“Several years ago, the Advance, in an article on pyschometry, expressed the opinion that Dr. Buchanan was the greatest discoverer of this age, if not of any age of the world.

Prof. Buchanan by his discoveries has laid the foundation for the revolution of science.”—Worthington Advance, Minnesota.
“It is designed to occupy the highest realm of knowledge attainable by man, hence will not attract those who have no aspiration toward such knowledge. No brief notice would convey a good idea of the worth of this magazine.”—Richmond (Mo.) Democrat.

“We are more than pleased to know that Prof. Buchanan at his age of life has taken upon himself such a broad, deep, beneficent task as publishing the Journal of Man. We welcome it as a harbinger of knowledge that will send its light away down the corridors of time as a beacon of the nineteenth century….We believe that its future pages are destined to contain the vortex of questions, socially and morally, which are whirling through the human mind, and their solution, in a manner that will command the profound respect of philosophers, scientists, professors, doctors, philanthropists, and all grades and classes of thinkers….Every word is interesting and profitable to the human family.”—Eastern Star, Maine.
“The article on the “Phrenological doctrines of Gall, their past and present status,” is grand and masterly, and whets the appetite for what is promised in continuation. We hope our readers will give attention to this one article; it is worth the whole price of the magazine.”—Medium and Daybreak, London, England.
The Language of the Readers of this Journal has expressed in every variety of style their generous and profound appreciation. One of its most enlightened and distinguished friends said that language could not fully express his pleasure, and in addition to his subscription sent an extra dollar to pay for the first number, which he considered was alone worth the subscription price. Another distinguished friend writes: “It is a leader, and leads in the right direction.” Another whose celebrity fills England and America writes: “I follow your noble work ever with deep interest.”
