,,buchanan',s                           
,,journal ,,of ,,man1   ,published from 
#ahdi to #ahef at ,cincinnati1 is to be 
re-established at ,boston in ,february1 
#ahhg4 ,when published formerly it was  
in its character and merits entirely    
unique1 and1 notwithstanding the        
progress of thirty-five years1 its      
position is still unique1 and in its    
essential characteristics different from
 all nineteenth century literature1 and 
not in competition with any other       
publication4 ,it was needed in #ahdi1   
and it is still more needed now4 ,it    
represents an entirely new school of    
thought1 based upon the establishment of
 the new science of ,,anthropology1     
which is a revelation of the anatomical1
 physiological1 and psychic union of    
soul1 brain1 and body1 and a complete   
portrait of man and the laws of his     
life1 from which arise many forms of    
psychological1 ethical1 physiological1  
pathological1 and therapeutic science1  
all of which are eminently practical and

 philanthropic in their results4  ,one  
of these applications has been given in 
the volume entitled1 ,the ,new          
,education1 of which ,edward ,howland   
says1 ,its results cannot fail of being 
of even more influence upon the culture 
and the virtue of society than the      
introduction of steam into industrial   
methods has had in the distribution of  
the products of skilled labor4,a      ,a
 ,rev4 ,b4 ,f4 ,,barrett1 one of the    
most eminent writers of         his     
church1 says3          ,we are perfectly
 charmed with your book4 ,i regard it by
         far as the most valuable work  
on education ever published4            
,you have herein formulated the very    
wisdom of heaven on         the highest 
and most momentous of all themes4 ,your 
work is         destined1 in my         
judgment1 to inaugurate a new era in    
popular education4 ,it contains more and
 higher wisdom on         the subject of
 which it treats than all the other     
books         ever written on education4

  ,to watch and to assist the progress  
of humanity has been the pleasure of the
 editor for half a century1 and it will 
be the task of the ,journal of ,man1 as 
far as practicable1 to present a        
periscope of progress in all that       
interests the philanthropist4 ,almost   
innumerable questions are arising       
concerning human rights1 opinions1 and  
interests1 such as1 the new education1  
the new theology1 theosophy1 occultism1 
spiritualism1 materialism1 agnosticism1 
evolution1 paleontology1 ethnology1     
ancient religions1 systems of ethics1   
sociology1 political economy1 labor and 
wages1 co-operation1 socialism1 woman's 
progress and rights1 intemperance and   
social evils of every grade1 modern     
literature1 the philosophy of art and   
oratory1 revolutions in medicine1       
sanitary and hygienic science1          
democracy1 public men and women1 prison 
reform1 the land question1 and questions
 of war or peace1 and national policy2  
upon all of which the ,journal of ,man  

must necessarily occupy an independent  
position1 and present peculiar views1 in
 the light of the new sciences of which 
it is the exponent1--views not derived  
from the past1 not in harmony with the  
orthodox literature of the day1 nor     
tinged by any credulous fanaticism1 but 
resulting from a half century of earnest
 and scientific search for truth4       
,another important function for a       
philanthropic and progressive journal is
 to assist in the diffusion of liberal  
literature1 and to keep an eye upon the 
prolific press of to-day1 for the       
benefit of its readers1 calling their   
attention to the meritorious works1     
which are often neglected1 and warning  
against pretentious folly and sciolism4 
,but it is not supposed that the        
programme of the ,journal can be fully  
carried out until the completion of     
certain works now in hand will permit   
its enlargement4  ,the existence and    
diffusion of such a science as          
psychometry--the dawn of a new          

civilization1 as it is considered by its
 adepts and its friends1--is alone an   
imperative demand for a journal to      
assist the diffusion and illustration of
 a science1 which no honorable and      
logical thinker1 after accepting its    
well-established facts1 can regard as   
anything less than the beginning of an  
intellectual revolution1 the magnitude  
of which is astounding to a conservative
 mind2 for the revolutionary science of 
the last forty years has been concealed 
from the conservative majority1 by its  
exclusion from the press and from the   
college4 ,but the ,journal of ,man has a
 still wider field1 a task in which it  
may well claim the co-operation of all  
truly enlightened and philanthropic     
minds4  ,it was the singular good       
fortune of the editor1 over forty-five  
years ago1 to crown his long            
investigations of the constitution of   
man by the discovery and demonstration  
that all the powers of the soul were    
exercised by the brain in a multiform   

subdivision of its structure1 every     
convolution and every group of fibres   
and cells having a function appreciably 
distinct from the functions of all      
neighboring parts1 the vast multiformity
 and intricacy of its structure         
corresponding to the vast multiformity  
and intricacy of our psychic nature1    
which has never yet been thoroughly     
portrayed by either philosopher or poet4
  ,the functions thus discovered are at 
once both psychic and physiological1 for
 the brain is purely a psychic organ1   
when its influence is not transmitted to
 the body2 but becomes a physiological  
organ1 and in fact the controlling head 
and centre of physiological action1 when
 its influence is transmitted1 not      
merely in voluntary motion1 but in the  
unconscious influence which sustains1   
modifies1 or depresses every vital      
process4  ,these discoveries were not   
entirely new1 for it was the fundamental
 doctrine of ,gall1 the founder of the  
true cerebral anatomy1 that the brain   

consisted of different organs of psychic
 functions2 but in announcing the       
discovery 7published from #ahji to      
#ahai7 of twenty-seven distinct organs1 
he fell far short of the ultimate truth1
 as a necessary consequence of his      
imperfect and difficult method of       
discovery by comparative development4   
,the word phrenology has become so      
identified with his incomplete          
discoveries1 that it may be laid aside  
in the present stage of our progress4   
,there is no monotonous repetition of   
function in nervous structures1 and the 
possibility of subdivision of structure 
and function is limited only by our own 
intellectual capacities4  ,moreover1    
,dr4 ,gall did not ascertain the        
functions of the basilar and internal   
regions of the brain1 which were beyond 
the reach of his methods1 and entirely  
overlooked the fact that the brain is   
the commanding centre of physiology1 the
 seat of the external and internal      
senses1 and of organs that control the  

circulation1 the viscera1 the           
secretions1 and all their physiological 
and pathological phenomena1 as          
demonstrated in my experiments1 which   
reveal the entire physiological and the 
entire psychological life1 with the     
anatomical apparatus of their intimate  
union4  ,the experiments on intelligent 
persons1 by which these discoveries were
 made and demonstrated1 have been       
repeated many thousand times4 ,they have
 been officially presented during many  
years in medical colleges1 and          
sanctioned by scientific faculties as   
well as by committees of investigation1 
none of which have ever made an         
unfavorable report4 ,they have been     
tested and demonstrated so often that   
further repetition appeared needless1   
since the unquestioned demonstrations   
produced no result beyond a passive     
assent2 for men's minds are generally so
 firmly held in the bondage of habit1   
fashion1 and inherited opinion1 as to be
 incapable of entering freely upon a new

 realm of intellectual life without     
pecuniary motive2 and investigating     
committees accomplished little or       
nothing important1 the reason having    
been1 as assigned by a distinguished and
 learned secretary of a medical         
committee in ,boston1 that the subject  
was too profound1 too difficult1 and too
 far beyond the knowledge of the medical
 profession4 ,in the presence of such   
unmanly apathy my demonstrations were   
discontinued1 as ,i found that only a   
few high-toned and fearless seekers of  
scientific truth1 such as the venerable 
,prof4 ,caldwell1 ,president ,wylie1    
,rev4 ,john ,pierpont1 ,robert ,dale    
,owen1 ,prof4 ,gatchell1 ,dr4 ,forry1   
and a score or two of similarly         
independent men and women1 have spoken  
to the public with proper emphasis of   
the immortality of the discovery and the
 greatness of the total revolution that 
it makes in science and philosophy1--a  
revolution so vast as to require many   
pages to give its mere outline1 and     

several volumes to give its concise     
presentation4 ,the subjects of these    
volumes would necessarily be ,cerebral  
,psychology1 ,cerebral ,physiology1     
,psychological ,ethics or ,religion1    
,pneumatology1 ,psychic ,pathology1     
,sarcognomy1 ,psychometry1 ,education1  
and ,pathognomy4 ,a very concise epitome
 of the whole subject in #djj pages was 
published in #ahed1 as a ,system of     
,anthropology4 ,the ,new ,education was 
published in #ahhb4 ,therapeutic        
,sarcognomy--the application of         
sarcognomy to medical practice--was     
published in #ahhd1 and the ,manual of  
,psychometry in #ahhe4  ,the discoveries
 constituting the new anthropology stand
 unimpeached to-day1 sustained by every 
complete investigation1 and not refuted 
or contradicted by the innumerable      
experiments of medical scientists4 ,the 
labors of ,ferrier1 ,fritsch1 ,hitzig   
and ,charcot1 become a part of the new  
system1 as they lend corroboration2 and 
the annals of pathology furnish numerous

 corroborative facts4 ,these are not    
barren1 abstract sciences1 but bear upon
 all departments of human life--upon    
education1 medical practice1 hygiene1   
the study of character1 the selection of
 public officers1 of partners1 friends1 
and conjugal companions1--upon religion 
and morals1 the administration of       
justice and government1 penal and       
reformatory law1 the exploration of     
antiquity1 the philosophy of art and    
eloquence1 and the cultivation of all   
sciences except the mathematical4       
,anthropology must1 therefore1 become   
the guide and guardian of humanity1 and1
 as such1 will be illustrated by the    
,journal of ,man4 ,it will indulge in no
 rash ultraism or antagonism1 but will  
kindly appreciate truth even when       
mingled with error4 ,there is1 to-day1 a
 vast amount of established science to  
be respected and preserved1 as well as a
 vast amount of rubbish in metaphysical1
 theological1 sociological1 and         
educational opinions1 that requires to  

be buried in the grave of the obsolete4 
,the greatness of our themes forbids    
their illustration in a prospectus1     
which can but promise an unfailing      
supply of the novel and wonderful1 the  
philanthropic and important1 the        
interesting and useful1 presented in    
that spirit of love and hope which sees 
that earth may be changed into the      
likeness of heaven1 and that such       
progress is a part of our world's remote
 but inevitable destiny4  ,let it be    
remembered that science1 philosophy1 and
 religion are false and worthless when  
they do not contribute to the happiness 
and elevation of mankind1 and that the  
chief factor in human elevation is that 
wise adaptation of measures to human    
nature which is utterly impossible      
without a thorough understanding of     
man1--in other words1 without the       
science of anthropology1 for the lack of
 which all national and individual life 
has been filled with a succession of    
blunders and calamities4 ,it is         

especially in the most brilliant portion
 of anthropology1 the science of        
psychometry1 that we shall find access  
to the reconstructive wisdom which leads
 to a nobler life in accordance with the
 laws of heaven1 as well as the         
prosperity and success which come from  
the fulness of practical science and the
 perfection of social order4 ,for the

reader6 ,let me presume that you are in 
search of truth1 and that you have an   
intuition sufficient to tell you that   
this unending search is the inspiring   
energy of the ,,journal ,,of ,,man ,let 
us realize the vastness of truth1 the   
vastness of those realms of knowledge   
heretofore unexplored by man1 in which  
the ,,journal is to perform its work1   
and in realizing that1 it will be very  
obvious that no single number of the    
,,journal can be an adequate specimen to
 give a just conception of what it is to
 be1 how many hundred themes it will    
have to consider1 how many errors to    
analyze1 how many new suggestions to    
introduce1 how many criticisms of the   
old1 how many expositions of the new4   
,the present number of the ,,journal is 
little more than a promissory note for  

its future4  ,even as a commentary on   
periodical literature1 there will be a  
countless number of the superficial     
theories of ignorance and haste for it  
to examine1 while there will be the more
 pleasing task of noting the            
introduction of sound philosophy1 the   
progress of careful investigation1 the  
uprising of common sense against        
hereditary falsehood1 and the gradual   
enlightenment of the clerical1 medical1 
and educational professions by the slow 
progress of new ideas1 and the          
unembarrassed progress of the physical  
sciences and inventions which encounter 
no collegiate hindrance1 excepting this1
 that the average liberal education1 as 
it is called1 gives so little knowledge 
of physical science1 that the educated  
classes often fail to distinguish       
between the real inventor and the       
deluded1 or delusive1 impostor4  ,the   
inventor is the emancipator of mankind  
from the oppressive burden of toil1 and 
hence the philanthropist should ever    

