To TEACH LEARNERS those organic conditions which indicate character, is the first object of this manual; and in order 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 possible 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 numerous illustrative engravings give the results of very extensive professional observations and experience. 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-large, very large, full, average, moderate, small, and very small, and refers those who have their physiological and phrenological conditions correctly marked in the accompanying tables, 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. Those physiological and phrenological conditions marked LARGE have a powerful and almost CONTROLLING influence over feelings and conduct, both single and in combination, and engross weaker ones into their service. VERY LARGE organic conditions are sovereign kings over character and conduct, and singly and in combination with each other. or with large organs, direct and sway their possessor. FULL organs play subordinate parts, yet are seen and felt, and exert more real than apparent influence. AVERAGE ones have considerable, yet a limited influence, but it is mainly in COMBINATICN with large ones, though chey Auffsw Viii PIREFACE AND EXPLANATION. charactet more than they seem to. MODERATE faculties are below pat in fact, and still more so hn appearance; exert a limited influence; and'eave character defective in these respects. SMALL organs are so deficient as easily to be perceived; leave their possessor weak and faulty in these points; and should be assiduously cultivated; while VERY SMALL ones render him almost idiotic in these functions. This table is so constructed as to record the ACTUAL POWER, or quality and quantity of the physical and mental functions, as deduced from size and activity combined., and this is dcle by means of dots or written figures placed opposite the names of the organs and temperaments, and the printed figures in the squares thus marked, designate the number of the page in this work which contains the corresponding description of character; and these paragraphs, thus referred to in the body of the work, have figures attached to them, referring to the pages of "( Fowler's Phrenology," where an elaborate description'of the several functions are discussed at length, with numerous combinations which shade and tone the character. The six left hand columns refer to the pages of this work, while the two right hand ones refer to those NUMBE:RED PARAGRAPHS found throughout " Physiology," " Self-Culture," and " Memory," which contain directions for cultivating, restraining, and rightly sirecting whatever physical functions or mental faculties may require either, both in adults and children; so that these works, in conjunction with a correct marking in these tables, furnish a complete directory for obviating faults, supplying defects, developing excellencies, and perfecting one's self and children. Faculties marked with an upward curve, thus, A, in the several squares, are deficient, and require cultivation; while those marked with a downward curve, thus, v, are liable to excess or perversion, and should be carefully guarded and rightly directed; while + signifies about one third larger; and - one third smaller than a dot would indicate in the same place, thus rendering cne scale equal to twenty-one. MARKING THE trlART BY FIGURES. Some persons who record examinations prefer to use numerals to indicate the size of the organs. We describe the organs in seven degrees of power, and to indicate those degrees, employ the written figures, 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 7. When thus used, 1 means VEAY SMALL; 2, SMALL;' MODE RATE; 4, AVERAGS; 5, FULL; 6, LARGE; 7, VERY LARGE. The signs + _, _, v, mean;he same as in the above table. THE SELFINSTRUCTOR. SECTION I. rHIiJULOGICAL CONDITIONS AS AFFECTING AND INDICAT. ING CHARACTER. I.-VALUE OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE is power"-to accomplish, to enjoy-and these are the only ends for which man was created. ALL knowledge confers this power. Thus, how incalculably, and in how many ways, have recent discoveries in chemistry enhanced human happiness, of which the lucifer match furnishes a home example. Increasing knowledge in agriculture is doubling the means of human sustenance. How immeasurably have modern mechanical improvements multiplied, and cheapened all the comforts of life. How greatly have steamboats and railroads added to the former stock of human success and pleasures. Similar remarks apply to all other kinds of knowledge, and as it increases from age to age will it proportionally multiply all forms of human happiness. In fact, its inherent nature and legitimate effect is to promote every species of enjoyment and success. Other things being equal, those who know most, by a law of things, can both accomplish and enjoy most; while ignorance instead of being bliss, is the greatest cause of human weakness, wickedness, and woe. Hence, to ENLIGHTEN man, is the way to reform and perfect him. But sELF-knowledge is, of all its other kinds, both the most useful and pr-motive of personal and universal happiness and success. "Know thyself" was written, in golden capitals, upon the splend d temple of Delphos, as the most important maxim the wise men of (-reece could transmit to unborn generations; and the Scriptures wiselyi,mmand us t) "search our own hearts." Since all happiness flows fromn obeying, and all pain from violating, the LAWS OF OUR BEING, to kZow our own selves is to know these laws, and becomes the first step in the road of their obedience, which is life. Self-knowledge, by teaching the laws and conditions of tife and health, ienomes the most efficacious means of prot 1 * 10 THE SELF-INSTRUCTOR longing the former and increasing the latter-both of which are paramount conditions of enjoying and accomplishing. It also shows us our natural talents, capabilities, virtues, vices, strong and weak points, liabilities to err, etc., and thereby points out, unmistakably, those occupations and spheres in which we can and cannot succeed and shine; and develops tile laws and conditions of human and personal virtue and moral perfection, as well as of vice, and how to avoid it. It is, therefore, the quintessence of all knowledge; places its possessor upon the very acme of enjoyment and perfection; and bestows the highest powers and richest treasures mortals can possess. In short, to know ourselves perfectly, is to know every law of our being, every condition cf happiness, and every cause of suffering; and to practice such knowledge, is to render ourselves as perfectly happy, throughout every department of our being, as we can possibly be and live. And since nothing in nature stands alone, but each is reciprocally related to all, and all, collectively, form one magnificent whole-since all stars and worlds mutually act and react upon each other, to cause day and night, summer and winter, sun and rain, blossom and fruit; since every genus, species, and individual throughout nature is econd or sixteenth cousin to every other; and since man is the epitome of universal nature, the embodiment of all her functions, the focus of all her light, and representative of all her perfections-of course to understand him thoroughly is to know all things. Nor can nature be studied advantageously without him for a text-book, nor he without her. Moreover, since man is composed of mind and body, both reciprocally and most intimately related to each other —since his mentality is manifested only by bodily organs, and the latter depends wholly upon the former, of course his mind can be studied only through its ORGANIC relations. If it were manifested independently of his physiology, it might be studied separately, but since all his organic conditions modify his mentality, the two must be studied TOGErTHER. Heretofore humanity has been studied by piece-meal. Anatomists have investigated only his organic structure, and there stopped; and mental philosophers have studied him metaphysically, wholly regardless of all his physiological relations; while theologians have theorized upon his moral faculties alone; and hence their utter barrenness, from Aristotle down. As if one should study nothing but the trunk - ea tree, another only its roots, a third its leaves, or fruit, without compounding their researches, of what value is such piece. meal stulv? If the physical man constituted one whole being, and the mental another, their separate study might be useful; but since all we know of mind. and can do with it, is manifested and done whtlly by means of physical instruments-especially since every possible condition and change of the physiology correspondingly affects the mentality-of course the'r MUTUAL relations, and the laws of their RECIPROCAL action, must be inTesl'gate, c^'lectirely. Besides, every mental philosopher has STRUCTUlRE COtRESPONDS WITH CHARACTER. 