or
went home, _i.e._, only 70 per cent of all those recruited for
the war stood the trials, even to get the first smell of the
burnt powder.

"Now that we have gotten our pioneers reduced to about 200, to a
few more than we had in December at Topolobampo, and to which
number we then urged that no more be added, we can organize and
begin anew to follow out the details laid down in _Integral
Co-operation_, strengthened by having veterans in the field and
by an experience with our people which will be of value to them
and to the Company.

"We are informed that some of those who returned in July, like
those who came back in April, expect to go again to Sinaloa as
soon as the Company is in shape to push its work. We wish to say
to these friends that all who have proven themselves to be
thoroughly with the movement will be welcomed in our midst, but
that we positively order--and in this we have the support of
every director and every good colonist--that every person who
goes to our settlements hereafter shall apply for and obtain
permission from the New York office. _Our purpose is now to lead
the movement and not to have the movement lead us._ Any colonist
who goes to our settlements in violation of these instructions
will not be received as a friend, will not be employed,
sheltered or provided for, and will forfeit stock and credits in
the Company."

When the pioneers in philanthropic schemes learn that their success depends entirely upon the persons enlisted, and when they select those persons by a psychometric knowledge of character or a thorough knowledge of their past lives, sternly rejecting all who are weak, unbalanced, passionate or selfish, success may be expected. The adversities at Topolobampo are the best preparation for success, by sending off all who were not fitted for such work.

There is evidently some good material at Topolobampo. Ida Hogeland wrote, July 30, 1887:

"Let not your heart be troubled. There is nothing, absolutely
nothing, up to this last day of July that has interfered with
our bodily comfort, though we live in tents yet. The showers are
so gentle and refreshing that they serve as a perpetual
delight."

W. W. Green says:

"But whether stockholders do their part or not, we are here to
do our part in solving the great question of Integral
Co-operation, and if we fail it is their fault. But we do not
intend to fail. We have men here of the right grit, and enough
of them to hold the fort. So you need not be alarmed on that
account. A. K. Owen has not lied to us about the resources of
the country."

Mr. Owen promises to bring in a hundred good colonists in November, and says the Mexican government manifests a friendly feeling.

RECTIFICATION OF CEREBRAL SCIENCE

(_Continued from page 32._)

The map of Gall presented here is taken from his large work published from 1809 to 1819 (price 1000 francs), the latter part being finished without the co-operation of Spurzheim. The great imperfection is apparent at a glance. Gall simply published what he saw, or thought he saw, and being a very imperfect, inaccurate observer of forms and outlines, he attached himself chiefly to the idea of prominences (or bumps) at certain localities, and to his mode of presenting the subject we are mainly indebted for the ridicule of phrenology as a science of bumps. I have taken much pains to assure my students that cerebral science has little or nothing to do with bumps, that bumps upon the skull belong to its osseous structure, which presents certain protuberances with which they should be acquainted, and do not indicate development of brain, which is indicated by gentle changes in the contour of the skull, the form of which shows how much room there is for special convolutions.

To Gall's drawing, which was by no means accurate, I have added the names of the organs as he recognized them, and given definite boundaries to the organs which he represented by a shaded drawing, conveying the idea of a central elevation. I have given them the whole space allowed by his shading, and this leaves considerable space unoccupied, as if he did not know what lay between them. Spurzheim, on the contrary, attempted to cover the entire ground, and had a more harmonious arrangement than Gall, in whose map we see the inventive faculty running into murder, and avarice into music and poetry. Yet even Spurzheim retained avarice in contact with ideality, invention, hope, and conscientiousness. Neither seems to have realized that there is no example in the brain of a single convolution perfectly homogeneous, and even intermingled in its minute structure, suddenly changing its essential functions into something entirely opposite, when there is not the slightest separation or differentiation of the cerebral matter. When such marked differences are perceptible, it is due to the separation of the convolutions by the furrows or anfractuosities into which the pia mater descends, making a substantial separation. But this nice survey of the convolutions and their boundaries was obviously impossible by cranioscopy, which, at the best, could only recognize considerable differences of magnitude. Psychometry alone is capable of minute exploration of functions, the results of which I published in a large map of the head in 1842.