look with interest to the progress of   
invention1 should ever be ready to      
cooperate with inventive genius4 ,the   
,,journal should be the inventor's      
friend1 and it hopes to see the time    
when the national institution that ,i   
have proposed shall be established1 to  
bring blind1 but all powerful1 capital  
into co-operation with the wise1 but    
often powerless1 inventor4  ,invention  
is the physical1 as philosophy is the   
intellectual power1 to complete the     
emancipation of mankind from slavery and
 suffering4 ,no1 would the theologian   
say1 your false philosophy ends in      
nothing4 ,the world has been full of    
philosophies from ,democritus to ,hegel1
 and they have never lifted a single    
straw's weight from the burden that     
oppresses all humanity4 ,the real burden
 is sin1 and religion alone can remove  
that1 and bring in the kingdom of heaven
 on earth4  ,most true1 ,oh theologian1 
it is1 that the false philosophies1 from
 ,democritus to ,hegel1 have done       

nothing for mankind but to becloud1     
bewilder1 and enfeeble their            
intelligence1 for the philosophies were 
born of empty vanity1 which essayed to  
conquer the universe by cogitation      
without science1 and not from any loving
 impulse to make life wiser and better4 
,but your theologies have been almost as
 false as the philosophies4 ,you have   
inverted the simple and pure religion of
 ,jesus4 ,you have taught the world that
 its governing power was not an infinite
 love1 but an infinite hate1 and that   
the chief purpose of creation was to    
furnish an unlimited amount of human    
agony1 in eternal progress1 to gratify  
the infinite tyrant1 and1 at the same   
time1 please a few humble vassals whom  
terror alone had driven into his        
service4 ,you have taught mankind1 all  
too successfully1 to imitate this       
superhuman monster1 by the banishment1  
imprisonment1 murder1 or torture1 of all
 who did not accept your insane and     
heartless teachings2 and the bloody     

drama1 which has been in full progress  
for at least fifteen centuries without  
one interval of pity or remorse1 is     
coming to its end now1 ,oh theologians1 
simply because your power has waned1 and
 mankind have partially outgrown their  
superstitious ignorance4 ,tennyson in   
his last poem has expressed the truth3  
',love your enemy1 bless your haters1'  
said the ,greatest of the great1        
,christian love among the churches      
looked the twin of heathen hate4   ,from
 the golden alms of blessing1 man had   
coined himself a curse2   ,rome of      
,caesar1 ,rome of ,peter1--which was    
crueler1 which was worse8  ,you are     
beginning1 ,oh theologians1 to be       
ashamed of the history of your tribe1   
and to doubt in your own hearts the     
horrid creeds you are still teaching2   
and a few have even thrown them off     
entirely and joined in the movement of  
emancipation1--even ,andover is uneasy  
beneath its old yoke4 ,but the chief    
problem of progress is still to get rid 

of your creeds1 and return to that      
simple1 universal religion1 of which    
,jesus was the most powerful teacher1--a
 religion that had no church1 no creed1 
no intolerance1 and which dealt only in 
that universal love to which all human  
souls respond when they receive it4     
,yet never has this simple religion of  
,jesus appeared1 nor any effort towards 
its imperfect realization1 without      
provoking orthodox hostility2 and never 
has science taken one bold step in      
advance to understand the ,bible of     
creation1 or the ,divine wisdom embodied
 in the constitution of man1 without    
finding all orthodox power arrayed      
against each step of progress1 and your 
orthodox anathemas ready for each       
fearless seeker of the truth4  ,never   
had astronomy1 never had geology1 never 
had phrenology1 never had anthropology1 
one smile from the organized theological
 guardians of the ancient falsehood     
called orthodoxy4 ,neither had political
 liberty any better treatment than      

mental liberty4 ,neither the white man1 
the red man1 nor the black man found    
friendship or protection until very     
recently in any orthodox church1 for the
 church was invariably the ally of the  
despot4 ,witness all ,european history1 
witness the history of ,mexico and      
,south ,america1--witness the history of
 the ,united ,states1--witness the      
present condition of ,europe1 groaning  
under the mountain load of taxation to  
pay war debts1 to sustain the cannon    
foundries1 forts1 ships1 barracks1 and1 
in a word1 the armament of hell1 for it 
is but a grand1 prearranged plan for    
further homicide and devastation2 and   
all--all1 alas6 established and         
sustained by a government inspired by   
the church1 which falsely claims to     
represent the principles of ,christ in  
its terribly apostate career6  ,with a  
loathing and horror that words cannot   
express ,i turn from this scene--in     
which1 though latent at this moment1    
there lie all the horrors of the ,roman 

amphitheatre1 and wars of the legions of
 ,scipio1 ,marius1 ,tiberius1 ,caesar1  
,nero1 ,severus1 ,decius1 ,valerianus1  
of ,alaric1 ,attila1 and ,genghis       
,khan--to the dawn of liberty1 peace1   
and enlightenment on the ,american      
continent1 where1 though old forms and  
institutions may survive1 their interior
 nature or life is changed1--where the  
apostate church is slowly relinquishing 
its apostacy and growing into harmony   
with modern liberty and progress4  ,the 
time is coming1 ,i trust1 when          
,christian churches in the ,united      
,states shall return to follow the      
sublime examples of the founders of     
,christianity2 shall practise and       
diffuse that spirit of love in which is 
all freedom1 all toleration and         
co-operation2 shall welcome science and 
philosophy1 and become the centre of all
 cooperative efforts for human          
amelioration4  ,the ameliorations of the
 last hundred years are so great that we
 may well anticipate still greater      

changes in the coming century2 for1 as  
,whittier says3    ,still the new       
transcends the old1   ,in signs and     
tokens manifold4  ,it is reasonable to  
anticipate this change1 because the old 
battle between religion and science1    
which placed each in a false position1  
must come to an end4 ,the battle is     
still in progress1--there is still an   
antagonism2 and scientists will object  
to the ,,journal ,,of ,,man because its 
science is associated with religion2    
while theologians will object to its    
religion because based on science2 but  
the contest now proceeds with           
diminishing rancor1 and there have been 
minor reconciliations or truces between 
scientists and theologians4 ,but finally
 the grand reconciliation must come from
 this1 that when science advances into  
the psychic realm1--when it demonstrates
 the existence of the soul1 and         
demonstrates that heaven is not a morbid
 dream but a splendid reality1--the     
religious sentiment will recognize such 

science as its friend2 and when science 
goes farther1 and interprets the ,divine
 laws as written by omnipotent wisdom in
 the constitution of man1 more plainly  
and far more fully than they have ever  
been expressed in religious writings1   
then will religion perceive that such   
science is the ,divine messenger before 
whom it should bow in reverence1 and    
whose every utterance should be held    
sacred4  ,it is thus the mission of     
anthropology to enlighten religion1 to  
interpret the ,divine law1 and to reign 
in the kingdom of heaven1 to which it is
 to lead us2 and it is the mission of   
the ,,journal ,,of ,,man to present and 
keep before the enlightened few the     
guiding wisdom of anthropology4         
,,the ,,phrenological ,,doctrines ,,of  
,,dr4 ,,gall4  ,,their ,,past ,,and     
,,present ,,status4   ,science ought to 
emancipate mankind from the control of  
the animal instincts1 and in the purely 
physical and mathematical sciences it   
does4 ,in mathematics1 dynamics1 optics1

 acoustics1 astronomy1 electricity1     
engineering1 and mechanics1 the dictates
 of pure intellect are seldom interfered
 with by any blind impulse1 attraction1 
or prejudice4 ,but it is very different 
in the realm of opinion--in matters in  
which reason should be supreme1 with as 
absolute authority as number and form   
have in mathematics4  ,a thousand can   
measure and calculate1 and can obey     
implicitly in thought the mathematical  
laws1 for one that can reason and obey  
implicitly the dictates of pure reason4 
,if an error is made in the construction
 of a bridge1 erection of a house1 or   
financial report of a bank1 thousands   
may at once detect the error1 and by    
clear exposition compel its recognition4
 ,but in matters of opinion controlled  
by reason1 there is no such ready       
detection and recognition of error1 even
 by the best educated classes4 ,the     
realm of opinion is ever in chaos4      
,contradictory opinions are ever        
clashing2 no supreme arbiter is known2  

no law of reason1 like the laws of      
mathematics1 comes in to dissipate error
 and delusion4  ,why is this8           
,anthropology replies that reason is as 
positive1 clear1 and imperative as      
mathematical principles1 but that men   
have not been educated to exercise and  
to obey the faculty of reason1 as they  
have been to measure and to count4 ,in  
matters of opinion1 feeling and impulse 
are allowed to dominate over reason1 and
 to hug the delusions which reason would
 dispel4 ,we have no educational system1
 no college1 in which the art of        
reasoning is properly taught1 although  
the shallow pedantry of ,aristotelian   
logic has assumed to teach the art of   
reasoning4 ,the faculties themselves of 
our colleges do not understand or       
practice the true art of reasoning1 for 
if they did1 they would harmonize in    
opinion as mathematicians harmonize in  
calculations1 and would lead the onward 
march of mind continually1 making or    
accepting discoveries of the highest    

importance1 instead of standing1 as they
 do1 impregnable castles of ancient     
error in matters of opinion1 though     
moderately progressive in physical      
science4  ,it is for these reasons that 
popular opinions and opinions of        
universities are of little value4       
,everything else but reason dominates   
them4 ,the gift of a founder1 the decree
 of a king1 parliament1 or pope1 the    
decision of some ancient conclave of the
 superstitious and ignorant1 or the     
imperious will of some interested body  
of lords1 plutocrats1 monks1 or         
political usurpers1 establishes the     
mould in which opinions are cast2 and   
the soft brains of inexperienced and    
unreflective youth are easily compressed
 into the form of the established mould1
 and from that deformed condition they  
seldom or never entirely recover true   
symmetry4 ,never taught to reason deeply
 or accurately1 they yield to the       
sympathetic mesmeric control of social  
opinions and impulses1 without looking  

to their origin1 ,hence the lamentable  
fact that in matters of opinion or      
philosophy1 as in social amusements and 
fashions1 the animal instinct of        
gregariousness rules1 and men move in   
masses like herds of sheep or buffaloes4
  ,these considerations prepare us to   
appreciate justly the value of former   
and contemporary opinions in reference  
to the science of the brain4  ,the      
mystery that surrounded its anatomy was 
dispelled by ,dr4 ,gall1 and modern     
scientists have been building upon the  
foundation laid by him4 ,it is not      
necessary now to dwell upon his         
protracted and careful study of the     
comparative development of the brain in 
men and animals4 ,suffice it to say no  
naturalist was ever more diligent1      
fearless1 and successful1 in the study  
of nature2 and the conclusive evidence  
of his success is the fact that no      
student of nature who travelled after   
his footsteps has failed to see what he 
saw1 and recognize ,gall as a grand1    

original teacher4  ,why is it1 then1    
that the reputation of ,gall and his    
discoveries of mental organs in the     
brain has been so fluctuating8 ,why have
 the discoveries that came forward with 
so imposing a prestige at the beginning 
of this century so entirely lost that   
prestige in the colleges in sixty years1
 that the writings of ,gall and his     
disciples are generally neglected8      
,vague1 unscientific speculations have  
taken their place2 the colleges and     
literati are groping in darkness1 and1  
like plants in a cellar which reach out 
to the dim windows1 they look anxiously 
for the information that may come from  
laboratories and anatomical halls1 where
 animals by thousands are tortured to   
find the sources of physical functions1 
forgetful of the fact that the human    
brain is a psychic organ1 and that a    
whole century of such investigations    
would leave the grand problems of       
conscious life and character in primeval
 darkness6  ,have they no respect for   

the labors and honorable observations of
 clear-headed scientists fifty to eighty
 years ago8 ,were the anatomists ,reil  
and ,loder deceived when they testified 
to ,gall's wonderful discoveries in     
anatomy8 ,were ,andral1 ,broussais1     
,corvsart1 and others1 who stood at the 
head of the medical profession in       
,france1 deceived when they were        
followers of ,gall8 ,was ,dr4 ,vimont   
deceived when the study of the animal   
kingdom converted him from an opponent  
to a supporter of ,gall8 ,were          
,elliotson and ,solly of ,london1 the   
,combes of ,scotland1 ,macartney of     
,ireland1 and a full score of others in 
the highest ranks of medical science    
deceived in giving their testimony that 
the anatomy of the brain1 its           
development in the healthy1 its amply   
recorded pathology1 revealed in         
hospitals1 and its phenomena in the     
insane asylums and prisons1 supported   
the doctrines of ,gall8  ,they were not 
deceived1 and they were not blind4 ,they

 were observers4 ,their successors1     
sinking into the agnosticism of         
pseudoscience1 have thus sunk because   
they have abandoned the methods of      
science to adopt the methods of ignorant
 partisanship4 ,they have not studied   
the comparative development of the brain
 in connection with character1 and      
therefore they know little or nothing of
 it4 ,they are not competent as         
observers of development1 because they  
have never attempted to become          
acquainted with it4 ,even so eminent a  
writer as the late ,prof4 ,w4 ,b4       
,carpenter shows by his writings1 which 
are a monument of laborious erudition1  
that he did not understand so simple a  
matter as the external form of the      
cranium belonging to the development of 
the cerebellum4  ,cranioscopy1 the study
 of the brain and its proportional      
development through the cranium1 which  
is the method by which ,gall made his   
discoveries1 is a lost art in the       
medical profession1 and ,i doubt if     