11 deduced his system from his own closet cogitations, and hence their babellike confusion. But within the last half century, a new star, or rather sun, has arisen upon the horizon of mind-a sun which puts the finger of SCIENTIFIC CERTAINTY upon every mental faculty, and discloses those Fhysiolegical conditions which affect, increase or diminish, purify or corrupt, or in any other way modify, either the mind itself, or its products — thought, feeling, and character-and thereby reduces mental study to that same tangible basis of proportion in which all science consists; leaving nothing dark or doubtful, but developing the true SCIENCE OF MIND, and the laws of its action. Of this, the greatest of all discoveries, Gall was the author, and Phrenology and Physiology the instruments which conjointly embrace whatever appertains to mind, and to man, in all his organic relations, show how to perfect the former by improving the latter, and disclose specific SIGNS OF CHARACTER, by which we may know ourselves and our fellow-men with certainty-a species of knowledge most delightful in acquisition, and valuable in application. 2.-STRUCTURE CORRESPONDS WITH CHARACTER. Throughout universal nature, the structure of all things is powerful or weak, hard or soft, coarse or fine, etc., in accordance with its functions; arid in this there is a philosophical fitness or adaptation. What immense power of function trees put forth, to rear and sustain aloft, at such great mechanical disadvantage, their ponderous load and vast canvas of leaves, limbs, and fruit or seeds, spread out to all the surgings of tempestuous winds and storms; and the texture of wood is as compact and firm as its functional power is prodigious. Hence its value as timber. But tender vegetables, grains, etc., require little power, and accordingly are fragile in structure. Lions, tigers, hyenas, and all powerfully strong beasts, have a correspondingly powerful organic structure. The muscular strength of lions is so extraordinary, that seizing wild cattle by the neck, they dash through thicket, marsh, and ravine, for hours together, as a cat would drag a squirrel, and their roar is most terrific; and so powerful is their structure, that it took Drs. McClintock, Allen, myself, and two experienced " resurrectionists," FOUR HOURS, though we worked with might and main, just to cut off a magnificent Numidian lion's head. So hard and tough were the muscles and tendons of his neck, that cutting them seemed like severing wire, and after slitting all we could, we were finally obliged to employ a powerful purchase to start them. It took over.hree hard days' work to remove his skin. So compact are the skins of the elephant, rhinoceros, alligator, and some other arimals of great muscular might, that rifle-balls, shot against them, flatten and fall at their feettheir structure being as dense as their strength is mighty -while feeble suimals hat'e a iorreapmn.ingly soft structure. In like manner, the flesh ,k2 THE SELF-INSTRUCTOR. of strong perbons is dense and most elastic, while those oi weakly ones are flabby, and yield to pressure. Moreover, fineness of texture manifests exquisiteness of sensibility, as seen by contrasting human organism and feelings with brutes, or finehaired persons with coarse-haired. Of course, a similar relation and adap tation exist between all other organic characteristics and their functiona,.In short, it is a LAW as philosophical as universal, that the structure of all beings, and of each of their organs, corresponds perfectly with their fun, tions-a law based in the very nature and fitness of things, and governing all shades and diversities of organization and manifestation. Accordingly those who are coarse-skinned are coarse in feeling, and coarse-grained throughout; while those finely organized are fine-minded, and thus of ail other textures of hair, skin, etc. 3.-SHIAPE CORRESPONDS WITH CHARACTER. Matter, in its primeval state, was " without form, and void," or gas. eous, but slowly condensing, it solidified or CRYSTALLIZED into minerals and rocks-and all rocks and minerals are crystalline-which, decom posed by sun and air, form soil, and finally assume organic, or animal and vegetable forms. All crystals assume angular forms, and all vegetables and animals those more or less spherical, as seeds, fruits, etc., in propor. tion as they are lower or higher in the creative scale; though other con ditions sometimes modify this result. Nature also manifests certain types of character in and by corresponding types of form. Thus all trees bear a general resemblance to all other trees in growth and general character, and also in shape; and those most nearly allied in character approximate in shape, as pine, hemlock, firs, etc., while every tree Of a given kind is shaped like all others of that kind, in bark, limb, leaf, and fruit. So all grains, grasses, fruits, and every bear, horse, elephant, and human being bear a close resemblance to all others of its kind, both in character and configuration, and on this resemblance all scientific classification is based. And, since this general correspondence exists between all the divisions and subdivisions into classes, genera, and species of nature's works, of course the resemblance is perfect between all the details of outward forms and inward mental characteristics; for this law, seen to govern nature in the outline, must of course govern her in all her minutest details; so that every existing outward shape is but the mirrored reflection of its inner likeness. Moreover, since nature always clothes like mentalities in like shapes, as oak, pine, apple, and other tres, and all lions, sheep, fish, etc., in other general types of form, of course the more nearly any two beings approximate to each other in mental disposition, do they resemble each other ir shape. Thus, not only do tiger fo.m and character always accompany RESEMBLANCE )F PHYSIOGNOMY AND CHARACTER. 13 each other, but leopards, panthers, cats, and all feline species resemble this tiger shape more or less closely, according as their dispositions approach or depart from his; and monkeys approach nearer to the human shape, and also mentality, than any other animal except orang-outangs, which are still more human both in shape and character, and form the con. necting link between man and brute. How absolute and universal, therefore, the correspondence, both in general outline and minute detail, between shape and character. Hence the shape of all things becomes a sure index of its mentality. 4.-RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN HUMA~ AND ANIMAL PHYSIOGNOMY AND CHARACTER. Moreover, some men closely resemble one or another of the animal species, in both looks and character; that is, have the eagle, or bull-dog, or lion fr baboon expression of face, and when they do, have the corres. TEI LION FACE. DANIEL WEBSTER, 14 THE SELF-INSTRUCTOR. ponding characteristics. Thus the lion's head aid face are broad and stout built, with a heavy beard and mane, and a mouth rendered square by small front and large eye teeth, and its corners slightly turning downward; and that human " Lion of the North"-who takes nold only of some great undertaking, which he pursues with indomitable energy, rarely pounces on his prey, but when he does, so roars that a nation quakes; demolishes his victim; and is an intellectual king among men-bears no slight physiognomical resemblance in his stout form, square face and mouth, large nose, and open countenance, to the king of beasts. TRISTAM BURGESS, called in Congress the "Bald Eagle,' from his having the aquiline or eagle-bill nose, a projection in the upper lip, fall ing into an indentation in the lower, his eagle-shaped eyes and eyebrows, as seen in the accompanying engraving, eagle-like in character, was the THE EAGLE FACE. NO. 2. TRISTAM BURGESS. most sarcastic, tearing, and soaring man of his day, John Randolph ex Eepted. And whoever has a long, hooked, hawk-bill, or common nose, wide mouth, spare form, prominence at the lower and middle part of the forehead, is very fierce when assailed, high tempered, vindictive, efli clent, and aspiring, and will fly higher and farther than others. TIGERS are always spare, muscular, long, full over the eyes, largemouthed, and have eves slanting downward from their outer to inues BEAUTIFUL, HOMELY, AND OTHER 3ORMS. 15 angles; and human beings thus physiognomically characterized, are fierce, domineering, revengeful, most enterprising, not over humane, a terror to enemies, and conspicuous somewhere. BULL-DOGS, generally fleshy, square-mouthed-because their tusks proJect and front teeth retire-broad-headed, indolent unless roused, but then terribly fierce, have their correspondent men and women, whose growling, coarse, heavy voices, full habit, logy yet powerful motions, square face, down-turned corners of mouth, and general physiognomical cast Betoken their second-cousin relationship to this growling, biting race, of which the old line-tender at the Newburgh dock is a sample. SwINE-fat, logy, lazy, good-dispositioned, flat and hollow-nosedhave their cousins in large-abdomened, pud-nosed, double-chinned, talkative, story-enjoying, beer-loving, good-feeling, yes, yes, humans, who lose some easy business, and hate HARD work. Horses, oxen, sheep, owls, doves, snakes, and even frogs, etc., also have their men and women cousins, together with their accompanying characters. These resemblances are more difficult to describe than to recognize; but the forms of mouth, nose, and chin, and sound of voice, are the best basis of observation. 