A NEW WORK.
FRESH, SEASONABLE, ADVANCED.

BRAIN AND MIND;
OR
MENTAL SCIENCE CONSIDERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES
OF PHRENOLOGY, AND IN RELATION TO MODERN PHYSIOLOGY

By HENRY S. DRAYTON, A.M., and JAMES McNEILL.
Illustrated with over One Hundred Portraits and Diagrams.
12mo, extra cloth Price, $1.60.

This contribution to the science of mind has been made in response to the demand of the time for a work embodying the grand principles of Phrenology, as they are understood and applied to-day by the advanced exponents of mental philosophy. The authors state in their Preface: "In preparing this volume it has been the aim to meet an existing want, viz. That of a treatise which not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental science known as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to anatomy and physiology as those sciences are represented to-day by standard authority."

The work is divided into eighteen chapters, which are entitled as follows:

  1. General Principles.
  2. Of the Temperaments.
  3. Structure of the Brain and Skull.
  4. Classification of the Faculties.
  5. The Physico-Preservative, or Selfish Organs.
  6. Of the Intellect.
  7. The Semi-Intellectual Faculties.
  8. The Organs of the Social Functions.

  10. The Moral and Religious Sentiments.

  13. The Action of the Faculties.
  14. The Relation of Phrenology to Metaphysics and Education.
  15. Value of Phrenology As an Art.
  16. Phrenology and Physiology.
  17. Objections and Confirmations by the Physiologists.
  18. Phrenology in General Literature.