there is a single professor in any      
,american or ,european medical college  
to-day1 who has a competent knowledge of
 it4 ,the art of cranioscopy requires as
 its basis a correct knowledge of the   
anatomy of the brain and skull1 a       
correct knowledge of the localities of  
all the cerebral organs1 and a practical
 skill in determining their development 
with accuracy4 ,a variation of one      
eighth of an inch in development will   
change the destiny of the individual1   
and incorrect conceptions of the growth 
of the brain and the natural            
irregularities of the cranium would     
vitiate the conclusions of the          
observers4 ,a somewhat famous but       
unscientific practitioner of phrenology 
gave a good illustration of this by     
mistaking a rugged development of the   
lambdoid suture for an enormous organ of
 combativeness1 and ascribing to the    
gentleman a terrific1 pugnacious energy 
which was the very opposite of his true 
character4  ,the sciolism of popular    

phrenology1 scantily supplied with      
anatomical knowledge1 and but little    
better supplied with clear psychic      
conceptions1 is incapable of commending 
the science to the esteem of critical   
observers1 and of course incapable of   
sustaining its reputation against the   
overwhelming opposition of medical      
colleges4 ,thus rejected or at least    
neglected in the universities1 which    
supply its place with worthless         
metaphysics1 and unsustained before the 
public1--for the tone of literature is  
controlled by the universities1--it is  
not strange that the grand discoveries  
of ,gall are neglected as they are      
to-day4  ,the objections to ,gall's     
discoveries which have been considered  
sufficient1 have generally been the     
offspring of ignorance and superficial  
thinking4 ,thousands of physicians have 
been misled by professors of anatomy    
thoroughly ignorant of the subject1 who 
have shown to their own ignorant        
satisfaction how impossible it was to   

judge of the development of the brain   
through the skull4 ,the attacks upon    
phrenology have been generally          
remarkable for their logical feebleness4
 ,any one well acquainted with the      
science and the phenomena in nature1    
could have made a much more effective   
attack1--an attack which would have     
appeared entirely unanswerable2 but no  
such attack has been made4  ,there has  
been1 however1 one valid objection to   
the discoveries of ,gall1 which has done
 much to discredit the whole system4 ,he
 ascribed to the entire cerebellum the  
sexual function alone1 in doing which he
 disregarded the facts developed by     
vivisection4 ,ample observation has     
shown his error4 ,the cerebellum is the 
physiological as the cerebrum is the    
psychic brain1 and a defined central    
portion of the cerebellum at the median 
line does exercise1 in connection with  
the summit of the spinal cord1 the      
sexual functions4 ,this has been fully  
established by pathology1 as well as by 

my own experiments4 ,in this matter     
,gall is certainly entitled to the      
credit of approximating the truth1 the  
function being located within the       
territory assigned it4  ,the fundamental
 doctrine1 however1 which ,gall has the 
immortal honor of establishing1 is that 
the cerebrum is not a homogeneous       
unitary organ1 but a mass of distinct   
organs1 as distinct as the sensitive and
 motor columns of the spinal cord1 and  
exercising different mental functions4  
,whatever errors of detail he may have  
fallen into cannot obscure the glory of 
the pioneer in the anatomy and          
psychology of the brain4 ,his anatomical
 doctrines have stood the test of time2 
they are established2 and his psychic   
doctrines are as near an approach to    
absolute truth as ever was made by a    
pioneer in a wilderness of mystery4     
,gall himself1 with the just            
self-respect which belongs to a sincere 
and fearless seeker of scientific truth1
 expressed his attitude as follows1 at  

the close of the sixth volume of his    
works3--  ,these views of the qualities 
and faculties of man are not the fruit  
of subtile reasonings4 ,they bear not   
the impress of the age in which they    
originate1 and will not wear out with   
it4 ,they are the result of numberless  
observations1 and will be immutable and 
eternal like the facts that have been   
observed1 and the fundamental powers    
which those facts force us to admit4    
,they are not only founded on principles
 deduced from individual facts1 but are 
confirmed by each individual fact in    
particular1 and will forever come off   
triumphant from every test to which they
 may be submitted1 whether of analysis  
or synthesis4 ,if the reasonings of     
metaphysicians are ever discarded1 this 
philosophy of the human qualities and   
faculties will be the foundation of all 
philosophy in time to come4  ,these are 
the words of a grand-souled philosopher1
 who knew that he was speaking the      
truth1 and forcing1 as if at the point  

of the bayonet1 a great1 new truth upon 
the stolidity of the colleges4 ,the     
simple truth of fibrous structure in the
 brain1 now known to every tyro in      
anatomy1 was contested in the days of   
,gall and ,spurzheim1 and had to be     
enforced by public dissection in an     
,edinburgh amphitheatre4 ,with the same 
unreasoning stolidity the doctrine of   
the multiplicity of organs in the brain 
was shunned1 evaded1 or denied1 though  
it would seem idiotic for any           
physiologist to assume such a position  
7by suppressing his own common sense7   
when the aim of all modern              
investigations of the brain is to       
discover different functions in         
different parts4  ,the great doctrine of
 the multiplicity of cerebral organs1   
introduced by ,gall1 could not be       
suppressed or ignored among those who   
investigate the brain in any manner4    
,all modern investigators tacitly       
recognize it1 for none could so stultify
 themselves as to assume the brain to be

 a homogeneous unit in either structure 
or functions1 while seeking to discover 
the peculiar functions of each part4    
,thus his fundamental ideas are adopted 
by his opponents1 and step by step they 
will be compelled to admit his general  
correctness1 and his grand services as  
the pioneer in the highest department of
 science1 the most prolific in important
 results to mankind4 ,every honest and  
erudite anatomist1 says ,sir ,samuel    
,solly in his standard work on the      
anatomy of the brain1 must acknowledge  
that we are indebted mainly to ,gall and
 ,spurzheim for the improvements which  
have been made in our mode of studying  
the brain4 ,for my own part1 ,i most    
cheerfully acknowledge that the interest
 which ,i derived from the lectures of  
,dr4 ,spurzheim at ,st4 ,thomas'        
,hospital about the years #ahbb and     
#ahbc1 has been the inciting cause of   
all the labor which for above twenty    
years ,i have at intervals devoted to   
this subject4  ,the organ of language1  

his first discovery1 located at the     
junction of the front and middle lobes1 
has been the first to receive the       
general recognition of the medical      
profession1 because it is easy to       
recognize its failures in disease1 and  
the morbid condition of its organ4  ,its
 general recognition by physiologists   
now is not usually accompanied by any   
reference to ,gall as its discoverer4   
,they are probably not aware that he    
located it correctly1 because he        
referred so much to its external sign in
 the prominence of the eyes4 ,this      
prominence of the eyes indicates        
development of the brain at the back of 
their sockets4 ,the external marking of 
organs is to indicate where they lie and
 in what direction their development    
produces exterior projection4 ,the      
junction of the front and middle lobes1 
including the so-called island of ,reil 
7who was a pupil of ,gall1 and spoke of 
him as the most wonderful of            
anatomists71 has its most direct        

external indication at the outer angle  
of the eye4 ,that is the location which 
has been given the organ by my          
experiments1 which were made without    
reference to anatomy1 without even a    
thought of it1 for ,i consider such     
experiments the supreme authority in    
physiology1 and do not stop to inquire  
whether any previous knowledge supports 
them or not4  ,dr4 ,gall had the true   
idea1 for although he spoke of the      
general prominence of the eye as the    
indication1 he also recognized the      
development as extending in the         
direction in which ,i have located it4  
,he regarded the organ of language as a 
convolution lying on the super-orbital  
plate1 behind the position of the       
eyeball4 ,this convolution is           
comparatively defective in animals      
generally1 but more developed in birds  
of superior vocal powers4 ,in addition  
to this1 he observed the growth         
extending into the temples1 where the   
front and middle lobes unite4 ,a great  

diameter in this direction1 he says1 is 
always a favorable augury for the memory
 of words4 ,i have seen persons who with
 an ordinary conformation of the eyes   
yet learned by heart with great         
facility4 ,but in these cases the       
diameter from one temple to the other is
 ordinarily very considerable1 and      
sometimes even the inferior part of the 
temples is projecting1 which attests a  
great development of the adjacent       
cerebral parts4  ,thus it is evident    
that he recognized the structure behind 
the external angle of the eye as an     
important part of the organ of language4
  ,the interior portion of the          
convolution is the more intellectual    
portion of the organ1 while the exterior
 portion is that which holds the closest
 relation to the fibres of the corpora  
striata in the middle lobe1 and may     
therefore most properly be called the   
organ of language or of speech1 the     
impairment of which produces aphasia1 or
 loss of speech4 ,this is the form which

 has chiefly attracted the attention of 
the medical profession1 as it very often
 accompanies paralytic affections from  
disease of the corpora striata4         
,evidently ,gall arrived at the correct 
location1 and he illustrates the        
discovery by referring to a great number
 of authors and scientists whose        
development he observed4 ,his most      
decisive fact is the case of a patient  
who lost the memory of names entirely1  
but not the power of speech1 by a thrust
 from a foil1 which penetrated through  
the face1 the posterior inner part of   
the front lobe1 at its junction with the
 middle lobe1 thus wounding the internal
 part of the organ of language1 but not 
reaching the outer posterior part1 at   
the island of ,reil1 to which           
pathologists have given their chief     
attention4  ,evidently ,gall had the    
correct idea1 and should have been duly 
credited by the pathologists who have   
verified his discovery4  ,in verifying  
this discovery by excitement of the     

organs1 ,i find the centre of language  
behind the external angle of the eye1 on
 each side of which1 toward the nose and
 toward the temples1 are analogous      
functions which might1 if we did not    
analyze closely1 be included with it1 as
 portions of the organ of language4     
,the discoveries of ,gall1 though no    
longer sustained by colleges or         
phrenological societies1 have never lost
 their hold upon the students who follow
 his teachings and study nature4 ,a few 
phrenological writers and lecturers     
maintain the interest among those they  
reach1 but our standard literature      
generally ignores the doctrines1 and    
forgets the name of ,gall4 ,yet the     
eclipse is not total4 ,it will pass away
 as this century ends1 and the fame of  
the great pioneer in science will be    
immortal1 for it rests not on any wave  
of eighteenth century opinion1 but is   
based on that which is immutable and    
eternal4  ,yet so thoroughly has the    
present generation of physicians been   

misled by the colleges into ignorance of
 the labors of ,gall1 that although they
 know the location of the faculty of    
language is now beyond doubt1 they do   
not think of the discoverer or          
understand his discoveries1 but vaguely 
suppose that ,ferrier1 ,jackson1        
,fritsch1 ,hitzig1 and others have      
entirely superseded ,gall by their      
inferences from experiments on the      
brains of animals4 ,in this how greatly 
are they deceived6 ,all that modern     
vivisectors have done has utterly failed
 to disturb the cerebral science derived
 from cranial observation by ,gall and  
myself1 and from direct experiment by   
myself4 ,on the contrary1 the immense   
labor of their researches serves only to
 add new illustrations and facts        
corroborating and co-operating with what
 was previously ascertained1 as will be 
fully shown when ,cerebral ,psychology  
shall be published4  ,it was once       
supposed that the intellectual functions
 of the front lobe were entirely refuted

 by discoveries which proved the front  
lobe the source of muscular impulses4   
,more thorough experimenting dissipated 
this illusion4 ,ferrier reported that   
after a partial ablation of the front   
lobes in intelligent monkeys1 instead   
of1 as before1 being actively interested
 in their surroundings and curiously    
prying into all that came within the    
field of their observation1 they        
remained apathetic or dull1 or dozed off
 to sleep1 responding only to the       
sensations or impressions of the moment1
 or varying their listlessness with     
restless and purposeless wanderings to  
and fro4 ,they had lost to all          
appearance the faculty of attentive and 
intelligent observation4 ,this is       
precisely what the true cerebral        
psychology indicates4 ,the imaginary    
muscular powers were not at all         
detected1 for the section of the front  
lobe had no influence on the muscular   
system4  ,the science of ,gall was a    
science of facts relevant to great      