5. —BEAUTIFUL, HOMELY, AND OTHER FORMS. In accordance with this general law, that shape is as character, well. proportioned persons have harmony of features, and well-balanced minds; whereas those, some of whose features stick right out, and others fall far in, have uneven, ill-balanced characters, so that homely, disjointed exteriors indicate corresponding interiors, while eveniy-balanced and exquisitely formed men and women have well-balanced and susceptible mentalities. Hence, women, more beautiful than men, have finer feelings, and greater perfection of character, yet are less powerful-and the more beautifully formed the woman the more exquisite and perfect her mentality. True, some handsome women often make the greatest scolds, just as the sweetest things, when soured, become correspondingly sour. The finest things, when perverted, become the worst. these two extremes are the worst tempered-those naturaly beautiful nd fine skinned, become so exquisitely organized, that when perverted they are proportionally bad, and those naturally ugly-formed, become ugly by nature. Yet ordinary-looking persons are often excellent dispositioned, benevolent, talented, etc., because they have a few POWERFUL traits, and also features-the very thing we are explaining; that is, they have EXTREMES alike of face and character. Thus it is that every diversity of character 16 TrH SELF-INSTRUCTOR. has its correspondence in both the organic texture and physiognomiesa form. To elucidate this subject fully we must explain another law, that of 6. —1HOMOGENEOUSNESS, OR ONENESS OF STRUCTURE. Every part of every thing bears an exact correspondence to that thing AS A WHOLE. Thus, tall-bodied trees have long branches and leaves, ind short-bodied trees, short branches and roots; while creeping vines, as.be grape, honey-suckle, etc., have long, slim roots that run under ground is extensively as their tops do above. The Rhode Island greening is a jarge, well-proportioned apple, and its tree is large in trunk, limb, leaf, and root, and symmetrical, while the gillifleur is conical and its tree long limbed and even high to a peak at the top, while flat and broad-topped trees bear wide, flat, sunken-eyed apples. Very thrifty growing trees, as the Baldwin, fall pippin, Bartlet, black Tartarian, etc., generally bear large fruit, while small fruit, as the seckle pear, lady apple, bell de choisa cherry, grow slowly, and have many small twigs and branches. Beautiful trees that bear red fruit, as the Baldwin, etc., have red inner bark; while yellow and green-colored fruits grow on trees the inner rind of whose limbs is yellow or green. Peach-trees, that bear early peaches, have deeply-notched leaves, and the converse of late ones; so that, by these and other physiognomical signs, experienced nurserymen can tell what a given tree is at first sight. In accordance with this law of unity of structure, long-handed persons have long fingers, toes, arms, legs, bodies, heads, and phrenological organs; while short and broad-shouldered persons are short and broad. handed and fingered, faced, nosed, and limbed, and wide and low bodied. When the bones on the hand are prominent, all the bones, nose included, are generally so, and thus of all other characteristics of the hand and any other part of the body. Hence, let a hand be thrust through a hole, and I will tell the general character of its owner, because if it is large or small, hard or soft, strong or weak, firm or flabby, coarse-grained or finetextured, even or prominent, rough or smooth, small-boned or largeboned, or whatever else, his whole body is built upon the same principle, with which his brain and mentality also correspond. Hence small-nosed persons have little soul, and large-nosed a great deal of character of some kind; large nostrils indicate powerful lungs and bodies; while narrow nostrils indicate weak ones. Flat noses indicate flat minds, and prominent noses strong points of character; sharp noses, keen, clear intellects and intense feelings; blunt noses, obtuse minds; long noses, long heads; hollow noses, tame characters; finely-formed noses, well-proportioned character, etc.; and thus of every part of the body. And it is meet philosophical, accordant with the principles of adaptation, that this should he thus; and renders observations on character easy and correct In THE BROAD, OR VITAL STRUCTURE. 1 general, too, tall persons have high heads, and are more aspiring, aim high, and seek conspicuosity, while short ones have flat heads, and seek worldly pleasures. Tall persons are rarely mean, though often grasping; but very penurious persons are often broad built. Small persons generally have exquisite mentalities, yet less power; while great men are rarely dwarfs, though great size often co-exists with sluggishness. To particularize-there are four leading forms which indicate generic char. acteristics, all existing in every one, yet in different DEGREES. They are these: 7.-THE BROAD, OR VITAL STRUCTURE.

These shapes, or structures, called temperaments, however, never exist separately; yet since all may be strong, or all weak, or either predominant or deficient, of course their COMBINATIONS with each other and with the Phrenology exert potent influences over character, and put the ob server in possession of both the outline and the inner temple of character. Breadth of organization gives endurance, animal power, and animal feelings; and sharpness gives intensity of action, along with mind as mind and the two united, give both that rapidity and clearness of mind ana that intense glow of feeling which make the orator. Accordingly, all truly eloquent men will be found to be broad built, round-shouldered, portly, and fleshy, and yet rather sharp-featured. Of these, Sidney Smith furnlshes a sample. His nose indicates the sharpness of the mental temperament, and his firlness of faae tho breadth of the animal-the blending of which gives COMBINA'IONS OF TEMPERAMENT. 21 RHE ExCIT R'LE, ORATORICAL, OR MENTAL VITAI NO. 7.

He will have strong desires, and much energy of character; will take hold of projects with both hands, and drive forward in spite of obstacles, and hence is calculated to accomplish a great deal; is nut idle or lazy, but generally prefers to wait upon himself; will move, walk, etc. in a decided, forcible, and straightforward manner; have strong passions; a tough and wiry brain and body; a strong and vigorous mind; good judgment; a clear head, and talents more solid than brilliant; be long-headed; bold; cool; calculating; fond of deep reasoning and philosophizing, of hard thinking, and the graver and more solid branches of learning. This is the thorough-going temperament; imparts business powers; predisposes to hard work, and is indispensable to those who engage in great undertakings, or who would rise to eminence. One having the mental temperament predominant, the motive full or large, and the vital average to full, will differ in build from the preceding description only in his being smaller, taller in proportion, and more spare. He will have a reflective, thinking, planning, discrim inating cast of mind; a great fondness forliterature, science, and intellectual pursuits of the deeper, graver kind; be inclined to choose a professional or mental occupation; to exercise his body much, but his mind more; will have a high forehead; good moral faculties 1 and the brain developed more from the root of the nose, over to Philoprogenitiveness, than around the ears. In character, also, the moral and intellectual faculties will predominate. This temperament is seldom connected with depravity, but generally with talent, and a manifestation, not only of superior talents, but of the solid, metaphysi 24 THE SELF-INSTRUCOlR. cal, reasoning, investigating intellect; a fondness for natura philom pshy the natural sciences, etc. It is also the temperament for authorship ad clear-hea(ed, labored productions.

THE ORGANS THAT ACCOMPANY GIVEN TEMPERAMENTS.-Not only do certain outlines of character and drifts of talent go along with certain kinds of organizations, but certain phrenological developments accompany certain temperaments. As the pepper secretes the smarting, the sugar-cane sweetness, castor-beans and whales, oil, etc., throughout nature, so certain temperaments secrete more brain than others; and some, brain in particular regions of the head; and others, brain in other regions of the head-but all form most of those organs best adapted to carry out those characteristics already shown to accompany the several temperaments. Thus, the vital or animal temperament secretes brain in the neighborhood of the ears, so that along with breadth of body goes that width of head which gives that full development of the animal organs which is required by the animal temperament. Thus, breadth of form, width of head, and animality of temperament and character, all go together. PROMINENCE of organization, or the motive or powerful temperament, gives force of character, and secretes brain in the crown of the head, and over the eyes, along with Combativeness, Destructiveness, Appetite, and Acquisitiveness. These are the very organs required by this tenmperament; for they complete that force which embodies the leading alement of this organization. I never saw this temperament unaccompanied with prodigious Firmness, and great Combativeness and perceptives. THE MENTAL VITAL.-The finest and most exquisite organ- MENTAL VITAL. ization is that which unites the mental in predominance with the animal, the prominent retir- ing.

