Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Read Character

During our thirty years' experience in the prao tical application of scientific rules to character read ing, we have used many different charts, revising old ones year, after year, and adding one improve ment after another. The present work embodies our latest and best ideas on the subject, so far as they can be set forth in this condensed and popular form.

~~ vas printed on a single she~t, the size of our
common note paper, and was sold for a cent. It
simply gave the names of the organs then discovered
by Dr. GALL. The next was larger, and gave
both the nantes rtn(l definitions of t.he organs; still
later, the charts of Drs. GALL and SPURZIIEBI em~
bI'aced all the above, together vith some accollnt of
the Temperarnents. But as it was with th'e invent·
Drs of the skam-engine, the locomotive, and the
steamboat, so it lUlsbeen with phrenologists, Each
succeeding author is SUPI)osed." to have availed himself
of all that has been proved to be true and useful,
adcling thereto his 0"'"11 observations and experience~.
Thus the .improved charts of to'.:day are as unlike
those first printed as are the .1n6dern steamers, locomotives,
and engines to those ~i1l'st invented.