principles4 ,the science of his         
opponents was a science of irrelevant   
facts1 revealing no philosophy4         
,students of nature adhered to ,gall2   
students of books and adherents of      
authority neglected him4 ,of this there 
is no better illustration than the great
 collection of ,de ,ville in ,london1 of
 which the following account is given in
 the admirable treatise on phrenology   
7of #fcg pages7 by ,dr4 ,james ,p4      
,browne of ,edinburgh4  ,how wide and   
various are the channels through which  
the phrenologist derives his facts4 ,in 
society1 whichever way he turns1 they   
are constantly being presented for his  
contemplation4 ,besides there is not a  
city or town of any note that does not  
contain a collection of authentic casts 
of well-known persons2 and up to the    
year #ahec1 the gallery of ,mr4 ,de     
,ville1 in ,london1 contained the       
largest and most valuable phrenological 
collection in the world of casts and    
skulls of men and women remarkable for  

the greatness of their talents1 or the  
peculiarities of their dispositions2    
including above three hundred busts1    
both antique and modern1 of the most    
renowned men the world has ever seen4   
,the whole number amounted at least to  
three thousand4 ,about two thousand     
skulls of animals of every denomination 
were also to be found there4 ,there     
could be seen the form of head which    
accompanied the poetical instincts and  
high moral aspirations of the poor      
peasant boy1 ,john ,clare2 and how      
strikingly dissimilar it was in its most
 marked characteristics to the head of  
,george ,stevenson1 one of the most     
original of mechanical geniuses4 ,both  
were self-taught1 but one was intensely 
active1 the other cogitative4 ,the mind 
of ,clare was constantly engaged in     
poetical musings upon the moral         
affections1 their pains and their       
pleasures2 that of ,stevenson was drawn 
by an inherent impulse to physical      
objects1 and perseveringly devoted to   

the discovery of such mechanical        
combinations of them as might be of     
lasting benefit to society4 ,there might
 be pointed out the cause of the        
difference of style which characterized 
the oratory of ,mansfield and ,erskine1 
of ,canning and of ,brougham3 and that  
which constituted the elements of mind  
and their combinations1 which raised    
,edmund ,burke1 as a prescient          
statesman1 to a height such as neither  
,pitt1 nor ,fox1 nor even ,chatham was  
capable of reaching4 ,there might be    
seen in ,banks's fine bust of him1 the  
cause why ,warren ,hastings1 though he  
was endowed with many good qualities    
which endeared him to his friends1 was1 
nevertheless1 covetous1 self-willed1    
domineering1 unjust1 and1 in some       
instances1 pitiless1 as                 
,governor-,general of ,india4 ,what a   
contrast to this did the bust of the    
,marquis of ,wellesley1 by ,nollekens1  
present4 ,not only did it indicate that 
the disposition of that distinguished   

statesman was unimbued with the         
slightest tincture of hypocrisy1        
avarice1 or the love of self-willed     
domination1 but1 on the contrary1 it was
 phrenologically symbolic of an         
instinctive carelessness in regard to   
his own pecuniary interests1 a          
disposition which in his case1 perhaps1 
amounted to a fault1 and which his      
intellect1 capacious of great things1   
and comparatively heedless of whatever  
is little1 was ill-calculated to        
redress4 ,there might be seen in ,behnes
 ,burlowe's bust of ,macintosh          
indications of the vastness of his      
intellect1 and the unobtrusive          
gentleness of his disposition2 whilst   
,chantrey's exquisite bust of ,lord     
,castlereagh afforded marked indications
 of his having been endowed with courage
 the most heroic1 unalloyed by the      
slightest tinge of complexional fear1   
and with an intellect well balanced1    
devising1 and industrious1 but certainly
 narrow in its range as compared with   

that of ,sir4 ,j4 ,macintosh4 ,there1   
too1 might be seen the true physical    
indications of the imperturbable        
coolness of ,castlereagh1 and of the    
sensitiveness and warm susceptibility of
 ,canning4  ,amongst the skulls of birds
 how readily could the practised        
observer distinguish the skull of the   
tuneful1 melodious canary from that of  
the chirping1 inharmonious sparrow4 ,nor
 could he fail to mark the constant     
difference between the form of the head 
of a song thrush and that of the        
jackdaw2 or to discern how the cuckoo's 
head is hollow where the organ of the   
love of offspring is located1 whilst the
 same part presents a striking          
protuberance in the partridge4 ,in the  
dolphin1 the porpoise1 the seal1 and    
many other animals1 the male could there
 be distinguished from the female by the
 form of the back part of the skull1    
where the same organ lies4 ,nor could   
any one fail to mark the form of head   
that is the invariable1 and evidently   

indispensable1 concomitant of the       
ferocious and sanguinary temper of the  
tiger1 as well as the strong contrast   
which it presents to the skull of the   
wild but gentle gazelle4 ,how superior  
also the elevated brain of the poodle   
dog1 when compared with that of the     
indocile1 snarling cur6 ,thus in animals
 of the same species the most marked    
disparity of form is easily discernible1
 on comparing the skulls of such as are 
docile and gentle1 with those of the    
dull and intractable4 ,the elevation of 
the one and the depression of the other 
are obvious4  ,in an ethnological point 
of view that collection was very        
valuable4 ,what a striking contrast was 
presented there by the rounded form of  
the skull of the fierce1 indomitable    
,american ,indian1 who is so averse to  
intercourse with strangers1 and the     
rather narrow1 elongated head of the    
indolent negro1 who is devoted to social
 enjoyments4 ,how wide was the          
difference between the head of the      

,sandwich ,islander or of the ,tahitian 
and that of the ,australian or the      
,tasmanian4 ,how much superior to either
 of them were the heads of the civilized
 ,incas of ,peru1 which had not been    
submitted to the distorting process of  
artificial compression4 ,neither could  
the wide disparity between the ,maori   
and the ,gentoo escape the notice of the
 most careless observer4 ,and how       
immeasurably inferior in form were they 
all to the noble head which is the issue
 of the mingling of the ,celtic1 ,saxon1
 and ,norman races 7imbued with an      
infusion of old ,roman1 blood71 such as 
it is found to be in these islands1 and 
in the ,united ,states4  ,perhaps it may
 not be considered out of place if ,i   
relate a circumstance of considerable   
interest to those who make it a point to
 make strict inquiry as to the amount of
 knowledge which certain races are      
capable of imbibing4  ,some twenty years
 ago and more1 when the great anatomist1
 ,tiedemann1 was in ,london1 he paid a  

visit to ,de ,ville's ,phrenological    
,museum4 ,i saw him as he entered the   
place4 ,he was erect and tall1 with an  
air somewhat stately1 yet perfectly     
unassuming4 ,his head was not so        
remarkable for great size as for its    
fine symmetry1 and the organs of the    
moral and intellectual portions of it   
were in a rare degree harmoniously      
blended4 ,it was the characteristic head
 of a curious1 indefatigable1           
conscientious inquirer into the arcana  
of physical things--one who was not     
given to indulge in unprofitable1       
visionary speculations4 ,his visit to   
,de ,ville being strictly private1 there
 was no opportunity afforded me of      
hearing his remarks4 ,but1 afterwards1  
it was told me by ,de ,ville himself1   
that ,tiedemann supposed 7and in this he
 resembled all other opponents of       
phrenology7 that because he had tested  
the capacity of a great many negro and  
,european skulls1 by filling them with  
millet seed1 and found that1 on an an   

average1 those of the ,africans were    
scarcely inferior in size to the skulls 
of ,europeans--that from that fact he   
thought it probable that the negro1 if  
placed in advantageous circumstances1   
ought to be capable of exhibiting powers
 of mind equal to the ,european4  ,but  
when the humble1 self-educated follower 
of ,gall demonstrated to this celebrated
 physiologist and anatomist that the    
forehead of the negro is usually much   
smaller than that of the ,european1 and 
that1 moreover1 its form1 with few      
exceptions1 is irregular and            
ill-balanced2 and when he showed that   
the size of the negro skull in the      
basilar portion1 where the organs of the
 affections 7which we possess in common 
with the lower animals7 lie1 was1 in    
proportion to the upper and anterior    
parts1 which are the seats of the moral 
and intellectual faculties1 larger in   
the negro than in the ,european--when   
,de ,ville showed1 by many instances1   
that this is always and infallibly the  

case 7with the exception of the heads of
 criminals71 ,tiedemann raised his hands
 and said1 ',the labor of years is now1 
,i clearly see1 of no use to me2 and ,i 
must destroy many valuable things       
bearing upon this theme4' ,thus1 by     
following the true mode of investigating
 this department of natural history1 was
 an uneducated man1 of good talents1    
enabled to correct a mistake in anatomy 
and physiology committed by one of the  
ablest anatomists that ,europe has given
 birth to4  ,for the long term of       
twenty-two years the writer of this     
treatise took every opportunity1        
afforded him by the kindness of its     
generous owner1 to study the contents of
 this rare collection2 and1 after having
 studied it with assiduous care1 he is  
bound to say that out of the hundred    
thousand facts which it contained1 not  
one could be pointed out that did not   
testify to the never-failing agreement  
of particular parts or organs of the    
brain1 with certain independent1        

elementary faculties1 according to the  
laws discovered by ,gall4  ,it is with  
the view of demonstrating the stability 
and unchangeableness of those laws that 
the composition of this treatise has    
been undertaken2 in order to excite in  
its regard such a degree of attention as
 will tend to awaken it from the state  
of inauspicious somnolency in which it  
has for some years lain prostrate4 ,but1
 strongly impressed with a conviction of
 the importance of the subject1 and     
fully alive to the difficulty of        
treating it1 the writer cannot help     
being crossed by fears for the success  
of this attempt4 ,relying1 however1 upon
 the solidity of the foundation upon    
which his subject rests1 and surveying  
the vast store of accumulated materials 
which have1 for more than thirty years1 
been constantly passing through his     
hands1 and the facts which are now      
strewn before him in whatever society he
 may be placed1 he would fain hope that 
even his humble abilities will enable   

him to make such a selection of         
incontrovertible facts as will place    
beyond a doubt the possibility of       
determining the innate talents and      
dispositions of any one by making a     
skilful survey of the head2 and1 should 
he succeed in merely raising a more     
general spirit of active inquiry in     
regard to the nature of the evidence    
adduced1 and the deductions drawn from  
it by phrenologists1 than at present    
exists1 he will have reaped a fair      
reward for his efforts1 for he has long 
been thoroughly convinced that a strict 
and faithful examination of the facts   
which bear upon the case is alone       
requisite for converting the incredulous
 scoffer into the zealous advocate4     
,having thus vindicated the claims of   
the great pioneer in philosophy1 our    
next issue will show the limitations of 
his discoveries1 and give an outline of 
the new and all-comprehensive

with very little hope that the doctrine 
presented would ever become in my own   
lifetime a basis of political action1   
since other ideas equally true and      
equally demonstrable have to bide their 
time4 ,but the toilers who suffer from  
the lack of employment have furnished an
 eager audience to the land reformers1  
and the great land question is destined 
to agitate the nations for a century to 
come4 ,the ,boston ,globe recently      
called attention to the original        
presentation of this subject at         
,cincinnati1 in the following           
editorial3--  ,there seems to be a      
notion prevalent that the ideas         
advocated by ,mr4 ,george are novel4    
,but they are not4 ,they once more      
illustrate the familiar fact that there 

is nothing new under the sun4 ,much the 
same doctrines were urged here in       
,america at least forty years ago1 and  
were the subject of comment in the      
papers of the day4  ,dr4 ,j4 ,r4        
,buchanan1 now of ,boston1 presented the
 case at ,cincinnati in #ahdg much as it
 is now put by ,mr4 ,george and ,mr4    
,davitt4 ,the ,memphis ,appeal of       
,september #bc of that year1 gave an    
elaborate review of ,dr4 ,buchanan's    
essay1 in which it said3      ',the     
,land and the ,people' is the title of a
 well-written     pamphlet from the pen 
of ,dr4 ,j4 ,r4 ,buchanan of            
,cincinnati1     formerly known to our  
citizens as an able and accomplished    
lecturer on the science of neurology4   
,it is quite plain from     the         
production in question that the doctor  
has not confined     himself to the     
study of the physiological system1 of   
which we     believe he is the author1  
but has evidently thought deeply        
upon other subjects vitally concerning  

the well being and     progress of      
society4 ,whatever may be thought of the
 positions     of this pamphlet1 we     
cannot deny to it the merit of great    
beauty of style and force of logic4 ,the
 whole argument is     based upon the   
proposition that the earth is the       
original gift     of ,god to man1 and as
 such belongs of right to the human race
     in general1 and not to the         
individuals of the race separately4     
,the author insists that the land is not
 the product of man's     labor any more
 than air1 sunshine1 or water1 and that 
originally this gift of ,god ought to   
have been left as free as     those     
lighter1 but indispensable elements must
 ever be1 from     their very nature4   
,the artificial and unnatural laws which
     have sprung up and become fastened 
upon society have thrown     immense    
obstacles in the way of the bare        
perception of this     great truth1 as  
the doctor deems it1 besides at the same
 time     interposing barriers almost   

