A GLANCE AT PHILOSOPHY.

PHRENOLOGY.

THIS system, which by its advocates is regarded as embracing the true philosophy of the mind, is not yet admitted among the class of acknowledged sciences. Its main doctrines are, however, generally regarded as true, and as the researches of its propagators have contributed to the accumulation of a large mass of accurate observations, it has doubtless been the occasion of advancing the cause of human knowledge. It may be also stated, that phrenology has furnished us with a technical language, applicable to the various powers and faculties of the mind, which is of great convenience, and enables us to discuss the subtle questions of mental philosophy with greater precision and clearness.

For these reasons, we propose to present our readers with an outline of phrenology, such as it is represented to be by its proselytes, leaving the reader to form his own conclusions as to its claims upon his belief.