Benevolence, however, often accompanies the animal temperament, and especially that quiet goodness which grants favors because the donor is too pliable, or too easy, to refuse them. But for tenderness of sympathy, and whole-souled interest for mankind, no temperament is equal to the vital mental. The motive mental, however, is the one most common in reformers. The reason is this. The mentality imparted by this temperament sees the miseries of mankind, and weeps over them; and the force of character imparted by it pushes vigorously plans for their amelioration. The outer portion of Causality, which plans, often accompanies the animal temperament; the inner, which reasons, the motive mental and mental.

Such an organization and character were those of WASHINGTON. Besides these prominent signs 3f character, there are many others. among which, 12. —THE LAUGH CORRESPONDS WITH THE CHARACTER. Those who laugh very heartily, have much cordiality and whole-souled. ness of character, except that those who laugh heartily at trifles, have much feeling, yet little sense. Those whose giggles are rapid, but light, have much intensity of feeling, yet lack power; whereas those who combine rapidity with force in laughing, combine them in character. One of the greatest workers I ever employed, I hired just because he laughed heartily, and he worked just as he laughed. But a colored domestic who laughed very rapidly, but LIGHTLY, took a great many steps to do almost nothing, and though she worked fast, accomplished little. Vulgar persons always laugh vulgarly, and refined persons show refinement in their laugh. Those who ha, ha, right out, unreservedly, have no cunning, and are open-hearted in every thing; while those who suppress laughter, and try to control their countenances in it, are more or less secretive. Those who laugh with their mouth closed, are non-committal; while those who throw it wide open, are unguarded and unequivocal in character. Those who, suppressing laughter for a while, burst forth volcano-like, have strong characteristics, but are well governed, yet violent when they give way to their feelings. Then there is the intellectual laugh, the love laugh, the horse laugh, the Philoprogenitive laugh, the friendly laugh, and many other kinds of laugh, each indicative of corresponding mental developments. 13.-THE WALK AS INDICATING CHARACTER. As already shown, texture corresponds to character, and motion to texture, and therefore to character. Those whose motions are awkward, yet easy, possess much efficiency and positiveness of character, yet lack polish; and just in proportion as they become refined in mind, will their mode of carriage be correspondingly improved. A short and quick step, indicates a brisk and active, but rather contracted mind, whereas those who take long steps, generally have long heads; yet if their step be slow, they wvill make comparatively little progress, while those whose step is LONG AND QUICK, will accomplish proportionately much, and pass most of their competitors on the highway of life. Their heads and plans, too, will partake of the same far-reaching character evinced in their carriage. Those who sluff or drag their heels, drag and drawl in every thing; while those wko walk with a springing, bounding step, abond 28 THE 6ELF-INSTRUC-O1X. in mental snap and spring. Those whose walk is mincing, affected, and artificial, rarely, if ever, accomplish much; whereas those who walk carelessly, that is naturally, are just what they appear to be, and put on nothing for outside show. Those who, in walking, roll from side to side. lack directness of character, and side every way, according to circumstances; whereas, those who take a bee litne-that is, whose body moves neit er to the right nor left, but straight forward-have a corresponding directness of purpose, and oneness of character. (Those also who tetter up and dwn when they walk, rising an inch or two every step, will have many corresponding ups and downs in life, because of their irregularity of character and feeling.) Those, too, who make a great ado in walking, will make much needless parade in every thing else, and hence spend a great amount of useless steam in all they undertake, yet accomplish little; whereas those who walk easily, or expend little strength in walking, will accomplish great results with a little strength, both mentally and physically. In short, every individual has his own peculiar mode of moving, which exactly accords with his mental character; so that, as far as you can see suoh modes, you can decipher such outlines of character. To DANCING, these principles apply equally. Dr. Wieting, the cele brated lecturer on physiology, once asked where he could find something on the temrperaments, and was answered, " Nowhere; but if I can ever see you among men, I will give you a PRACTICAL lesson upon it." Accordingly, afterward, chance threw us together in a hotel, in which was a dancing-school that evening. Insisting on the fulfillment of our promise, we accompanied him into the dancing saloon, and pointed out, first, a small, delicately moulded, fine skinned, pocket-Venus, whose motions were light, easy, waving, and rather characterless, who put forth but little strength in dancing. We remarked-" She is very exquisite in feelings, but rather light in the upper story, lacking sense, thought, and strength of mind." Of a large, raw-boned, bouncing Betty, who threw herself far up, and came down good and solid, when she danced, we remarked-" She is one of your strong, powerful, determined characters, well suited to do up rough work, but utterly destitute of polish, though possessed of great force." Others came in for their share of criticismsome being all dandy, others all business, yet none all'ntellect. 14. —THE MODE OF SIAKING HANDS Also expresses character. Thus those who give a tame and loose hand, sad shake lightly, have a cold, if not heartless and selfish disposition, rarely sacrificing much for others-probably conservatives, and lack warmth of soul. But those who grasp firmly, and shake heartily, have a corresponding wh)le-souledness of character, are hospitable, and will sacrifice bushiess t) friends; while those who bow lc,' when they shake tNTOA ATIONS AS EX~PRE6IVE OF CHARACTER. 29 iads, add daference fi friendship, and are easily led, for good or bad, Ay friends. 15. THE MOUTI! AND EYES PECULIARLY EXPRESSIVE OF CIARACTE R. Every mouth diGers from every other, and indicates a coincidt character. Large mouths express a corresponding quantity of mentality, while small ones indicate a lesser amount of mentality. A coarsely formed mouth indicates power of character, while one finely formed in dicates exquisite susceptibilities. Hence small, delicately-formed rAouths, indicate only common minds, but very fine feelings, with much perfec. tion of character. Whenever the muscles about the mouth are distinct the character is correspondingly positive, and the reverse. Those who open their mouths wide and frequently, thereby evince an,pen soul, while closed mouths, unless to hide deformed teeth, are proportionately secretive. And thus of the eyes. In travelling west, in 1342. we exar mined a man who made great pretension to religion, but was destitute of;onscience, whom we afterward ascertained to be an impostor. White attending the Farmers' Club, in New York, ths scamp came in, and besides keep. hng his eyes half closed half.the tune, frequently shut them so as to peep out upon those present, bat opened them barely enough to secure vision. Those who keep their eyes half shut, are peekaboos and eavesdroppers, and those who use squinting glasses are no better, unless they merely copy a foolish fashion. The use of quizzing glasses indicates either defective sight or defective mentalities, but are rarely if ever employed except as a fashionable appendage. Those, too, who keep their coats buttoned up, fancy high-necked and closed dresses, etc., are equally non-communicative, but those who like open, free, flowing garments, are equally open-hearted and communicative. 16.-INTONATIONS AS EXPRESSIVE OF CHARACTER. Whatever makes a noise, from the deafening roar of sea, cataract, and whirlwind's mighty crash, through all forns of animal life, to the sweet Lnd gentle voice of woman, makes a sound which agrees perfectly with tts character. Thus the terrific roar of the lion, and the soft cooing of the dove, correspond exactly with their respective dispositions; while the mough and powerful bellow of the bull, the fierce yell of the tiger, the soarse guttural moan of the hyena, and the swinish grunt, the sweet warblings of birds, in contrast with the raven's croak, and oww's hoot, each eorresponds perfectly with their respective characteristics. And this law 30 H',E SELF-INSTRU "TOR. holds equally true ofman-.