insurmountable to its reception     and 
adoption into the framework of          
government4 ,it is insisted1            
however1 that these obstacles may be    
overcome1 and the rights     of the     
people restored to them1 without any    
injustice to the     present proprietors
 of land1 and without any convulsions in
     the great elements of society4     
,dr4 ,buchanan explained in his essay1  
as ,mr4 ,george does in his works now1  
that he did not mean to annul the       
existing titles to land4 ',far from it1'
 ,dr4 ,buchanan said4 ',such a scheme   
would be a miserable climax of folly and
 injustice1 fit only to render the great
 principle equally odious and           
ridiculous4' ,the doctor insisted that  
he proposed to 'maintain in legislation 
the broad principle that the nation owns
 the soil1 and that this ownership is   
paramount to all individual claims1' and
 from this fundamental proposition as a 
corner-stone the superstructure was to  
be built up4 ,the present proprietors of

 the soil were not to be disturbed in   
their possession1 and the government was
 not to interfere in the details of     
agriculture1 renting and leasing        
estates1 determining possession1 etc4   
,but the owners were to be considered as
 the tenants of the nation1 paying rent 
to it for the benefit of the people at  
large4 ,this rent was to be extremely   
small at first1 estimated upon the value
 of the soil alone1 without the         
improvements1 that being the original   
gift of nature1 free to all4 ,it was to 
be increased1 however1 in the course of 
two generations1 until a rent of about  
#e per cent should have been exacted    
from all the tenants of the nation--that
 is1 from all who occupied any portion  
of the soil4 ,the rent thus raised--a   
vast revenue--was to be applied to the  
establishment of free colleges1 free    
schools1 free libraries1 and other      
institutions calculated to improve and  
benefit the citizen4  ,this is the      
doctrine1 substantially1 as put forth at

 the present time by ,mr4 ,george1 and  
by so many persons supposed to be       
entirely new4 ,again we remark that     
'there is nothing new under the sun4'   
,this subject will be taken up hereafter
 in the ,,journal ,,of ,,man4 ,its      
progress as a policy will be noted1 its 
writers reviewed1 and the dictates of   
dispassionate science presented4 ,it is 
too late to intercept the folly and     
crime that have surrendered the rights  
of the people in the ,american          
continent1 but not too late to begin    
reclamation of our lost sovereignty4

land question in other countries as well
 as the ,united ,states4  ,in the near  
future this must be the burning question
 of politics and statesmanship1 as it is

 at present in ,great ,britain4 ,the    
agitations in ,ireland1 ,scotland1 and  
,wales have long been on the verge of   
bloody conflict1 and a ,land ,league has
 been formed in ,germany at ,berlin1 of 
which ,dr4 ,a4 ,theodor ,stamm is       
president1 having for its object the    
transfer of land ownership from         
individuals to the ,state4 ,a newspaper 
at ,berlin is devoted to its objects4   
,a few facts show how inevitable the    
conflict that is coming1 while the      
agricultural classes of all ,europe are 
being driven by ,american competition   
deeper and deeper into poverty and      
inability to pay rent1 which can never  
be again what it has been4 ,the ,new    
,york ,evening ,post very justly says3  
,the truth is1 we are witnessing in     
,ireland the gradual disappearance of   
rent4 ,the land is no longer able to    
support anybody but the actual          
cultivator4 ,to make this process       
peaceful1 and as far as possible        
harmless to all parties1 ought to be the

 chief concern of the ,government4      
,landlordism in ,great ,britain has     
small claims upon our sympathy1 for the 
great body of the land is held by titles
 which have no other basis than the     
robbery of old by military power4       
,according to ,john ,bright1 in ,england
 and ,wales one hundred persons own     
#d1jjj1jjj acres2 in ,scotland twelve   
persons own #d1cdf1jjj acres1 and       
seventy persons own the half of         
,scotland2 nine tenths of all the land  
in ,scotland belongs to #a1gjj persons1 
the rest of the population having only  
one tenth4 ,in ,ireland less than #hjj  
persons own half of all the land1 and   
#ccj persons own two thirds of all the  
land in ,scotland2 #djb members of the  
,house of ,lords hold #ad1bdj1iab acres1
 with a rental of #ef1hfe1fcg4  ,it is  
no wonder that the tenants of the ,duke 
of ,argyle have risen against the police
 that enforce the landlord's claims1 and
 that the ,welsh resistance against     
tithes has impoverished the ,welsh      

clergy4  ,the ,irish agitation has a    
just basis1 which was well stated by the
 ,boston ,herald as follows3--  ,the    
assertion has been frequently made that 
rents have increased more in ,england   
than in ,ireland2 but one of the ablest 
,english statisticians1 a man who can   
hardly be accused of partiality toward  
,ireland1 has recently pointed out that 
while in the forty years from #ahdb to  
#ahhb the rents in ,england increased on
 an average #ae percent1 the rents in   
,ireland in the same period increased on
 an average #bj per cent1 and this1 too1
 in a country where farming has been    
carried on on a low scale of culture1   
where the landlord has done practically 
nothing for his tenant1 and where the   
results of the harvest are more         
uncertain than in ,england4 ,it is the  
constant desire that the ,irish         
landlords have shown in the past to get 
the last pound of flesh and the last    
drop of blood out of their tenants that 
is the cause of the present detestation 

in which they are held by the latter4   
,in the ,united ,states the public      
domain has been criminally surrendered  
to monopoly4 ,commissioner ,sparks      
speaks in his reports of the widespread1
 persistent land robbery4 ,the fences of
 land robbers have been removed from    
#b1gjj1jjj acres1 and over #e1jjj1jjj   
will probably be redeemed4 ,in fifteen  
years1 #agi1jjj1jjj of acres have been  
given by ,congress to various railroad  
corporations1 a larger territory than   
the empire of ,germany4 ,before these   
wrongs were consummated1 nearly forty   
years ago1 ,i called a public meeting in
 the ,cincinnati court house1 which     
protested against this surrender of the 
people's domain4 ,the present agitation 
will probably bring it to an end4 ,in   
the ,congressional debates last ,june   
,mr4 ,eustis said the railroad men had  
made fortunes as mushrooms grow in the  
night2 a coterie of such men had        
enriched themselves at the expense of   
the people of the ,united ,states4 ,they

 did not observe equity1 honesty1 or    
good faith1 and only came here to assert
 their legal rights and to defy the     
authority and power of ,congress and the
 people of the ,united ,states to deal  
with them4 ,the great question to-day   
was whether the government was superior 
to the corporations1 or the corporations
 superior to the government4 ,the       
corporations had exhibited shameless and
 unpardonable oppression and extortion1 
as well as effrontery in their dealing  
with the people and the ,government of  
the ,united ,states4 ,our people and our
 country1 said the speaker1 were only   
able to stand the drafts thus made on   
their liberties because they were yet   
young and strong and vigorous4 ,mr4     
,eustis advocated the forfeiture of     
every acre of land that had not been    
earned according to the strict          
limitations and conditions imposed in   
the grant4  ,in the house of            
,representatives1 ,december #aa1 #ahhf1 
,mr4 ,payson of ,illinois1 on behalf of 

the ,committee on ,public ,lands1 called
 up the bill declaring a forfeiture of  
the ,ontonagon and ,brule ,river land   
grant4 ,in detailing the circumstances  
of the grant ,mr4 ,payson declared that 
from the organization of the ,ontonagon 
and ,brule ,river ,company no step had  
ever been taken by it which did not     
indicate that that organization had been
 purely speculative and effected for the
 purpose of getting land from the       
,general ,government4 ,it had been an   
attempt at bare-faced robbery from its  
inception down to the present time4     
,referring to the statement made by     
persons interested in the road1 that it 
had been accepted by commissioners and  
reported upon as having been built in   
first-class style1 he asserted that     
miles of the road had no other ballast  
than ice and snow1 which1 melting in    
spring1 left the rails held in          
suspension eight inches above the       
ground4 ,in support of his assertion1 he
 produced photographs of various        

sections of the road and commented upon 
them1 much to the amusement of the      
,house4 ,a bridge1 as depicted by the   
photograph1 he declared to be humped    
like a camel and backed like a whale4 ,a
 section of a mile in length showed but 
one railroad tie2 while a #bej-;foot cut
 was shown as being filled with logs and
 brush4 ,the bill was passed without    
division4 ,it forfeits #chd1fjj acres4  
,the march of monopoly must be arrested 
in the ,united ,states and ,mexico4 ,a  
,new ,england company has obtained from 
,mexico eighteen millions of acres in   
lower ,california4 ,all over the world  
the curse of land monopoly flourishes   
undisturbed4 ,the natural result of     
landlordism everywhere is already       
foreshadowed in this country by the     
example of ,william ,scully in          
,illinois4 ,the ,chicago ,tribune one   
year ago devoted four columns to the    
career of ,scully1 a resident of        
,london1 who owns large tracts of       
,american land1 and has introduced the  

,irish landlord system in managing his  
,american property4 ,the ,tribune       
said3--  ,scully is one of the chief    
figures among the alien proprietors of  
,american soil1 and has introduced the  
meanest features of the worst forms of  
,irish landlordism on his estates in    
this country4 ,he has acquired in the   
neighborhood of #ij1jjj acres of land in
 ,illinois alone1 at a merely nominal   
figure--#ej cents to #a per acre1 as a  
rule4 ,his career as an ,irish landlord 
was a history of oppression and         
extortion1 that was appropriately       
finished by a bloody encounter with his 
tenants4 ,he was tried and acquitted on 
the charge of double murder1 but became 
so unpopular that in #ahej he sold most 
of his ,irish property1 and has since   
devoted himself to building up a        
landlord system in ,illinois1 ,kansas1  
,nebraska1 and other ,states4 ,he made  
entries of the public domain through the
 medium of the land warrants issued to  
,mexican war soldiers1 which he         

purchased at the rate of #ej cents per  
acre4 ,in ,logan ,county1 ,ill41 alone1 
he has #dj1jjj to #de1jjj acres4 ,it is 
the almost universal testimony that     
,scully's rule in that county has       
reduced #bej tenants and their families 
to a condition approaching serfdom4     
,furthermore1 ,scully pays no taxes1 the
 tenants signing ironclad agreements to 
assume the same1 but they are required  
to pay to ,scully's agents the tax money
 at the same time as the rentals--the   
#ast of ,january of each year2 whereas1 
the agent need not turn over the taxes  
to the county treasurer until about     
,june #aj following4 ,it is suggested   
that ,scully probably makes a handsome  
percentage on the tax money remaining in
 his hands for five months4 ,it is also 
shown that a great deal of this alien's 
land entirely escapes taxation1 thus    
increasing the burden on other property 
holders2 that he takes the most         
extraordinary precautions to secure his 
rent1 executing a cast iron lease1 with 

provisions that mortgage the tenant's   
all1 scarcely allowing his soul to      
escape1 and making it compulsory for    
small grain to be sold immediately after
 harvest1 no matter what may be the     
condition of the market2 that grain     
dealers are notified not to buy of the  
tenants until ,scully's rent is paid2 in
 short1 that ,scully has founded a land 
system so exacting that it is only      
paralleled in ,ireland1 and rules his   
tenantry so despotically that few can be
 induced to tell the story of their     
wrongs1 justly feeling that it would    
involve ruin to them4  ,much sympathy   
has been excited by the reports of cruel
 evictions in ,ireland1 to gratify the  
merciless avarice of landlords1 and for 
the justice of these reports we need not
 depend on ,irish testimony alone4      
,american travellers have told enough1  
and the ,london ,standard of ,jan4 #ah  
says3 ,some of this winter's evictions  
have been inhuman spectacles1 fit only  
for a barbarous country and a barbarous 

age4  ,there is nothing intrinsically   
wrong in the relation of landlord and   
tenant1 which should excite a prejudice 
against the landlord2 on the contrary1  
many landlords have been a blessing to  
the communities in which they lived2 but
 our land system is a conspicuous part  
of a grandly false social system based  
on pure selfishness1 which makes all men
 jealous competitors1 and destroys the  
spirit of fraternity4  ,our social      
system tends ever to make the rich      
richer and the poor poorer1 and the     
struggle in ,ireland is but the         
forerunner of a movement that will      
extend around the globe4 ,is there no   
remedy for the evils8 ,indeed there is6 
,sixty years of thought have made me    
familiar with the evils and the         
remedies4 ,some of the remedies are     
coming to the front at present4 ,all    
will in time be presented in the        
,,journal ,,of ,,man4  ,land reform is  
but one of the great measures that      
progress demands4 ,the first and        