The chart of Spurzheim needs no further criticism at present. In contrast with the chart of Anthropology, the reader will observe that the latter presents the functions of the entire basilar region of the brain, which are marked upon the face and neck in the most proximate locations. The catalogue of Spurzheim is as follows:

ORGANOLOGY OF SPURZHEIM, 1832.

In this bust we see the psychological functions of the
brain. To state its physiological influence on the
bodily functions would require a separate bust or chart.

ORGANOLOGY OF BUCHANAN, 1842-1887.]

In presenting a psychological map of the brain it is almost impossible to separate psychology entirely from physiology in the nomenclature, as the basilar organs relate more to the body than the soul. Alimentiveness or appetite, Virility, Sensibility, Hearing, Vision, Turbulence, all imply physical operations. At the same time all the higher emotions, which we express in psychic terms, have their physical effects on the body, which are very important and enable us to understand PSYCHIC THERAPEUTICS, a science which has been blindly cultivated under the name of Mind Cure. A thorough understanding of the double functions of the brain and body enables us to solve all the great problems of mind and body, and apply our solution to the business and duties of life and organization of society.

It is not proposed to present here a complete view of the new Anthropology, as the functions and locations of organs will be presented fully hereafter, but merely to show by a brief catalogue how large an addition has been made to the old system to fill all the vacant spaces left on the surface of the cranium and on the basilar surfaces of the brain which are reached through the face and neck, the functions of which are therefore designated on the external locations on the face and neck through which they are reached.

In the intellectual region our more thorough analysis gives us for the higher understanding, not merely Comparative Sagacity and Causality, but Foresight, Sagacity, Judgment, Wit, Reason, Ingenuity and Scheming or planning. At present I merely state the facts that such organs are demonstrated by experiments. The philosophy, beauty and perfection of the new Anthropology will be made apparent as the subject is developed hereafter. Behind the region of understanding are found several semi-intellectual organs,--Ideality and Marvellousness, which have been recognized in the old system, and above them Imagination and Spirituality, which in connection with Marvellousness make a group to which I have given the name of Genius, as when largely developed they give great brilliance and expansion of mind. Immediately above Reason is a region producing Pliability and Versatility, which greatly assists the reasoning faculty in mastering unfamiliar truth. Admiration, adjacent to Imagination, gives great power of appreciation and recognition of merit. Sincerity and Candor or Expressiveness also add much to the capacity for attaining truth; and Liberality, between Foresight and Benevolence, adds much to the expansion of the understanding.

The middle intellectual region gives us Intuition and Clairvoyance at the inner face of the front lobe, then Consciousness and observation, running into recent and remote Memory, above the region of Phenomena which recognizes the changes in physical objects. Between Time and Invention we have System, lying between Order below and Planning above. Between Invention and Ideality we have Composition or Literary Capacity, and in Ideality a region of Meditation (not marked) running into Somnolence, the region of Dreaming and of Transcorporeal Perception or Impression. This runs into General Physical Sensibility, through Impressibility (not marked), and anteriorly into the sense of Hearing (adjacent to Language and Tune). The organ of Sensibility has many subdivisions unnecessary to mention at present. Below this lies the region of Interior Sensibility, which I have generally called Disease, because it gives so great a liability to morbid conditions, but of course no condition in the human constitution is morbid aside from injurious influences.

In the lower range of Intellectuality we find just below Order and Calculation the sense of Force, which might be called the muscular sense or sense of exertion, by means of which we perceive the action of our muscles and attain great dexterity. Immediately over the pupil of the eye we find the faculty of Vision or sense of Sight, marked Light, which runs into a sense of Shade at the inner angle of the eye, by which two perceptions everything in nature except colors is recognized. Light extends up into Color. The middle of the brow is therefore the seat of Vision, while Hearing is in the temples behind the eye. The eye gives us the external location of the organs just behind it, which I do not call Language, although certainly favorable to the study of languages, in which Gall was practically correct. The anterior surface of the middle lobe, represented by the eye and the face, is a region of natural language or Expression, a tendency to manifestation which is so conspicuous in children, but which becomes subdued in adult life by the higher powers, during which change the infantile fulness of face generally disappears. The prominence of the eye therefore indicates a more active manifestation of intellect and close attention to everything that interests, or thoughtful observation.