-hat the human intonations are as superikr t brutal as human character exceeds animal. Accordingly, the peculiari ties of every human being are expressed in his voice, and mode of speak. ing. Coarse-grained and powerfully animal organizations have a coarse harsh, and grating voice, while in exact proportion as persons becomlo refined. mild elevated mentally, will their tones of voice become correspondingly refined and perfected. We little realize how much of character we infer from this source. Thus, some female friends are visiting me transiently. A male friend, staying with me, enters the room, is seen by my female company, and his walks, dress, manners, etc., closely scrutinized, yet says nothing, and retires, leaving a comparatively indistinct impression as to his character upon my female visitors, whereas, if lie simply said yes or no, the mere SOUND of his voice communicates to their minds most of his character, and serves to fix distinctly upon their minds clear and correct general ideas of his mentality. The barbarous races use the guttural sounds, more than the civilized. Thus Indians talk more down the throat than white men, and thus of those men who are lower or higher in the human scale. Those whosa voices are clear and distinct have clear minds, while those who only half form their words, or are heard indistinctly, say by deaf persons, are mentally obtuse. Those who have sharp, shrill intonations have correspondingly intense feelings, and equal sharpness both of anger and kindness, as is exemplified by every scold in the world; whereas those with smooth. or sweet voices have corresponding evenness and goodness of character. Yet contradictory as it may seem, these same persons not unfrequently combine both sharpness and softness of voice, and such always cornmbine them in character. There is also the intellectual, the moral, the animal, the selfish, the benignant, the mirthful, the devout, the love, and many other intonations, each accompanying corresponding peculiarities of characters. In short, every individual is compelled, by every word he utters, to manifest something of his true character-a sign of character as diversified as it is correct. 17.-HATI, SKIN, ETC., AS INDICATING CHARACTER. Coarseness of texture indicates a coarseness of function; while a fine organization indicates a corresponding fineness of mentality. And since when one part is coarse or fine, all are equally so, so, therefore, coarse. ness of skin and hair indicate a coarse-grained brain, and coarseness o! mind; yet since coarseness indicates power, such persons usually possess a great deal of character of some kind. Hence dark-skinned nations are behind light-haired in all the improvements of the age, and the higher finer manifestations of humanity. So, too, dark-haired persons, like Webster are frequently p —,essed of great power, yet lack the fine asti PHYSIO0G OMY. 31 more deicate shadings of sensibility and purity. Coarse black hair and skin, or coarse red hair and face, indicate powerful animal propensities, together with corresponding strength of character; while fine and light hair indicate quick susceptibilities, together with purity, refinement, and good taste. Fine dark or brown hair, indicates a combination of exquisite susceptibilities with great strength of character; while auburn-colored hair, and a florid countenance, indicate the highest order of exquisiteness and intensity of feeling, yet with corresponding purity of character and love of virtue, together with the highest susceptibilities of enjoyment and suffering. And the intermediate colors and textures indicate intermediate mentalities. Coarse-haired persons should never turn dentists or clerks, but should seek some out-door employment; and would be better contented with rough, hard work than a light or sedentary occupation, although mental and sprightly occupations would serve to refine and improve them; while dark and fine-haired persons may choose purely intellectual occupations, and become lecturers or writers with fair prospects of success. Red-haired persons should seek out-door employment, for they require a great amount of air and exercise; while those who have light, fine hair, should choose occupations involving taste and mental acumen, yet take bodily exercise enough to tone and vigorate their system. Generally, whenever skin, hair, or features are fine or coarse, the others are equally so. Yet some inherit fineness from one parent, and coarseness from the other, while the color of the eye generally corresponds with that of the skin, and expresses character. Light eyes indicate warmth of feeling, and dark eyes power. The mere expression of eye conveys precise ideas of the existing and predominant states of the mentality and physiology. As long as the constitution remains unimpaired, the eye is clear and bright, but becomes languid and soulless in proportion as the brain has been enfeebled. Wild, erratic persons, have a half-crazed expression of eye, while calmness, benignancy, intelligence, purity, sweetness, love, lasciviousness, anger, and all the other mental affections, express themselves quite as distinctly in the eye as voice, or any other mode. 18.-PHYSIO GNOMY. Jackson Davis well remarked that, in the spirit land, conversation is carried on mainly, not by words, but by EXPRESSION OF COUNTENANCEthat spirits I OK their thoughts and motions, rather than talk them. Certain it is that tne countenance discloses a greater amount of thought and feeling, together with their nicer shades and phases, than words can possibly communicate. Whether we will or no, we cannot HELP revealing the innermost recesses of our souls in our faces. By what means is this effected? Clairvoyants say by magnetic centrns, called poles; each 82 THE SELF-IISTRK CTOR. physical and mental organ has its pole stationed in a given part of the face, so that, when such organ becomes active, it influences such poles, and contracts facial muscles, which express the corresponding emotions. That there exists an intimate relation between the stomach and one part of the face, the lungs and another, etc., is proved by the fact that consumptive patients always have a hectic flush on the cheek, just externally from the lower portion of the nose, while inactive lungs cause paleness, and healthy ones give the rosy cheek; and that dyspeptic patients are always lank and thin opposite the double teeth, while those whose digestion is good, are full between the corners of the mouth and lower portion of the ears. Since, therefore, soME of the states of some of the internal organs express themselves in the face, of course every organ of the body must do the same-the magnetic pole of the heart beginning in the chin. Those whose circulation is vigorous, have broad and rather prominent chins; while those who are small and narrow-chinned have feeble hearts; and tLus all the other internal organs have their magnetic poles in various parts of the face. In like manner have all the PHRENOLOGICAL organs. In 1841, Dr. Sherwood, La Roy Sunderland, and 0. S. Fowler, aided by a magnetic subject, located the poles of most of the phrenological and physiological organs, some of which were as follows: Acquisitiveness on each side of the middle portion of the nose, at its junction with the cheek, causing breadth of nose in proportion to the money-grasping instincts, while a narrow nose indicated a want of the speculative turn. Firmness is in the upper lip, midway between its edge and the nose, giving length, prominence, and a compression of the upper lip. Hence, when we would exhort to determined perseverance, we say, " Keep a stiff upper lip." SelfEsteem has its pole externally from that of Firmness, and between the outer portion of the nose and the mouth, causing a fullness, as if a quid of tobacco were under the upper lip. The affections were described as having their poles in the edges of the lips, and hence the philosophy of kissing. The pole of Mirthfulness is located externally, and above the outer corners of the mouth, and hence the drawing up of these corners in laughter. Approbativeness has its pole directly outward from these corners, and hence the approbative laugh does not turn the corneis of the mouti upward, but draws them straight back, or outwardly. Like locations were assigned to nearly all the other organs. That physiognomy has its science-that fixed and absolute relations exist between the phrenolog ical (rgans and given portions of the face is not a matter of question. The natural language of the organs, as seen in the attitudes of the head, indicate not only the presence of large and active organs, but also the signs of their deficiency. Self-Esteem throws the head upward and backward toward the seat of its organ; Approbativeness, back and towari the side Pniloprogenitiveness, directly back, but not upward; KEDNESS AND PALENESS OF FACE. 33 Firmness d^iws the head up, in a stiff, perpendicular position; Individuality thrusts the head forward toward its orga a, and gives the man a staring, gazing aspect; small Self-Esteem lets the head droop forward. Man was made both t. disclose his own character, and to read that of others. Than this form of knowledge, none is more inviting or useful. Hence God has caused the inherent character of every living being and thing to gush out through every organ of the body, and every avenue of mhe soul; and also created in both brute and man a character-reading faculty, to take intuitive cognizance of the mental operations. Nor will she let any one lie, any more than lie herself, but compels all to carry the flag of their character at their mast-heads, so that all acquainted with the signs may see and read. If we attempt deception, the very effort convicts us. If all nature's signs of character were fully understood, all could read not only all tb s main characters of all they see, but even most tho ughts and feelings passing in the mind for the time being-a gift worth more than Astor's millions 19.