greatest is a ,,perfect ,,education for 
all1 moral and industrial4 ,the second  
is ,,spiritual ,,religion4 ,the third is
 ,,justice ,,to ,,woman4 ,the fourth1   
which is ,,justice ,,in ,,legislation1  
includes land reform1 financial reform1 
and many other reforms4 ,the fifth is   
,,industrial ,,co-,,operation4 ,the     
sixth is ,,temperance4  ,the first      
reform includes all the others4 ,the    
second would ultimately bring all things
 right1 and so would the third in a     
longer lapse of time4  ,,anthropology is
 the intellectual guidance into all     
reforms1 and therefore should precede   
all4 ,hence it is the leading theme of  
this ,journal4     ,,the ,,sinaloa      
,,colony4   ,mankind would be one family
 or group of families1 if the principles
 of ,jesus could be imparted to the     
human race4 ,but the robber races that  
occupy this globe at present are        
intensely hostile in feeling to that    
life of ,christian love which is        
commanded in the books which they honor 

with their lips4  ,the so-called        
civilized races of to-day are as        
intensely barbarian at heart1           
notwithstanding the superficial varnish 
of literary civilization1 as the hordes 
of ,attila and ,genghis ,khan4 ,witness 
the attitude of ,germany and ,france    
7the great exemplars of literary        
civilization71 each eagerly preparing   
for a deadly conflict4  ,yet in all ages
 there have been those whom nature has  
qualified for a better life1 who wish to
 live in harmony1 and turn with         
weariness and disgust from the present  
forms of avaricious strife1 rivalry1 and
 fraud4 ,if the best of these could be  
gathered in one community1 a better     
state of society could be organized4    
,horace ,greeley sympathized with such  
movements1 and about forty years ago    
gave much space in the ,tribune to the  
illustration of this subject4 ,although 
the co-operative principles of ,fourier1
 then widely discussed1 have not        
resulted in any great success in        

community life in the ,united ,states1  
it can also be said that experiments    
have not shown the doctrines of ,fourier
 to be impracticable4 ,the best thinkers
 have not lost their faith1 and the     
example of ,m4 ,godin at ,guise in      
,france1 with a population of #a1hjj in 
the ,social ,palace enjoying the very   
,utopia of happy and prosperous         
co-operative life1 is a splendid        
demonstration of what is possible1 and a
 standing rebuke to the churches of     
civilized nations which have not even   
noticed this grand demonstration of the 
possibilities of humanity4  ,the        
grandest and most hopeful co-operative  
scheme yet proposed is that of ,mr4     
,albert ,k4 ,owen1 entitled the ,credit 
,foncier of ,sinaloa1 which has been    
established at the harbor of            
,topolobampo1 in the state of ,sinaloa1 
on the western coast of ,mexico1 where a
 large and liberal grant has been       
obtained from the ,mexican government   
for the ,credit ,foncier ,company1      

chartered by the state of ,colorado1    
,mr4 ,owen being chairman of the ,board 
of ,directors4 ,its headquarters were at
 rooms #g and #h1 #cb ,nassau ,street1  
,new ,york1 and the members of the      
community are already gathered in       
considerable numbers at ,topolobampo4   
,the ,credit ,foncier of ,jan4 #aa      
reports over #d1hjj persons enlisted for
 the colony1 and over sixteen thousand  
shares of stock sold4  ,this is not a   
unitary community1 in which the         
individuality of the members is lost1   
but a co-operative corporation1 owning  
its lands as a society1 and abolishing  
at once the primary evils of land       
monopoly and a false financial system4  
,as stated by ,mr4 ,e4 ,howland1 the    
community is responsible for the health1
 usefulness1 individuality1 and security
 of each member1 and at the same time   
each will feel secure in his social and 
individual rights in the existence of   
the collective ownership and management 
for public utilities and conveniences1  

instead of the disorganized chaos in    
which to-day we live4  ,a system of     
distribution will be adopted1 doing away
 with the immense cost of trade as at   
present conducted4 ,the laborer will be 
protected against misfortune by a system
 of insurance and a pension in old age4 
,employment and opportunity will be     
provided for all1 and education provided
 for all children4 ,it is upon this     
education that the ultimate success of  
the society must depend1 for it is      
impossible to organize a perfect society
 of those whose characters have been    
moulded by the present antagonistic     
condition of society4 ,all grand ideals 
must look to the future for their       
realization4 ,that such realization may 
occur in the ,sinaloa colony is         
indicated by the following quotation    
from the exposition of the ,credit      
,foncier by ,mr4 ,howland4  ,as we shall
 have to1 at least during this          
generation depend upon the colonization 
of persons who have been subject to the 

influences of society as it is1 we would
 only say1 that the new truths          
concerning moral education contained in 
',the ,new ,education' by ,mr4 ,j4 ,r4  
,buchanan1 have been carefully examined 
by the writer of this1 and its most     
important lessons shall be applied in   
the organization of our schools2 for the
 power of love can be unquestionably    
applied1 not only as a cure for the     
evils produced inevitably by the system 
of competition1 but also as a miraculous
 agent in aiding the progress of society
 to an inconceivably higher plane of    
human life4  ,the newspaper in          
exposition of the society entitled1 ,the
 ,credit ,foncier of ,sinaloa1 published
 at #a a year1 at ,hammonton1 ,new      
,jersey1 will be issued hereafter at

descriptive of the site of the colony   
and the surrounding country 7price six  
cents7 and a map of the colony's site   
7price ten cents7 may be obtained by    
addressing the editor1 ,e4 ,howland1 at 

,topolobampo1 ,mexico4  ,while the      
,journal is going through the press1 the
 colonists are gathering in large       
numbers1 and by our next issue we may   
have some account of the commencement of
 this noble enterprise4  ,its founder1  
,mr4 ,a4 ,k4 ,owen1 is a gentleman of   
great energy and enterprise1 guided by  
noble principles1 a skilful surveyor and
 engineer4 ,about fourteen years ago he 
made extensive exploration in ,mexico1  
especially on its ,pacific ,coast1      
discovered and reported ,topolobampo    
,bay1 and introduced the scheme of the  
,norfolk  ,topolobampo ,railroad1 which 
he urged upon the attention of          
,congress1 winning the approbation of   
committees1 but finally defeated by the 
great railroad corporations4 ,he took an
 active part in ,mexican affairs1       
forming gigantic plans for the public   
welfare1 by a syndicate at the head of  
which was ,gen4 ,torbert1 which were    
defeated by a shipwreck in which ,gen4  
,torbert was lost1 and himself narrowly 

escaped death4 ,he then organized with  
the co-operation of ,gen4 ,grant1 ,gen4 
,butler1 and other distinguished men1   
the ,texas1 ,topolobampo  ,pacific      
,railroad and ,telegraph ,company1 and  
obtained a concession of #b1jjj miles of
 railroad and a subsidy of #af1jjj1jjj4 
,hon4 ,wm4 ,windom was president1 and   
,mr4 ,owen chief engineer4 ,in #ahgc he 
located a hundred miles of the road from
 ,topolobampo eastwardly1 and two years 
ago the construction commenced4 ,thus in
 the midst of a life of great activity  
and experience in engineering1 finance1 
politics1 reform1 and travel1 ,mr4      
,owen1 as a practical and skilful       
manager of great undertakings1 inspired 
by a strong democratic philanthropy1 has
 laid the plan of a co-operative colony 
on the basis of liberal concessions from
 the ,mexican government1 and opened a  
field in which his democratic ideas of  
human rights1 of land1 labor1 finance1  
hygiene1 freedom1 and general reform1   
can have full scope4  ,mr4 ,owen's ideas

 and plans are stated in a book of two  
hundred pages1 published by ,jno4 ,w4   
,lovell1 #ad ,vesey ,street1 ,new ,york1
 and sent by mail for thirty cents4 ,it 
is not a systematic treatise1 but a     
miscellaneous collection of documents   
which give a good deal of information4  
,the ,topolobampo scheme is one         
requiring great skill and executive     
ability in the directors1 as well as a  
harmonious and energetic spirit in the  
colonists4 ,the climate1 soil1 and      
opportunities are no doubt the best that
 have ever been accorded to a scheme of 
co-operation1 and when its success has  
been realized1 it may be accounted the  
most important social event of the      
century1 for it will be the dawn of     
peace to a warring world1 the promise of
 harmony between all the restless and   
convulsive elements of civilized        
society4     ,,health ,,and ,,longevity4
   ,upon these subjects the ,,journal   
,,of ,,man has a new physiological      
doctrine to present1 which may be stated

 in the initial number1 and will be     
illustrated hereafter4  ,in the volume  
of ,therapeutic ,sarcognomy1 which was  
so speedily and entirely sold upon its  
publication1 it was clearly demonstrated
 that the doctrine of vitality taught at
 this time in all medical colleges is   
essentially erroneous1 and that human   
life is not a mere aggregate of the     
properties of the tissues of the human  
body1 as a house is an aggregate of the 
physical properties of bricks and wood1 
but is an influx1 of which the body is  
but the channel and recipient4  ,that   
demonstration need not be repeated just 
now1 as my object is merely to state the
 position of the ,,journal4 ,life is an 
influx from the world of invisible      
power1 aided by various forms of influx 
from the material world1 without which  
it would promptly cease4 ,if this naked 
statement should seem fanciful or       
erroneous to any reader1 he may be just 
to himself by suspending his opinions   
until he shall have received the        

demonstration4 ,we have all been        
educated into false opinions on this    
subject1 and it is almost as difficult  
for the ,american scholar to release    
himself from the influence of education 
and habit in such matters1 as for the   
,arab to release his mind from the      
influence of the ,koran4  ,it has been  
only within the last ten years1 and as  
the sequel of investigations of the seat
 of life beginning in #ahce1 that ,i    
succeeded in ascertaining the absolute  
falsity of the doctrines on this subject
 maintained by all scientific biologists
 at the present time1 and demonstrating 
that the human body is only a tenement1 
of which life is the builder1 and which 
drops into decay when life deserts it to
 meet its more congenial home in a      
nobler realm4  ,it is not therefore in  
the physical but in the spiritual       
constitution that the real basis of his 
character1 his health1 and longevity is 
to be found1 for the primitive germ or  
protoplasm of man cannot be             

distinguished from that of a quadruped  
or bird4 ,it is the invisible and       
incalculable life element that contains 
the potentiality or possibility of      
existence as a quadruped or a man1 as a 
virtuous or vicious1 and as a long lived
 or short lived1 being4 ,the life       
element of the germ limits the destiny  
of the being4 ,that life element is     
invisible4  ,this truth1 however1 does  
not contradict the truth of development 
and the capacity of science to estimate 
the probable health or longevity of an  
individual from his organization1 for   
the life force organizes a body in      
accordance with its own character2 and  
the development of the entire person    
shows the character of the vital force  
as modified by the environment of food1 
air1 motives1 and education4 ,the brain1
 no less than the body1--indeed1 more   
fully than the body1--shows the elements
 of the life and the tendency to health 
and longevity1 or the reverse1 upon     
which an expert cranioscopist can give  

an opinion4  ,in accordance with the    
doctrine of influx and in accordance    
with the functions of the brain we are  
compelled to recognize health and       
longevity as more closely associated    
with the higher than the lower          
faculties1--the moral rather than the   
animal nature4 ,this is the reason that 
woman1 with a feebler body but a        
stronger moral nature1 ranks higher in  
health and longevity than man2 and      
although from four to sixteen per cent  
more males are born1 women are generally
 in predominance1 often from two to six 
per cent4 ,the researches of the ,bureau
 of ,statistics of ,vienna show that    
about one third more women than men     
reach an advanced age4 ,de ,verga       
asserts that of sudden deaths there are 
about #ajj women to #ghj men4 ,the      
inevitable inference is that the        
cultivation of virtue or religion is the
 surest road to longevity1 and the      
indulgence in vice and crime the most   
certain ruin to the body and soul4      

,there is a curious illustration of     
these principles in the evidence of life
 insurance companies in reference to    
spirit drinking and abstinence4 ,the    
oldest two life insurance companies of  
,england1 the ,general ,provident and   
the ,united ,kingdom1 have made records 
for forty-five years which distinguish  
the total abstainers and the moderate   
drinkers4 ,drunkards they do not insure 
at all4 ,the care with which lives are  
selected for insurance results in a     
smaller rate of mortality among the     
insured than in the entire population4  
,this gain was but slight among those   
classed as moderate drinkers1 for their 
mortality was only three per cent less  
than the average mortality2 but among   
the total abstainers it was thirty-one  
per cent less4 ,thus the proportion of  
deaths among moderate drinkers compared 
to that of total abstainers is as #ig to
 #fi4  ,the temperance advocate would   
assume that this was owing entirely to  
the deleterious effects of alcohol1 and 

that is partially true2 but there is a  
deeper reason in the difference of the  
two classes of men4 ,the man in whom the
 appetites are well controlled by the   
higher energies of his nature1 and who  
has therefore no inclination to gluttony
 or drunkenness1 has a better           
organization for health and longevity   
than he in whom the appetites have      
greater relative power1 and who seeks   
the stimulus of alcohol to relieve his  
nervous depression4 ,the inability or   
unwillingness to live without           
stimulation is a mark of weakness1 which
 is an impairment of health2 and this   
weakness predisposes to excessive and   
irregular indulgence1 though it may not 
go so far as intoxication4  ,the effects
 of marriage furnish a parallel         
illustration4 ,it is well-known that    
bachelors are more short lived than     
married men1 but this is not owing      
entirely to the hygienic influence of   
marriage4 ,it is partly owing to the    
inferiority of bachelors as a class4    

