We make a thing we call Nousometer,
Or Phrenological Micrometer;
The grand quintessence of inventions
For measuring the mind’s dimensions.
This shows men’s vices and propensities,
Their aggravations and intensities,
By marks indelible, and plain-
Ly legible as that on Cain.
Nousometers, our hope and trust is,
Will supersede our courts of justice,
