BOOKS ON PHRENOLOGY,
The number of popular and elementary treatises on Phrenology shows that this new science of mind is gaining ground in public estimation generally, as well as amoog, physiologists. Three little publications on the subject lie hereto us.
1. Time Philosophy tf Phrenology Simplified, is, nest to eosin's, the best intioductory work on the subject that we have seen. It contains a concise account and history of the science, taking a comprehensive view of its leading principles and the physiological facts on which they are based, and answering the objections started ; a description of the "organs " and their functions; and a view of the application of phre- nology to mental improvement, education, and the cure of insanity.
2. el Key to Phrenoloy y, is a more succinct and popular abridgment of the outlines of the science; cousisting of a familiar explanation of the nomenclature of the organs, illustrated by a plate, and a brief sketch of the progress and uses of ph: ecology; calculated by its brevity and cheapness for general circulation.
3. Thoughts on Phrenotilly, is an introductory essay on the science generally ; tracing its origin, herding principles, and :advantages to in- dividuals and society; intended to invite the student's attention to the subject.