The face is marked as the region of Expression, which lies in the anterior surface of the middle lobe, and gives the ready excitability and disposition to manifest our feelings in response to all who approach us. The upper portion of the face corresponds to the expression of the upper surface of the brain, the lower to the occipital region and the posterior inferior portion to the basilar region. Hence the breadth and prominence of the lower part of the face is not a pleasing feature. Ardor or evolution of warmth is expressed by the prominence of the chin, which corresponds to the medulla oblongata. Excitability running into Insanity is expressed below the jaw, and its milder form as Childishness and tendency to Idiocy below the anterior part of the jaw, while Hysterical Nervousness appears below the chin, and Sexual Passion at the larynx.

On the side of the head we have Modesty and Reverence, the former running down into Bashfulness and the latter into Humility or Servility. Next to these we find Sublimity, which was correctly suggested by the Edinburgh phrenologists. It lies between Reverence and Cautiousness.

Passing up from the timid and excitable region of Cautiousness to its upper prudential region we reach a prudent, calm and self-controlling region which is marked Sanity, as it is the power which overrules the passionate excitability and gives us self-control and consequent clearness of mind. Next behind Cautiousness comes Coolness or Coldness, which is both a mental and physical quality, behind which we have a region of Repose, the tendency of which is toward sleep. Below Coolness we have a region marked Force, which gives energy and impulse without the violence that is developed lower down.

Immediately over the ear is the region of Irritability, the antagonist of Patience. Going forward, the functions change to Excitability and Sensibility; going back it becomes impulsive and somewhat lawless. This impulse, antagonistic to Religion, manifests itself as Impulsiveness and Profligacy. Farther back the impulse becomes the Rivalry which is seen in all species of games as well as in the competitions of all species of business and ambition. Rivalry runs into grasping Selfishness, Acquisitiveness or avarice, and this, through Jealousy and Deceit, into the familiar function of Combativeness.

Passing down from Combativeness, Jealousy, and Rivalry, we come to a more intense hostility in Hatred, or the spirit of Domination and Revenge (antagonistic to Love), anterior to which at the mastoid process we find the maximum violence in Destructiveness and Desperation, the antagonists of Hope, and Philanthropy or Kindness. This is the murderous region, below and behind the ear, which Gall and Spurzheim mislocated above it, whereas it belongs to the inferior face of the brain, where the organs grow downward.

Passing forward and inward on the basilar surface, adjacent to the petrous ridge of the temporal bone, and the anterior margin of the tentorium, we reach in front the passional region of Rage and Insanity and a little further back, a region of restless and lawless Turbulence, which is marked upon the neck, and which antagonizes the regions of Tranquillity, Patriotism, and the outer portion of Conscientiousness.

Anterior to the Destructive and Turbulent region, but a little more external than Insanity, are the regions of Roguery and Pessimism, which appear immediately at the ear and on the lower angle of the jaw, which is marked as Melancholy on account of its sullen gloom, which looks always on the unfavorable side. The organ manifested behind the jaw through the inner ear or meatus auditorius is one of sensual selfishness which, when predominant, produces Baseness or disregard of all duties for our own indolent and profligate indulgence, antagonizing Conscientiousness. Closely adjacent to this is the tendency to Intemperance, belonging to the organ of Love of Stimulus, at the posterior margin of Alimentiveness. Anterior to Alimentiveness is the indolent region, the organ of Relaxation, between Disease and Melancholy, the antagonist of Energy which gives untiring industry.

Looking at the occiput, we find below Self-esteem or Pride, which was correctly located, the organs of Self-confidence, Love of Power, and Arrogance, extending down the median line to the cerebellum. Parallel to this we find Ostentation (which might be called Vanity) and Ambition, organs which antagonize Modesty and Ideality, as those of the median line antagonize Reverence. Next to Ambition comes the region of Business Energy, a less aspiring and ostentatious element than Ambition. Next to this come the regions of Adhesiveness, the gregarious social impulse, Aggressiveness, the intermediate between Adhesiveness and Combativeness, possessing much of the character of each, and Self-sufficiency, which relies upon our own knowledge and desires to lead others. These three organs are the antagonists of the intellectual, and yet by a wonderful law to be explained hereafter, they co-operate with them. The region between Aggressiveness, Repose, and Force is marked Stolidity, as that is the effect of its predominance. It bears some resemblance to the stubborn character of the upper portion of Combativeness, in which organ we may clearly distinguish five or six different modifications of its energy.