,the men who remain celibate are either 
too inferior personally to win the      
regard of women1 or are generally       
deficient in the strong affections which
 seek a conjugal life1 and the energies 
which make them fearless of its         
responsibilities and burdens4 ,evidently
 they have not as a class the robust    
energies of the marrying men1 and the   
urgent motives to compel them to regular
 industry and prudence4 ,everything     
which stimulates men to exercise the    
nobler qualities of their nature is     
promotive of health and longevity2 and  
the true religion which anthropology    
commends will increase human longevity  
in proportion as it prevails4  ,in      
future numbers the true basis and       
indications of longevity in man will be 
fully illustrated4  ,the attainable     
limits of human longevity are generally 
underrated by the medical profession and
 by popular opinion4 ,instead of the    
,scriptural limit of threescore and ten 
,i would estimate twice that amount1 or 

#adj years1 as the ideal age of healthy 
longevity1 when mankind shall have been 
bred and trained with the same wise     
energy that has been expended on horses 
and cattle4 ,of the present scrub race1 
a very large number ought never to have 
been born1 and ought not to be allowed  
to transmit their physical and moral    
deficiencies to posterity4  ,the        
estimate of #adj years as a practicable 
longevity for a nobler generation is    
sustained by the number of that age     
7fourteen1 if ,i recollect rightly7     
found in ,italy by a census under one of
 the later ,roman emperors4 ,but for the
 race now on the globe a more applicable
 estimate is that of the ,european      
scientist1 that the normal longevity of 
an animal is five times its period of   
growth1--a rule which gives the camel   
forty years1 the horse twenty-five1 the 
lion twenty1 the dog ten1 the rabbit    
five4 ,by this calculation man's twenty 
years of growth indicate #ajj4 ,but     
growth is not limited to twenty1 and if 

we extend the period of maturing to     
twenty-eight1 the same rule would give  
us #adj as an age for the best specimens
 of humanity1 which has been attained in
 rare cases1 its general possibility in 
improved conditions being thus          
demonstrated4  ,there are many fine     
examples of longevity at this time4 ,the
 famous ,french chemist ,chevreul has   
just completed his hundredth year at    
,paris1 in the full vigor of his        
intellect4  ,the ,novosti1 a ,russian   
journal1 recently mentions the death in 
the almshouse of ,st4 ,petersburg of a  
man aged #abb years1 whose mental       
faculties were preserved up to his

 near1 and sent for his family to see   
him die2 but when they arrived in       
midwinter1 they found the old man busy  
cutting wood to make a fire for his     
visitors4  ,many of these examples show 
that the faculties of both soul and body
 ought to be maintained in good         
condition to the last1 as fruit falls   
from the trees ripe and perfect4 ,when  
we leave our earthly tenement1 we ought 
to leave it in a respectable condition1 
and not carry any infirmities from it to
 the better world4     ,,remarkable

 a splendid and healthy appetite4 ,in   
the first twenty-four hours he ate      
something every hour or two1 indulging  
largely in watermelons1 milk1 apples1   
beefsteak1 potatoes1 ,english ale1 and  
,hungarian wine4 ,he gained eight and a 

half pounds weight in thirty hours4     
,everybody was astonished1 and the      
doctors were confounded2 the crowd      
cheered1 and the music resounded as the 
fast was finished and the feasting began
 in ,clarendon ,hall1 the doctor being  
in as good health and spirits as when he
 began1 except as to physical strength4 
,now it is proper to mention what ,i    
believe has not before been published1  
having been carefully concealed by ,dr4 
,tanner4 ,as he was encountering the    
whole force of a brutal prejudice in the
 medical profession1 and trickery and   
falsehood were used to defeat him by    
,dr4 ,hammond and ,dr4 ,landon ,c4      
,gray1 7a shabby story indeed1 if the   
whole truth is ever told17 ,dr4 ,tanner 
did not think it safe to elicit any     
additional hostility by confessing his  
mediumship4  ,the whole performance was 
a triumph of spiritual power6 ,dr4      
,tanner came to me in ,new ,york to aid 
him in giving a demonstration of his    
fasting power1 which had been denied in 

an insolent and scurrilous manner by    
,dr4 ,hammond and others4 ,dr4 ,hammond1
 with a great deal of duplicity and     
unfairness1 evaded the test1 and it was 
carried out with the aid of other       
parties in a very satisfactory manner4  
,the organization of ,dr4 ,tanner was   
not such as ,i would have selected for a
 fasting performance1 and he did not    
undertake it on his own resources alone4
 ,he was thoroughly a medium1 and1 when 
in my parlor1 ,indian spirits would take
 control of him1 and carry him through a
 lively performance1 speaking through   
his lips1 and promising to sustain him  
through the fast2 and they did4 ,i have 
no doubt that with a suitable           
organization1 such as is more frequently
 found in ,india than in ,america1 a    
fast could be sustained by spirit power 
for six or twelve months4 ,indeed1 there
 are records of such fasts in the old   
medical authors1 which are omitted in   
all recent works4 ,the spirit of        
dogmatic scepticism had carried the     

medical profession generally into such a
 depth of ignorance on these subjects   
that ,dr4 ,landon ,c4 ,gray declared    
that a forty days' fast had never       
occurred1 and that if ,dr4 ,tanner      
attempted it1 it must be assumed that he
 will cheat at every turn4  ,the kind of
 sentiment cultivated by colleges in the
 medical profession was shown by the    
deportment of the medical visitors4 ,the
 report of the fast says3--  ,the most  
curious episodes1 probably1 on the      
whole1 were afforded by the appearance  
of sceptics1 and members of the medical 
profession from the country4 ,many of   
the latter came long distances to       
satisfy their respective curiosity1 or  
vent their scepticism1 as the case might
 be4 ,as a rule they were long-visaged1 
not a few were unkempt1 and many were   
downright seedy in wearing apparel4     
,almost invariably they insisted upon   
boring the doctor with numberless       
questions1 many of which were idle4 ,the
 majority displayed ignorance1 and it   

might truthfully be said1 they were rude
 almost without exception4 ,one man     
insisted upon feeling ,dr4 ,tanner's    
arms and legs2 another wanted to feel   
his pulse2 a third demanded a view of   
his tongue2 a fourth declared food must 
be given to him surreptitiously1 else he
 would be dead2 a fifth wanted to search
 his pockets2 the sixth asserted his    
professional reputation 7sic7 that there
 was fraud about the whole business2 the
 seventh had some patent surgical1 or   
other appliance1 which he wished to test
 upon the patient2 and yet another      
wanted to analyze even the water he     
used1 before the faster drank it4  ,the 
effect of these boors in their constant 
inroads upon a fasting man1 whose       
surroundings and conditions were not of 
the best1 to say the least1 may be      
easily imagined4 ,when these fanatics   
were prevented by the watchers from     
extracting what little of life was left 
in the object of their devotions1 their 
indignation took various forms of       

expression4 ,as a rule they denounced   
the whole thing as a humbug1 and every  
one participating as frauds4 ,now and   
then it became positively necessary1 in 
common decency and self-respect1 to show
 these charlatans the way to the door1  
notwithstanding their protests that they
 had paid twenty-five cents for the     
purpose of ventilating their empty      
heads4 ,as a general thing1 by ,dr4     
,tanner's direction1 the admission fee  
was returned to these people4 ,even on  
the thirty-ninth day1 when the doctor   
desired all the quiet he could obtain1  
one of these gentry1 who said he was a  
physician from ,long ,island1 talked so 
loudly that he had to be called to      
order1 and then nothing daunted1 he     
asked the faster to go in his enfeebled 
condition to the south gallery1 where   
his writing materials were1 to prepare  
an autograph for the applicant4 ,the    
,herald reporter on watch at the time1  
through whom the request was made for   
the autograph1 gave the fellow a settler

 by remarking1 that he1 as a layman1    
thought the first rudiments taught in   
the medical profession1 were those of   
feelings of humanity4  ,then the wits   
had their time of it4 ,they showered in 
caricatures and doggerel by the barrel4 
,none enjoyed these more than the doctor
 himself4 ,by his direction the funniest
 of the cartoons were pasted against the
 wall of the gallery in which the doctor
 slept and the watchers sat4 ,above the 
whole was the legend in ,german text1   
',tanner ,art ,gallery1' and during the 
closing days and hours of the fast it   
was a source of much attraction and a   
great deal of merriment to the thousands
 of visitors who sought the place4      
,before the fasting began ,i witnessed  
an amusing specimen of the medical      
scepticism4 ,one of the medical visitors
 inspected the hall closely1 and finding
 in the back part that a piece of nearly
 worn out carpet remained on the floor1 
proceeded to rip it up and tear it away1
 as if he suspected there might be a    

trap door concealed4  ,medical education
 has been miserably cramped and         
benighted by the total ignoring of the  
nobler element of the human             
constitution4     ,,cerebral            
,,psychology4   ,the comprehensive      
system of science developed by          
experiment on the brain1 perfected by   
psychometric exploration1 demonstrated  
by pathognomy1 corroborated by personal 
experiences and the sensations of the   
head1 enforced and illustrated by the   
study of comparative development        
throughout the animal kingdom1 based    
upon anatomy1 illustrated by pathology1 
and proven by every examination of a    
living head1 as well as every scientific
 experiment upon the brain in sensitive 
and intelligent persons1 has now been   
for forty years in the hot crucible of  
experimental physiological investigation
 by vivisection1 ablation1 autopsy1 and 
electricity1 and still remains as the   
solid gold of eternal science4  ,the    
labors of ,ferrier1 ,fritsch1 ,hitzig1  

,schiff1 ,bastian1 ,charcot1 and others1
 have added many valuable facts2 but no 
new fact can contradict a fact          
previously well observed1 and nothing   
has occurred to dethrone the founder of 
cerebral science1 ,dr4 ,gall1 who ranks 
immeasurably beyond all his             
contemporaries1 and who prepared the way
 for the full development of ,cerebral  
,psychology1 resulting from the         
discovery of the impressibility of the  
brain1 which has opened the entire realm
 of cerebral psychology1 and through    
that has given us access to every realm 
of wisdom4  ,the long expected and long 
promised work upon this subject cannot  
be published now1 for it requires an    
amount of elaborate research and        
criticism to bring the new discoveries  
en rapport with the investigations of   
more than a hundred physiologists and   
anatomists1 whose labors should not be  
overlooked in a complete or systematic  
work uniting anatomy to psychology4     
,under these circumstances it is        

necessary and practicable1 since my     
,system of ,anthropology has been       
entirely out of the market for thirty   
years1 to present a concise exposition  
of cerebral psychology and physiology1  
to satisfy those who perceive the       
inadequacy of the ,gallian system1 and  
who are aware that my discoveries have  
thoroughly revolutionized as well as    
enlarged cerebral science1 rendering the
 old term phrenology inadequate to      
express its present status4  ,i propose 
therefore to publish in the successive  
numbers of this ,journal a concise      
,synopsis of ,cerebral ,science1 giving 
as concisely as possible the outlines of
 that vast theme1 in so clear and       
practical a manner that each reader can 
test its truth in nature by examining   
character1 correcting the errors of     
phrenology1 demonstrating the science by
 his own experiments1 and applying its  
principles in the treatment of disease1 
in experimental investigation1 in       
education1 self-culture1 and elocution4 

