Buchanan’s “Journal of Man.” “Perhaps no journal published in the world is so far in advance of the age.”—Plain Dealer, Cleveland.
“His method is strictly scientific; he proceeds on the sure ground of observation and experiment; he admits no phenomena as reality which he has not thoroughly tested, and is evidently more desirous to arrive at a correct understanding of nature than to establish a system…. We rejoice that they are in the hands of one who is so well qualified as the editor of the Journal to do them justice, both by his indomitable spirit of research, his cautious analysis of facts, and his power of exact and vigorous expression.”—New York Tribune.
“This sterling publication is always welcome to our table. Many of its articles evince marked ability and striking originality.”—National Era, Washington City.
“It is truly refreshing to take up this monthly…. When we drop anchor and sit down to commune with philosophy as taught by Buchanan, the fogs and mists of the day clear up.”—Capital City Fact.
“This work is a pioneer in the progress of science.”—Louisville Democrat.
“After a thorough perusal of its pages, we unhesitatingly pronounce it one of the ablest publications in America.”—Brandon Post.
“To hear these subjects discussed by ordinary men, and then to read Buchanan, there is as much difference as in listening to a novice performing on a piano, and then to a Chevalier Gluck or a Thalberg.”—Democrat Transcript.
Buchanan’s “System of Anthropology.” “We have no hesitation in asserting the great superiority of the form in which it is presented by Dr. Buchanan, whether we regard its practical accuracy or its philosophical excellence.”—American Magazine of Homœopathy.
“The author has long been known as a distinguished Professor of Physiology, whose name is identified with one of the most remarkable discoveries of the age, the impressibility of the brain…. We are confident Buchanan’s ‘Anthropology’ will soon supersede the fragmentary systems of Gall and Spurzheim, the metaphysicians and phrenologists.”—Daily Times, Cincinnati.
“Beyond all doubt it is a most extraordinary work, exhibiting the working of a mind of no common stamp. Close students and hard thinkers will find in it a rich treat, a deep and rich mine of thought.”—Gospel Herald, Cincinnati.