Combativeness, Aggressiveness, and Business Energy run into Dogmatism, a sceptical and domineering impulse. Ambition and Ostentation run down into Loquacity and Fascination, below which we find Familiarity, which runs into Arrogance and Sexual Virility. Between the latter and the Turbulent region is the region of pure Animalism, of which Sarcognomy shows the correspondence in the legs. Above this in the region of Hatred is the location of Vital Force, which has its correspondence at the upper posterior part of the thigh. The general sympathy of the thigh is found in the restless and impulsive region at the side of the neck, which antagonizes Cautiousness.

On the superior surface of the brain we find parallel to Religion on each side, Philanthropy or Kindness, Hope and Love, which antagonize Destructiveness, Desperation, and Hate. Anteriorly on each side of Benevolence is a pleasing region antagonistic to Combativeness and Jealousy, and manifesting many pleasing sentiments, which I have grouped under the general title of Harmony. In this region Faith and Candor, or love of truth, antagonize Jealousy. Politeness, Imitation, Friendship, Admiration, Pliability, Humor (or Mirthfulness), and Sympathy antagonize Combativeness. The region of Genius antagonizes sceptical Dogmatism.

Behind Love, which self-evidently belongs to the higher region of the brain, where the founders of the science failed to find it, comes Conscientiousness, which was discovered by Spurzheim, and behind that, experiment shows Fortitude, the antagonist of the sensuous appetite, Energy, the antagonist of indolent relaxation, and Cheerfulness, the antagonist of Melancholy, by which I have so often removed depression of spirits, the lack of which leaves us a prey to melancholy. Exterior to Conscientiousness comes Patriotism, or love of country.

Parallel to the posterior part of Firmness lies Heroism, or Hardihood, next to which come Health and Oratory, then Approbativeness and Playfulness, running into Sense of Honor and Magnanimity. Approbativeness, Playfulness, Honor, Magnanimity and Self-sufficiency might as one group be almost included in the old conception of Approbativeness. Magnanimity is a faculty closely akin to Self-esteem or Pride, but belongs more to interior sentiment and is less external or demonstrative.

All of these new organs and faculties have been discovered, demonstrated and studied since 1835, my first discoveries, which included a great portion of the whole, having been made by the cranioscopic method of Gall and Spurzheim, in which I found no difficulty in detecting the errors of my predecessors, and discovering the truths which are so patent to one who seeks them. But alas, the dispassionate search for truth is the rarest virtue on earth. Even Gall himself had not enough of this to recognize the discoveries of Spurzheim. Nor had Spurzheim enough to get rid of some of the palpable errors of Gall, such as placing Acquisitiveness in the temples, Mirthfulness in the philosophic group, and reversing the true positions of Tune and Constructiveness, extending the latter into the middle lobe. Spurzheim, however, was a better and more faithful observer than Gall, and greatly improved the science of Phrenology, though he never realized that from the brain we may develop a complete Anthropology.

This hasty enumeration of the psychic portion of the demonstrated functions of the brain, which my predecessors failed to reach, will give the reader some idea of the magnitude of the task to discover all this, to establish its relations to anatomy, and, I may add, to cerebral mathematics, and to organize the whole into a harmonious philosophy, which demonstrates itself, when understood, by a divine perfection which is beyond the power of human invention to originate.

Perhaps some readers may feel that I should have introduced the subject by systematic demonstrations and narratives of experiments. I avoid this because such narratives would not be attractive to readers who are eager to reach a valuable truth, and do not wish to go through the labors of discovery. Nor am I at all concerned about demonstrations. If I have unveiled eternal truths, my successors, if they are faithful students, will be compelled to see what I have seen, and to verify my observations.

I simply KNOW the truth of what I present, from several reasons, each one of which is sufficient in itself.

