lshed by Marsh, Capen, Lyon s Webb.


1t is an admirable production, worthy of


its distinguished author, and we regret


that its publication has been so long de-


layed. In the following passage the i'm


por'ancc of Phrenology as branch of


education is well described -Bost. pap.


GLOW then may generation be trained
which shall believe in the adaptation of man :
mature to the christian morality; which shall
read the history OF the past without having
IT'S faith in human virtue blighed, It's scns-
hlIltles to the true, the refined, and the holy .
deadened; and its hopes in the future blast
led and cut off! With all Difference to the
judgment OF this assembly, ! answer, by
teaching to the young, phrenolosy. Gave
them an early, and it will be an abuiing COLI
viction that certain faculties exist. and are
the fountains Of all human action. Lead
them to trace their spheres Of activity, and
to distinguish between their uses and abuses
Open up to their perception the superior
authority and governing power OF the moral
and religious sentiments; and render them
,amiiar with the objects of intellect; teach
them that it is given to enable us to acquire
knowledge Of all that God has Instituted
which 1t behovcs us 20 know, that we may
apply our faculties Alright Finally Train
them to the habit o! tracing misery to de-
paftuseS from the proper uses OF the lacu-
ties, and enjoyment to their uses, and you
may then present the pages of history to
their consideration, not only without danger,
but with direct advantage.


"They will then read in them the records
of the animal propensties struggling to reach
happiness unguided by the moral sentiments !;
'aboring to establish empires founded on
force, fraud, violence and injustice; but
constantly failing in their schemes, and pro
duclns only wretchedness and disappoint-
ment Youthful minds thus enlightened,
will strip the conqueror of his halo of glory
and see in him the propensities combined
with mighty intellect, devasiing the mansions
OF the peaceful and the good, and imnolating