,this may satisfy the urgent present    
demand1 until time shall permit a       
satisfactory work1 containing the       
illustrations and proofs1 the important 
modern discoveries in cerebral anatomy  
and vivisecting experiments1 as well as 
the vast and interesting philosophy into
 which we are led by cerebral science4  
,the ,march number will contain the     
first instalment1 and its publication   
will be continued through the volume4   
,,music4   ,the claims of music were    
never so thoroughly presented as in the 
,new ,education1 in which it was shown  
that music was the most effective of all
 agents for the cultivation of man's    
higher nature1 and the elevation of the 
world from its purgatory of selfishness1
 poverty1 and crime4 ,this idea was most
 fully realized by ,,mrs4 ,,elizabeth   
,,thompson1 who has spent a considerable
 amount in promoting the currency and   
use of music1 especially of a religious 
character4  ,the idea that music should 
exercise a world redeeming power1 and   

promote all social advancement1 must    
appear strange1 when first mentioned to 
those who are familiar only with        
fashionable operatic performances and   
the heartless style of vocal and        
instrumental music in vogue at the      
centres of musical education1 which is  
robbed as thoroughly as possible of all 
ethical life1 all soul inspiring power4 
,there is music1 however1 which sways   
our noblest emotions1 which can bring   
smiles to the face or tears to the eyes1
 hope to the dejected or courage to the 
timid1--which can rouse the strongest   
impulses of love and duty4 ,the musical 
reformer who shall change the tide of   
popular music from its present low      
channels to that higher sphere of sweet 
and noble sentiments1 will be far more  
than a ,wagner1--aye1 more than a       
,luther4  ,dr4 ,talcott1 ,superintendent
 of the ,middleton1 ,n4 ,y41 ,state     
,asylum of the ,insane1 has introduced  
music into all of the wards of his      
institution with excellent results1     

judging from his last annual report1    
from which the following is extracted4  
,it is said1 that before ,moses dwelt   
upon the banks of the ,nile1 the        
,egyptians erected temples and altars   
for the treatment of the insane2 and1   
among the most notable measures for the 
accomplishment of the cure of lunatics1 
music took an exalted rank4 ,there can  
be no doubt that music exercises a      
potent influence in producing calm and  
restfulness in minds which are disturbed
 by cerebral diseases4 ,musical         
instruments have been provided in nearly
 every ward1 and the results have been  
most favorable4 ,even turbulent patients
 will subside when the pleasures of     
music are afforded to them4 ,one of the 
most effective attendants we ever had   
upon our disturbed wards was a good     
musician4 ,after his work was done1 he  
would sit down among his patients1 and  
play upon the violin4 ,immediately the  
most excited persons in the ward would  
group themselves about him1 and listen  

with profound attention so long as he   
continued to play for them4 ,where good 
music can be provided for the turbulent 
insane1 there exists but little         
necessity for restraint of a physical   
nature4     ,,insanity4   ,the tendency 
of modern civilization is toward        
insanity4 ,it is increasing throughout  
,christendom1 and far more where the    
boasted influences of modern education  
and the so-called progress are most     
fully realized4 ,the whole fabric of    
education and society is unsound1 and   
this is proved by the results4  ,a true 
civilization advancing in wisdom must   
develop the ability to correct its own  
evils1 but the civilization that we have
 is drifting on1 downward and helpless4 
,the philosophy of insanity and the     
philosophy of its remedial treatment can
 be found only in the profound study of 
the brain1 and its relations to the soul
 and body4 ,but there is not a glimmer  
of the psychic science of the brain     
to-day in our colleges4 ,in due time1   

this theme shall be discussed in the    
,journal4  ,a proper understanding of   
this subject will show what method of   
life and thought tends toward insanity1 
and by what methods we escape it4 ,it   
will show also the relation of disease  
to insanity1 and the proper methods of  
moral and physical treatment4           
,,miscellany4   ,,our ,,narrow ,,limits 
,,and ,,future ,,tasks4--,as the        
,journal goes to press ,i realize       
vividly how utterly inadequate a dollar 
monthly is for the expression of the new
 philosophy1 even in the most condensed 
form1 and for the periscope of progress 
that it should contain4 ,a large amount 
of desirable matter is necessarily      
excluded4 ,nevertheless a modest        
beginning is prudent2 for the vitality  
of a young journal1 whether daily1      
weekly1 or monthly1 is as delicate as   
that of an infant4 ,it is to be hoped   
that the friends of progress will secure
 patronage enough to the ,journal this  
year to justify its enlargement in      

#ahhh4 ,meantime the minister whose     
circuit embraces many stations cannot   
visit them all each week4 ,in like      
manner the ,,journal ,,of ,,man has too 
large a circuit to approach each of its 
themes every month4 ,the science of man 
being the highest and most comprehensive
 of themes1 occupies the chief position 
in the first number4 ,hereafter we must 
consider in succession such themes as   
#a4 ,,psychometry and its revelations2  
,,spiritual science and philosophy4     
#b4 ,,medical progress and reform2      
,,hygiene and temperance4   #c4

extinction of ,,monopolies4   #f4       
,,woman',s rights and progress2 the     
condition of the ,,world4  ,and a score 
of other important themes4 ,it may be   
two years before they can all be        
reached4 ,those who preserve their      

,journals will in time have a small     
library1 embodying the knowledge that   
progressive minds would cherish4        
,,palmistry4--,mr4 ,e4 ,heron-,allen1 a 
very intelligent gentleman from         
,england1 with a fashionable prestige1  
has been interesting the fashionables of
 ,new ,york and ,boston in palmistry1   
or1 as he calls it1 cheirosophy1 with   
considerable profit to himself4 ,the    
human constitution is so unitary in     
itself that every portion reveals much  
of the whole4 ,physicians learn a great 
deal from the globules of the blood1    
others draw many inferences from the    
excretions4 ,the amount of study given  
to the hand renders it probable that    
palmistry may have considerable value as
 a physiognomic science4 ,as it comes   
now in a fashionable style it may       
flourish1 but of course it was only a   
vulgar imposture when practiced by      
gypsies4 ,circumstances alter cases4

,,apparitions ,,of ,,the ,,dead4--,prof4
 ,barrett of the ,english ,psychical    
,research ,society1 states that3 ,it has
 been demonstrated almost as certainly  
as has been the law of gravitation1 that
 scores of cases have occurred where    
some persons in one town1 have1 at a    
certain hour or minute1 seen the figure 
of a friend flit across the room1 and   
have afterwards discovered that at that 
very hour and minute the friend breathed
 his last in a distant town1 or1 may be1
 in a foreign country4 ,now these cases 

are inexplicable by any formula of      
science1 yet that they have happened is 
scientifically proved4  ,notwithstanding
 the good intentions of some of the     
members of that society1 its general    
conduct has been so unfair in its       
investigations that ,stainton ,moses1   
the vice-president1 has felt it to be   
his duty to resign and withdraw4 ,the   
truth is1 the pioneers in philosophy can
 expect no cordial co-operation and no  
real justice from their oldtime         
opponents4 ,the ,american ,psychic

protect themselves from the river when  
in flood1 and partly to make it more    
difficult for their enemies to surprise 
them1 build their huts on the limbs of  
the trees where the thick foliage almost
 completely hides the structures from   
view4 ,the inmates possess almost the   
agility of monkeys1 and they climb up or
 descend from their little houses with  
astonishing ease4 ,it is believed they  
are the only ,africans yet known who    
live in trees4  ,in ,borneo some of the 
natives are said to live in trees1 and  
,mr4 ,chalmers1 in his book on ,new

houses that he visited on that island4  
,these huts1 which are built near the   
tops of very high trees1 are used for   
look-out purposes1 or as a place of     
refuge for women and children in case of
 attack4 ,they are perfect little huts  
with sloping roofs and platforms in

no direct evidence that the elements are
 different manifestations of the same   
form of matter1 yet he thinks that the  
observed phenomena of chemistry and     
physics point very strongly to such a   
conclusion1 and agrees with ,faraday1

reform them1 to change them from one to

,,department of the ,journal deserves   
the attention of all its readers1 as it 

will be devoted to matters of general   
interest and real value4 ,the treatment 
of the opium habit by ,dr4 ,hoffman is  
original and successful4 ,dr4 ,hoffman  
is one of the most gifted members of the
 medical profession4 ,the electric      
apparatus of ,d4 ,h4 ,fitch is that     
which ,i have found the most useful and 
satisfactory in my own practice4        
,bovinine ,i regard as occupying the    
first rank among the food remedies which
 are now so extensively used4 ,the old  
drug house of ,b4 ,o4  ,g4 ,c4 ,wilson  
needs no commendation2 it is the house  
upon which ,i chiefly rely for good     
medicines1 and does a very large        
business with skill and fidelity4 ,the  
,american ,spectator1 edited by ,dr4 ,b4
 ,o4 ,flower1 is conducted with ability 
and good taste1 making an interesting   
family paper1 containing valuable       
hygienic and medical instruction1 at a  
remarkably low price4 ,it is destined to
 have a very extensive circulation4 ,i  
have written several essays in          

commendation of the treatment of disease
 by oxygen gas1 and its three compounds1
 nitrous oxide1 per-oxide and ozone4    
,what is needed for its general         
introduction is a convenient portable

,dr4 ,b4 ,m4 ,lawrence1 at ,hartford1

,college of ,therapeutics4  ,the large  
amount of scientific and therapeutic    
knowledge developed by recent           
discoveries1 but not yet admitted into  
the slow-moving medical colleges1       
renders it important to all young men of
 liberal minds--to all who aim at the   
highest rank in their profession--to all
 who are strictly conscientious and     
faithful in the discharge of their      
duties to patients under their care1 to 
have an institution in which their      
education can be completed by a         
preliminary or a post-graduate course of
 instruction4  ,the amount of           
practically useful knowledge of the     
healing art which is absolutely excluded
 from the curriculum of old style       
medical colleges is greater than all    
they teach--not greater than the adjunct
 sciences and learning of a medical     
course which burden the mind to the     
exclusion of much useful therapeutic    
knowledge1 but greater than all the     
curative resources embodied in their    

instruction4  ,the most important of    
these therapeutic resources which have  
sometimes been partially applied by     
untrained persons are now presented in  
the ,college of ,therapeutics1 in which 
is taught not the knowledge which is now
 represented by the degree of ,m4 ,d41  
but a more profound knowledge which     
gives its pupils immense advantages over
 the common graduate in medicine4       
,therapeutic ,sarcognomy1 a science     
often demonstrated and endorsed by able 
physicians1 gives the anatomy not of the
 physical structure1 but of the vital   
forces of the body and soul as located  
in every portion of the constitution--a 
science vastly more important than      
physical anatomy1 as the anatomy of life
 is more important than the anatomy of  
death4 ,sarcognomy is the true basis of 
medical practice1 while anatomy is the  
basis only of operative surgery and     
obstetrics4  ,indeed1 every magnetic or 
electric practitioner ought to attend   
such a course of instruction to become  

entirely skilful in the correct         
treatment of disease4  ,in addition to  
the above instruction1 special attention
 will be given to the science and art of
 ,psychometry--the most important       
addition in modern times to the practice
 of medicine1 as it gives the physician 
the most perfect diagnosis of disease   
that is attainable1 and the power of    
extending his practice successfully to  
patients at any distance4 ,the methods  
of treatment used by spiritual mediums  
and mind cure practitioners will also be
 philosophically explained4  ,the course
 of instruction will begin on ,monday1  
the #b;d of ,may1 and continue six      
weeks4 ,the fee for attendance on the   
course will be #be4 ,to students who    
have attended heretofore the fee will be

,,james ,,st41 ,,boston4  ,the          
sentiments of those who have attended   
these courses of instruction during the 

last eight years were concisely         
expressed in the following statement1   
which was unanimously signed and        
presented to ,dr4 ,buchanan by those    
attending his last course in ,boston4   
,the undersigned1 attendant1 upon the   
seventh session of the ,college of      
,therapeutics1 have been delighted with 
the profound and wonderful instructions 
received1 and as it is the duty of all  
who become acquainted with new truths of
 great importance to the world1 to      
assist in their diffusion1 we offer our 
free and grateful testimony in the      
following resolutions3  ,resolved1 ,that
 the lectures and experiments of ,prof4 
,buchanan have not only clearly taught1 
but absolutely demonstrated1 the science
 of ,sarcognomy1 by experiments in which
 we were personally engaged1 and in     
which we cannot possibly have been      
mistaken4  ,resolved1 ,that we regard   
,sarcognomy as the most important       
addition ever made to physiological     
science by any individual1 and as the   

basis of the only possible scientific   
system of ,electro-,therapeutics1 the   
system which we have seen demonstrated  
in all its details by ,prof4 ,buchanan1 
producing results which we could not    
have believed without witnessing the    
demonstration4  ,resolved1 ,that        
,therapeutic ,sarcognomy is a system of 
science of the highest importance1 alike
 to the magnetic healer1 to the         
electro-therapeutist1 and to the medical
 practitioner1--giving great advantages 
to those who thoroughly understand it1  
and destined to carry the fame of its   
discoverer to the remotest future ages4

use there4 ,it has been in almost daily 
use since without ever having to do the 
first thing to it1 not even refilling1  
and now1 after a year's service1 ,i     
cannot see but that it runs just as well
 as it did the first day ,i used it1 and
 the battery is just as clean as when   
put in1 nor the least particle of       
corroding4 ,this is a better record than
 any other battery can furnish with     
which ,i am acquainted4 ,i can only say 
,i am more than pleased with it1 as