1. EXPERIMENTAL.--As an experimental investigation I have many thousand times excited the organs of the brain in intelligent persons and made them realize or show the effects as I stimulated the intellect, the emotions, the passions or the physiological functions, so as to bring out Memory, Intuition, Somnolence, Spirituality, Love, Religion, Hope to ecstasy, Pride, Arrogance, Combativeness, Avarice, Hunger, Theft, Insanity, Sleep, Mirth, Grief, etc., etc., and the organs that change the action of the heart, the muscular strength and the bodily temperature. These experiments have been made before great numbers of enlightened persons and have been largely repeated by my students. Manifestly I cannot speak with any less confidence of Anthropology than a chemist does of chemistry, when for forty-five years, I have ever been able and willing to demonstrate its principles by experiments on intelligent persons, changing their physical strength, their circulation and their mental faculties.

2. SENSITIVE.--I have felt nearly all the functions of the brain in various degrees of excitement in my own person, and know the positions of the organs as well as the gymnast knows the position of the muscles in which he produces fatigue. My physical sensibility has been so acute as to recognize by local sensations at all times the degree of activity in any portion of the brain, manifested by local warmth and sensibility, by a sanguineous pressure, by vivid sensations in the scalp, with erection of the hair, or by aching fatigue, or by irritations and tenderness in the scalp; or in case of inactivity by the entire absence of sensation, or in case of obstruction by a distinct feeling of oppression.

3. PSYCHOMETRIC.--I have explored every portion of the brain with care and minuteness by the psychometric method, even tracing the convolutions and their anfractuosities, and observing from point to point how beautifully and harmoniously the innumerable functions blend with each other; how the different portions of a convolution vary, and how the different conditions of the brain and different degrees of excitement modify the results; and these investigations have been carried on for years, until results were clearly established and over and over confirmed by psychometry, by experiment, and by consciousness.

4. MATHEMATICAL.--The development of so positive a science enabled me to establish certain mathematical or GEOMETRIC laws of cerebral action, concerning the direction and mode in which all faculties act upon the mind and body, which laws constitute the BASIC PHILOSOPHY of Anthropology, the highest generalization of science. These laws constitute a compact system of science, lying at the basis of all psychology, as the bony skeleton is the basis of the human form. These laws being easily demonstrated, and giving great clearness and systematic beauty to the whole science, are alone a sufficient demonstration. They constitute the science of PATHOGNOMY.

5. CRANIOSCOPY.--In describing characters or constitutions, the new system is continually tested and demonstrated. All whom I have taught find, when they test it, that, in its applications by cranioscopy, the results invariably confirm the accuracy of the science.

6. CORRESPONDENCE.--Sarcognomy demonstrates in the body an entire correspondence to the system of functions and organs discovered in the brain. The same functions, on a lower plane and in corresponding locations, are found in the body.

7. APPLICATION.--In the application of the science, not only to the diagnosis of character and disease but to the solution of problems in human nature, the explanation of temperaments, the determination of relations between persons or sociology, the correction of education, the organization of philosophy, the criticism of literature, the philosophy of oratory and art, the development of a philosophic pneumatology and religion, and, finally, the study of the animal kingdom,--every application gives evidence of its competency and its truth as a supreme science and philosophy.

MASTERING THE SCIENCE.--The large amount of detail of the organology of the brain which has been presented, will, no doubt, strike most readers with a sentiment of multitudinous confusion, and a doubt of the possibility of their ever applying so complex a science to the study of character. I have the pleasure of saying that the difficulty quickly vanishes when one is rightly instructed, and that I generally succeed in a single evening in making my pupils acquainted with the localities so well as to avoid any material error. The more perfectly any science is developed and understood the easier it becomes to impart its principles. In the next chapter I will show how easy it is to learn the organic locations of Anthropology and apply them to the judgment of character.

TO YOU PERSONALLY.