-REDNESS AND PALENrESS OF FACE. Thus far our remarks have appertained to the constant colors of the face, yet those colors are often diversified or changed for the time being. Thus, at one time, the whole countenance will be pale, at another, very red; each of which indicates the existing states of body and mind. Or thus; when t:e system is in a perfectly healthy state, the whole face will be suffused with the glow of health and beauty, and have a red, but never an inflamed aspect; yet any permanent injury of health, which prostrates the bodily energies, wili change this florid complexion into dullness of countenance- indicating that but little blood comes to the surface or flows to the head and a corresponding stagnation of the physical and mental powers. Yet, after a time, this dullness fiequently gives way to a fiery redness; not the floridness of health, but the redness of inflammation and false excitement, which indicates a corresponding depreciation of the mental faculties. Very red-faced persons, so far from being the most healthy, are fiequently the most diseased, and are correspondingly more animal and sensual in character; because physiological inflaurination irritates the propensities more, relatively, than the moral and intellectual faculties, though it may, for the time being, increase the latter also. When the moral and intellectual faculties greatly predominate over the animal, such redness of the face may not cause coarse animality, because while it heightens the animal nature, it also increases the intellectual and moral, which, being the larger, ho;d them in check, but when the animal about equals the moral and intellectual, this inflammation evinces a greater increase of animality than intellectuality and morality.'Gross sensualists, and depraved sinners, generally have a fiery, red countenance. Stand aloof from them, for their passionr 2* 34 THE 3ELF-INSTRUCTOR. are all Gt fire, ready to ignite and explode on provocations so slight hat a healthy physiology would scarcely notice them. This point can hardly be more fully intelligible; but let readers note the difference oetween a healthy floridness of face, and the fiery redness of drunkards, debauchees, meat-eaters, etc. Nor does an inflamed physiology merely increase the animal nature, but gives a far more depraved and sensus Cast to it, thus doubly increasing the tendency to depravity. 20.-HEALTH AND DISEASE AS AFFECTING MENTALITY. Health and'disease affects the mind as much as body. Virtue, goodness, etc., are only the healthy or normal exercise of our various faculties, while depravity and sin are only the sickly exercise of these same organs. Holiness and moral excellence, as well as badness, depend far less upon the relative SIZE of the phrenological organs, than upon their DIRECTION or tone and character, and this depends upon the STATE OF THE BnDY. Or thus; a healthy physiology tends to produce a healthy action of the phrenological organs, which is virtue and happiness; while an unhealthy physiology produces that sickly exercise of the mental faculties, especially of the animal propensities, which constitutes depravity and produces misery. Hence those phrenologists who look exclusively to the predominant SIZE of the animal organs, for vicious manifestations, and regard their average size as indicative of virtue, have this great lesson to learn, that health of body produces health of mind and purity of feelings, while all forms of bodily disease, in the very nature of things, tend to corrupt the feelings and deprave the soul. While, therefore, phrenologists should scrutinize the size of organs closely, they should observe the STATE OF HEALTH much more minutely, for most of their errors are explainable on this ground: that the organs described produced vicious inclinations, not because they were so largR. but because they were physically SICK, and hence take on a morally IpDORMrD mode of action. Phrenologists, look ye wel) to these yoints, mnura fIlly explained in our other phrexniogical works. PHRENOLOIC&L CONDITIONS AS INDICATING CHARAOTER. 86 SECTION II. PHRENOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AS INDICATING CHARACTER, 21.-DEFINITION AND PROOF. PHRENOLOGY points out those relations established by nature between given developments and conditions of BRAIN and corresponding manifestations of MIND. Its simple yet comprehensive definition is this: every faculty of the mind is manifested by means of particular portions of the BRAIN called its organs, the size of which, other things being equal, is proportionate to its power of finction. For example: it teaches that parental love is manifested by one organ, or portion of the brain; appetite by another, reason by a third, etc., which are large the stronger these corresponding mental powers. Are, then, particular portions of the brain larger or smaller in proportion as particular mental characteristics are stronger or weaker? Our short-hand answer is illustrated by the following anecdote. A Mr. Juror was once summoned to attend court, but died before its sitting. It therefore devolved upon Mr. Simple to state to the court the reason of his non-appearance. Accordingly, when Mr. Juror's name was called, Mr. Simple responded, "i May it please the court, I have twenty-one reasons why Mr. Juror is not in attendance. The first is, he is DEAD. The, second is-" "That NsE will answer," responded the judge. "One such reason is amply sufficient." But few of the many proofs that Phrenology is true will here be stated, yet those few are DECISIVE. First. THE BRAIN 15 THE ORGAN OF THE MIND. This is assumed,,ecause too universally admitted to require proof. Secondly. Is the brain, then, a SINGLE organ, or is it a bundle of organs? Does the WHOLE brain think, remember, love, hate, etc.; or does one portion reason, another worship, another love money, etc.? This is the determining point. To decide it affirmatively, establishes Phrenology; negatively, overthrows it. It is proved by the following facts. TnHE. EERCISE OF DIFFERENT FLUNCTIONS SIMIULTANEOUSLY. —We can walk, think talk remember, love, and many other things all TOGETHER s8 TTH SELF-INISTPRUCTOR. -the mind being, in this respect, like a stringed instrument, with 4eve ral strings vibratilng at a time, instead of like a flute which stops the pre ceding sound when it commences succeeding ones.; whereas, if it were a single organ, it must stop thinking the instant it began to talk, could not love a friend and express that love at the same time, and could do but one thing at once. MONo:MANIA.-Since mental derangement is caused only by cerebral disorder, if the brain were a single organ, the WHLE mind must be sane or insane together; whereas most insane persons are deranged only on one or two points, a conclusive proof of the pluralit) of the brain and mental faculties. DIVERtsTY OF TALENT, or the fact that some are remarkable for sense. but poor in memory, or the reverse; some forgetting names, but rememberiLg faces; some great mechanics, but poor speakers, or the reverse; others splendid natural singers, but no mechanics, etc., etc., conducts us to a similar conclusion. INJURIES OF THE BRAIN furnish still more demonstrative proof., If Phrenology be true, to wound and inflame Tune, for example, would create a singing disposition; Veneration, a praying desire; Cautiousness, groundless fears; and so of all the other organs. And thus it is. Nor can this class of facts be evaded. They abound in all phrenological works, especially periodicals, and drive and clench the nail of proof. COMPARATIVE PHRENOLOGY, or the perfect coincidence existing be tween the developments and characters of animals, constitutes the highes proof of all. Since man and brute are fashioned upon one great model, those same great optical laws governing the vision of both, that same principle of muscular contraction which enables the eagle to soar aloft beyond our vision, and the whale to furrow and foam the vasty deep, and enabling man to walk forth in the conscious pride of his strength, and thus of all their other common functions; of course, if man is created in accordance with phrenological laws, brutes must also be; and the reverse. If, then, this science is true of either, it must be true of both; must pervade all forms of organization. What, then, are the facts? Phrenology locates the animal propensities at the SIDES of the head, between and around the ears; the social affections in its BACK and lower portion; the aspiring faculties in its CRcwN; the moral on its TOP; and the intellectual on the FOREHEAD; the perceptives, which, related to matter, OVER THE EYES; and the reflectives in the UPPER part of the forehead. (See cut No. 14.) Now since brutes possess at least only weak moral and reflective faculties, they should, if Phrenology were true, have little top head, and thus it is. Not one of all the following drawings of animals, have much brain in either the refiectivs or moral region. Almost all their mentality con. fists of thi ANIMAL *RCPENSITIsS, and nearly all their brain is BETWErEN and COMPAsArIVE PHRENOLOrG. 87 AROUND THEIR IARS, just where, according to Phrenology, it should be. Yet the skulls of all human beings rise high above the eyes and ears, and are long on top, that is, have intellectual and moral ORGANS, as we know they possess these mental ELEMENTS.

