Is widely known in America and Europe, having been before the reading world fifty years, and occupying a place in literature exclusively its own, viz., the study of Human Nature in all its phases, including Phrenology, Physiognomy, Ethnology, Physiology, etc., together with the “Science of Health,” and no expense will be spared to make it the best publication for general circulation, tending always to make men better physically, mentally, and morally. Parents and teachers should read the Journal, that they may better know how to govern and train their children. Young people should read the Journal, that they may make the most of themselves. It has long met with the hearty approval of the press and the people.
N. Y. Times says: “The Phrenological Journal proves that the increasing years of a periodical is no reason for its lessening its enterprise or for diminishing its abundance of interesting matter. If all magazines increased in merit as steadily as The Phrenological Journal, they would deserve in time to show equal evidences of popularity.”
Christian Union says: “It is well known as a popular storehouse for useful thought. It teaches men to know themselves, and constantly presents matters of the highest interest to intelligent readers, and has the advantage of having always been not only ‘up with the times,’ but a little in advance. Its popularity shows the result of enterprise and brains.”