The JOURNAL OF MAN acknowledges with pleasure your co-operation during the past year, its trial trip. It presumes from your co-operation, that you are one of the very few truly progressive and large-minded mortals who really wish to lift mankind into a better condition, and who have that practical sagacity (which is rare among the educated) by which you recognize great truths in their first presentation before they have the support of the leaders of society. If among our readers there are _any_ of a different class, they are not expected to continue. The sincere friends of the JOURNAL have shown by many expressions in their friendly letters, that they are permanent friends, and as the present size of the JOURNAL is entirely inadequate to its purposes, they desire its enlargement to twice its present size and price. They perceive that it is the organ of the most important and comprehensive movement of intellectual progress ever undertaken by man, and they desire to see its mission fulfilled and the benefit realized by the world, in a redeeming and uplifting education, a reliable system of therapeutics, a scientific and beneficent religion, a satisfactory spiritual science, and the uplifting of all sciences by Psychometry. But it is important to know in advance that all the JOURNAL'S present readers desire to go on in an enlarged and improved issue. You are, therefore, requested to signify by postal card your intentions and wishes as to the enlarged JOURNAL. Will your support be continued or withdrawn for the next volume, and can you do anything to extend its circulation? An immediate reply will oblige the editor.

COLLEGE OF THERAPEUTICS.

The next session opens by an Introductory Lecture, at 6 James street, Tuesday evening (7.30), November 1st, which all subscribers of the JOURNAL are invited to attend. Fee for the course of six weeks, $25.

Subject of the introductory, "What can we all do for ourselves and our friends?"

LITERARY NOTICES.

The life of Philippus Theophrastus, Bombast of Hohenheim, known by the name of Paracelsus, and the substance of his teachings concerning Cosmology, Anthropology, Pneumatology, Magic and Sorcery, Medicine, Alchemy, and Astrology, Philosophy, and Theosophy, extracted and translated from his rare and extensive works, and from some unpublished manuscripts, by FRANZ HARTMANN, M.D., 220 pages. Published by George Redway, London, York Street.

Scientific students will find it interesting to trace the life and speculations of Paracelsus, but to those who are not well grounded in science and philosophy, who have an easy credulity, such writings have a misleading tendency. Paracelsus was a great reformer, both in medicine and religion, and had very remarkable success as a physician. The sensation he produced, the profound admiration of his friends and hostility of his enemies show him to have been an extraordinary man. The present volume is well written and interesting, and furnishes themes for future comment.

"Life and Labors of Dr. J. R. Newton,--Healer, or The Modern Bethesda." This handsome volume of 320 pages, with a fine likeness of Dr. Newton, should occupy a place in every library, as a record and demonstration of the grand truth that man has in his living spirit a healing power which is proportioned to his spiritual development and affinity with heaven. Sold by Colby & Rich, Boston, $2.

"THE PURPOSE OF THEOSOPHY," by Mrs. A. P. Sinnett, London, published by Chapman & Hall, 1885 (107 pages). This is a brief and clear statement of the Oriental Theosophy. That it differs widely from the Theosophy of American students is a matter of course. Tradition and Science never agree entirely. The pursuit of the highest wisdom is Theosophy, and to this the JOURNAL OF MAN is devoted, but is not encumbered by ancient theories.

[Hand pointing right] See advertisement of Rare Books, by R. Weiss.

"CONSOLATION and other poems, by Abraham Perry Miller," of Worthington, Minnesota; published by Brentano, New York, 122 pages. This little book is full of graceful verse and fine thoughts well expressed. The author's style has a simplicity and perspicuity which make a contrast to the occult style of Tennyson, and convey many good lessons, as in the sentence,

"We bear within us that which makes us blest
And Heaven and Hell are carried in the breast."

"THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE," by Dr. R. C. Flower, Spectator Publishing Co., Boston, 52 pages, 50 cents. This handsome brochure discusses many prevalent evils in a pungent and rhetorical style and gives a great amount of good advice in a sprightly and practical way.

"The Mediumistic experiences of JOHN BROWN, the medium of the Rockies, with an introduction by Prof. J. S. Loveland." A book of 167 pages. Price, $1.00.

This is quite a remarkable and interesting volume. The introduction, by Prof. Loveland, is very well written, and presents the merits of Mr. Brown as one of the pioneer mediums. "A distinct centre in the history of modern Spiritualism." "Before Davis grasped the Magic Staff," before the Fox girls had heard the "mystic rap," John Brown had wandered from "the rock-bound shores" of "old New England" to the wild fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains, and amid a company of adventurous trappers and traders, was manifesting the strange facts connected with the spirit side of our complex life. A few copies left at this office will be sent by mail for $1.