Here, then, is INDUCTIVE proof of Phrenology as extensive as the whole brute creation on the one hand, contrasted with the entire human family on the other. Agailn Destructiveness is located by Phrenology over the ears, so as to render the head wide in proportion as this organ is developed. Accord. ingly, all carnivorous animals should be wide-headed at the ears; all herbivorous, narrow. And thus they are, as seen in tigers, hyenas, bears, cats, foxes, ichneumons, etc. compared with rabbits, sheep etc. (Cuts 1, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30). s8 T~THE SELF-INSTRUCIOR.

Therefore those ho woulnervd be happy or tamuslentes must first and mainly keep their BRAIN vigorous and healthy. PHRENOLOGICAL SIGNS CF CHARACTER. 43 The brain is subdivided into two hemispheres, the right and left, by the falciform process of the dura mater, a membrane which dips down one to two inches into thla brain, and runs from the root of the nose over to tho nape of the neck. This arrangement renders all the phrenological organs DOUBLE. Thus, as there are two eyes, ears, etc., that when one is diseased, the other can carry forward the functions, so there are two Ic bes to each phrenological organ, one on each side. The brain is divided thus: the feelings occupy that portion commonly covered by the hair, while the forehead is occupied by the intellectual organs. These greater divisions are subdivided into the animal brain, located between and around the ears; the aspiring faculties, which occupy the crown of the head; the moral and religious sentiments, which occupy the top; the physico-perceptives, located over the eyes; and tle reflectives, in the-upper portion of the forehead. The predominance of these respective groups produces both particular shapes, and corresponding traits of character. Thus, when the head projects far back behind the ears, hanging over and downward in the occipital region, it indicates very strong domestic ties and social affections, a love of home, its relations and endearments, and a corresponding high capacity of being happy in the family, and of making the family happy. Very wide and round heads, on the contrary, indicate strong animal and selfish propensities, while thin, narrow heads, indicate a corresponding want of seltishness and anirmality. A head pro. jecting far up at the crown, ind;cates an aspiring, self-elevating disposition, proudness of character, and a desire to be and to do something great; while the flattened crown indicates a want of ambition, energy, and aspiration. A head high, long, and wide upon the top, but narrow between the ears, indicates Causality, moral virtue, much practical goodness, and a corresponding elevation of character; wlile a low or narrow top head indicates a corresponding deficiency of these hulmane and religious susceptibilities. A head wide at the upper part of the temples, indicates a corresponding desire for personal perfection, together with a love of the beautiftll and refined, while narrowness in this region evinces a want of taste, with much coarseness of feeling. Fullness over the eyes indicates excellent practical judgment of matters and things appertaining to property, science, and nature in general; while narrow, straight eyebrows, indicate poor practical judgment of matter, its quality, relations, and uses. Fullness from the root of the nose upward, indicates great practical talent, love of knowledge, desire to see, and ability to do to advantage, together with sprightliness of mind; while a hollow in the middle of the forehead indicates want of memory and inability to show off to advantage. A bold, high forehead, indicates strong reasoning capabilities, while a retiring forehead indicates less soundness, but n:ore availability of talent. 44 THE SELT-TNSTRUCTOR. 23.-THE.qATURAL LANGUAGE OF THE?ACULI1ES.'Phrenology shows that every faculty, when active, throws head and body il the direction of that faculty. Thus. intellect, in the fore part of the head, throws it directly forward, lad produces a forward hanging motion of the head. Hence intellectual men never carry their heads lm ft i i No. 40. WASHINGTON IRVING. backward and upward, but always forward; and logical speakers move their heads in a straight line, usually forward, toward their audience; while vain speakers carry their heads backward. Perceptive intellect, when active, throws out the chin and lower portions of the face; while reflective intellect causes the upper portion of the forehead to hang forward, and draws in the chin, as in the engravings of Franklin, Webster, and other great thinkers Benevolence throws the head and body slightly forward, leaning towaid the object which excites its sympathy; wbileVenevation causes a low bow, which, the world over, is a token of respect; yet, when Veneration is exercised toward the Deity, as An devout prayer, it throws the head UPWARD; and, as we use intellect at the sam.e time, the head is generally directed forward. Ideality throws the head slightly orward, and to cue side, as in Washington Irving, a man as gifted in NATURAL LANGUAGE OF THE FACULTIE$. 45 tasle and imagination as almost any living writer; and, in L.s portrait4 his finger rests upon this faculty; while in Sterne, the finger rests upon Mirthfulness. Very firm men stand straight up and down, inclining not a hair's breadth forward or backward, or to the right or left; hence the expression, " ie is an np-and-down man." And this organ is located exactly on a line with the body. Self:Esteem, located in the back and apper portion of the head, throws the head and body upward and back. ard. Large feeling, pompous persons, always walk in a very dignife, NnO. 45. A CONCEITED SIBIPLETO''oN'. majestic posture, and always throw their heads in the direction of SelfEsteem; whilst approbative persons throw their heads backward, but to the one side or both. The difference between these two organs being comparatively slight, -nly the practical Phrenologist's eye can perfectly distinguish them. There is, moreover, a natural language of money-loving, and that is a leaning forward and turning of the head to oce side, as if in ardent pursuit of something, and ready to grasp it with rtitstretched arms; while Alimentiveness, situated lower down, hugs itseil down to the dainty dish with the greediness of an epicure, better seen than described. The shaKel of the head is the natural language of Combaliveness, and means no, or [ resist you.'Those who are combating earnestly upon politics, or any (other subject, shake the head more or less violently, according to the power of the combative feeling, but always shake it slightly inclining!iackwards; while Destructiveness, inclining forward, causes a shaking if the head slightly forward, and turning to one side. When a,eron who threatens vyo shakes his kead violently, and holds it p.r 46 THE SELF-INSTRUCTOR. tially backward, and to one side, never fear-he is only barking; but whenever he inclines his head to one side, and shakes it violently, that dog will bite, whether possessed of two legs or four. The social affections are located in the back part of the head; and, accordingly, woman being more loving than man, when not under the influence of the other faculties, usually inclines her head backward toward the neck; and when she kisses children, and those whom she loves, always turns the head directly backward, and rolls it from side to side, on the back of the neck. Thus it is that all the various postures assumed by it individually, are expressive of the present or the permanent activity of their respective faculties. No. 44. JONATHAN EDWARDS. 24.-ORGANIC TONE OR QUALITY OF BRAIN. This condition modifies character more than any other. It is, indeed, the summing up of all. It consists of two kinds, original and acquired. The former, inherited from parents, embraces the pristine vigor and power with which the life principle was started, and gives what we will call SNAP; while the latter embraces the existing states of the organism as affected by health or debility, artificial habits-such as dyspeptic and other aftections, caused by injurious qualities and quantities of food, by artificial stimulants, as tea, coffee, tobacco, or alcoholic drinks-the deranged or healthy states of the nervous system; too much or too little exercise, -abor, sleep, breath, etc., etc.; and whatever other conditions are embraced in health and disease, or in any way affect them. Of course, the parental may be good, but acquired poor, or the reverse, according as the subject is strengthening or enfeebling, building up or breaking down Iis physical constitution, by correct or erroneous physiological habits ORGANIC TONE OR QUALITY OF BRAIN. 47 Yet, in most persons, the parental is many hundred per cent. better than the acquired PARENTAL GOOD, OR VERY GOOD, gives correspond'ng innate vigor and energy, or that heart and bottom which wears like iron, and bends, willow-like, without breaking, and performs more with a given size, than greater size, and less inherent "snap;" and gives thoroughness and edge to the mentality, just as good steel, well tempered, does to the tool PARENTAL FAIR gives a good share of the presiding qualities, yet nothing remarkable; with acquired good endures and accomplishes much; without it, soon breaks down.

