Book excerpt: Excerpt from Self-Instructor in Phrenology and Physiology: With Over One Hundred New Engravings To teach learners those organic conditions which indicate character is the first object of this manual. And to render it accessible to all, it condenses facts and conditions rather than elaborates arguments - because to expound Phrenology is its highest proof - states laws and results, and leaves them upon their naked merits; embodies recent discoveries, and crowds into the fewest words and pages just what learners need to know, and hence requires to be studied rather than merely read. "Short, yet clear," is its motto. Its analysis of the faculties and numerous engravings embody the results of the very extensive observation and experience of the Authors. To record character Is its second object. In doing this, it describes those organic conditions which affect and indicate character in seven degrees of power - very large, large, full, average, moderate, small, and very small - indicated by the seven numerals 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 and refers those who have their physiological and phrenological conditions correctly marked in the accompanying table, to those paragraphs which both describe themselves, and also contain specific directions how to perfect their characters and improve children. Its plan for recording character is seen at a glance in the following Explanation Of The Tables. The examiner will mark the power, absolute and relative, of each function and faculty, by placing a figure, dot, or dash on a line with the name of the organ marked, and in the column headed "large," or "small," according to the size of the organ marked, while the printed figure in the square thus marked refers to those pages in the book where, under the head "large," "small," etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