A VOLAPÜK GRAMMAR, for the study of the Volapük language, by Prof. Kerchkoffs, translated into English by Karl Dorubush, has lately been published. Volapük has gained a foothold in nearly every European nation, and bids fair to become universal.

PSYCHOMETRIC PRACTICE.

Mrs. C. H. Buchanan continues to apply her skill in the description of character and disease, with general impressions as to past and future. Her numerous correspondents express much gratification and surprise at the correctness of her delineations. The fee for a personal interview is $2; for a written description $3; for a more comprehensive review and statement of life periods, with directions for the cultivation of Psychometry, $5.

MAYO'S ANÆSTHETIC.

The suspension of pain, under dangerous surgical operations, is the greatest triumph of Therapeutic Science in the present century. It came first by mesmeric hypnotism, which was applicable only to a few, and was restricted, by the jealous hostility of the old medical profession. Then came the nitrous oxide, introduced by Dr. Wells, of Hartford, and promptly discountenanced by the enlightened (?) medical profession of Boston, and set aside for the next candidate, ether, discovered in the United States also, but far inferior to the nitrous oxide as a safe and pleasant agent. This was largely superseded by chloroform, discovered much earlier by Liebig and others, but introduced as an anæsthetic in 1847, by Prof. Simpson. This proved to be the most powerful and dangerous of all. Thus the whole policy of the medical profession was to discourage the safe, and encourage the more dangerous agents. The magnetic sleep, the most perfect of all anæsthetic agents, was expelled from the realm of college authority; ether was substituted for nitrous oxide, and chloroform preferred to ether, until frequent deaths gave warning.

Nitrous oxide, much the safest of the three, has not been the favorite, but has held its ground, especially with dentists. But even nitrous oxide is not perfect. It is not equal to the magnetic sleep, when the latter is practicable, but fortunately it is applicable to all. To perfect the nitrous oxide, making it universally safe and pleasant, Dr. U. K. Mayo, of Boston, has combined it with certain harmless vegetable nervines, which appear to control the fatal tendency which belongs to all anæsthetics when carried too far. The success of Dr. Mayo, in perfecting our best anæsthetic, is amply attested by those who have used it. Dr. Thorndike, than whom Boston had no better surgeon, pronounced it "the safest the world has yet seen." It has been administered to children and to patients in extreme debility. Drs. Frizzell and Williams say they have given it "repeatedly in heart disease, severe lung diseases, Bright's disease, etc., where the patients were so feeble as to require assistance in walking, many of them under medical treatment, and the results have been all that we could ask--no irritation, suffocation, nor depression. We heartily commend it to all as the anæsthetic of the age." Dr. Morrill, of Boston, administered Mayo's anæsthetic to his wife with delightful results when "her lungs were so badly disorganized, that the administration of ether or gas would be entirely unsafe." The reputation of this anæsthetic is now well established; in fact, it is not only safe and harmless, but has great medical virtue for daily use in many diseases, and is coming into use for such purposes. In a paper before the Georgia State Dental Society, Dr. E. Parsons testified strongly to its superiority. "The nitrous oxide (says Dr. P.) causes the patient when fully under its influence to have very like the appearance of a corpse," but under this new anæsthetic "the patient appears like one in a natural sleep." The language of the press generally has been highly commendatory, and if Dr. Mayo had occupied so conspicuous a rank as Prof. Simpson, of Edinburgh, his new anæsthetic would have been adopted at once in every college of America and Europe.

Mayo's Vegetable Anæsthetic.

A perfectly safe and pleasant substitute for chloroform, ether, nitrous oxide gas, and all other anæsthetics. Discovered by Dr. U. K. Mayo, April, 1883, and since administered by him and others in over 300,000 cases successfully. The youngest child, the most sensitive lady, and those having heart disease, and lung complaint, inhale this vapor with impunity. It stimulates the circulation of the blood and builds up the tissues. Indorsed by the highest authority in the professions, recommended in midwifery and all cases of nervous prostration. Physicians, surgeons, dentists and private families supplied with this vapor, liquefied, in cylinders of various capacities. It should be administered the same as Nitrous Oxide, but it does not produce headache and nausea as that sometimes does. For further information pamphlets, testimonials, etc., apply to