ACQUIRED FAIR, with parental average, gives fair natural talents, and mental and physical vigor, yet nothing remarkable; will lead a commonplace life, and possess an every-day charcter, memory, etc.; will not set the world on fire, nor be insignificant, but, with cultivation, will do well. ACQUIRED POOR will be unable to put forth its inherent power; is weak and inefficient, though desirous of doing something; with parental good, may take hold resolutely, but soon tires, and finds it impossible to sustain that powerful action with which it naturally commences. 25.-STATES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Disordered nerves produce an irritated, craving, dissatisfied state of mind, and a tendency to depravity in some of its forms, with a half paralyzed, lax, inefficient state of mind and body. 26.-SIZE OF HEAD AS INFITTENCING CH IRACTER. SIZE of head and organs, other things being equal, is the great phrenoc logical condition. Though tape measurements, taken around the head, from Individuality to Philoprogenitiveness, give some idea of the size of brain, the fact that some heads are round, others long, some low, and others high, so modifies these measurements that they do not convey any very correct idea of the actual quantity of brain. Yet these measurements range somewhat as follows. Least size of adults compatible with fair talents, 20i; 201 to 214, moderate; 21i to 22, average; 22 to 22|, full; 221 to 23|, large; above 23|, very large. Female heads, J to i below these averages. LARGE.-One having a large sized brain, with activity average, will possess considerable energy of intellect and feeling, yet seldom manifest it, unless it is brought out by some powerful stimulus, and will be rather too indolent to exert, especially his intellect: with activity full, will be endowed with an uncommon amount of the mental power, and be capable of doing a good deal, yet require considerable to awaken him to that vigorous effort of mind of which he is capable; if his powers are not called out by circumstances, and his organs of practical intellect are only average or full, he may pass through life without attracting notice, or manifesting more than an ordinary share of talent: but if the perceptive faculties are strong, or very strong, and his natural powers put in vigorous requisition, he will manifest a vigor and energy of intellect and feeling quite above mediocrity; be adequate to undertakings which demand originality of mind and force of character, yet, after all, be rather indolent: with activity great, or very great, will combine great power of mind with great activity; exercise a commanding influence over those minds with which he comes in contact; when he enjoys, will enjoy intensely, and when he suffers, suffer equally so; be susceptible of strong excitement, and, with the organs of the propelling powers, and of practical intellect,,arge or very large, will possess all the mental capabilities for conducting a large business; for rising to eminence, if not to pre-eminence; and discover great force cf character aid power of intellect and feeling: with activity moderate, when powerfully excited, will evince considerable energy of intellect and feeling, yet be too indolent and too sluggish to do much; lack clearness and force of idea, and intenseness of feeling; anless SIZE OF HEAD AS INFLUENCING CH &R.

VERY LARGE.-One having a very large head, with activity average or full, on great occasions, or when his powers are thoroughly roused, will be truly great; but upon ordinary occasions, will seldom manifest ally remarkable amount of mind or feeling, and perhaps pass through life with the credit of being a person of good natural abilities and judgment, yet nothing more; with great activity and strength, and large intellectual organs, will be a natural genius, endowed with very superior powers of mind and vigor of intellect; and, even though deprived of the advantages of education, his natural talents will surmount all obstacles, and make him truly talented; with activity vury great, and the organs of practical intellect and of the propelling powers large, or very large, will possess the first order of natural abilities; manifest a clearness and force of intellect which will astonish the world, and a power of feeling which will carry all before him; and, with proper cultivation, enable him to become a bright star in the firmament of intellectual greatness, upon which coming ages may gaze with delight and astonishment. His mental enjoyment will be most exquisite, and his sufferings equally keen. FULL.-One having a full-sized brain, with activity great, or very great, and the organs of practical intellect and of the propelling powers large, or very large, although -s will not possess greatness of intellect, nor a deep, strong mind, will be very clever; have considerable talent, and that so distributed that it will show to be more than it really is; is capable of being a good scholar, doing a fine business, and, with advantages and application, of distinguishing himself somewhat; yet he is inadequate to a great undertaking; cannot sway an extensive influence, nor be really great; with activity Jull, or average, will do only tolerably well, and manifest only a common share of talent; with activity moderate, or small. will neither be nor do much worthy of notice. AVERAGE, with activity great, manifests a quick, clear, sprightly mind and off-hand talents; and is capable of doing a fair business, especially if the stamina is good; with activity very great, and the organs of the propelling powers and of practical intellect large, or very large, is capable of doing a good business, and may pass for a man of fair talent, yet will not be original or prcfound; will be quick of perception; have a good practical understanding; will do well in his sphere, yet never manifest greatness, and out of his sphere, be common-place; with activity only average, will discover only an ordinary amount of intellect; be inadequate to any important undertaking; yet, in a small sphere, or one that requires only a mechanical routine of business, may do well; with moderate or small activity, will hardly have common sense. MODERATE.-One with a head of only moderate size, combined with 3 60 THE BELF-INSTRUCTOR. great or avry great activity, and the organs of the propelling powers and of practical intellect large, will possess a tolerable share of intellect, yet be more showy than sound; with others to plan for and direct him, will execute to advantage, yet be unable to do much alone; will have a very active mind, and be quick of perception, yet, after all, have a contracted intellect; possess only a small mental calibre, and lack momentum, both of mind and character; with activity only average, orfair, will have but a moderate amount of intellect, and even this scanty allowance will be too sluggish for action, so that he will neither suffer nor enjoy much; with activity moderate or small, will be idiotic. SMALL OR VERY SMALL.-One with a small or very small head, no matter what may be the activity of his mind, will be incapable of much intellectual effort; of comprehending even easy subjects; or of ex periencing much pain or pleasure; in short, will be mentally imbecile. 47.-SIZE OF BRAIN AS AFFECTING MENTALITY. Most great men have great heads. Webster's head measures over 24 incnes, and Clay's considerably above 23; and this is about Van Buren's size; Chief Justice Gibson's, the greatest jurist in Pennsylvania, 244; Napoleon's reached nearly or quite to 24, his hat passing easily over the head of one of his officers, which measured 23a; and Hamilton's hat passed over the head of a maln whose head measured 23k. Burke's head was immense, so was Jefferson's; while Franklin's hat passed over the ears of a 24-inch head. Small and average sized heads often astonish us by their brilliancy and learning, and, perhaps, eloquence, yet they %il in that commanding greatness which impresses and sways mind. The phrenological law is, that size, other things being equal, is a measure pf power; yet these other conditions, such as activity, power of motive, %ealth, physiological haBOi etc., increase or diminish the mentality, *en more than siae.
