 The Manchester, N Y.,) Democratmakes the subioined extracts from George Combe's work on the United States, written during his visit to this country in 1898, '39 and 40 They will be read with interest as the con- clusions of one of the most philosophical minds of the age, acting with perfect fairness and impartialty, and endeavoring to test the correctness of a lavorite system by using 1t to estimate the mental characteristics of men of marked dispositions. Whatever may be thought of phrenology in its details, it can scarcely be denied that Mr. Combe is won derfullv correct in his impressions relative to Webster and Clay. The portraits he has oiven are true to nature. Had the writer been able to study their actions on the subjects for wears, he could not have delineated their moral and intellectual qualities more faith fully: and if the word of foreign authors is to be received on such questions, we would ratherhave the opinion of foneman like George Combe, calm, reneeting, philosophical and free from prejudice as he is well known to he. than that of scores of such people as Featherstonhaugh. Mir. Combe says of Clay:

 ssThe anterior lobe of his brain is long and high, the middle perpendicular portion pre- dominating. He seems to have large acquis- itiveness and considerable ideallly In hlm also self-esteen and frnness are large. The coronal region rises moderately high above cautiousness and causality, and the head al toaether is high and long rather than broad It is of ample size His temperament IS her vous-sanqliine, with little bilious. He l: tall and slender, and apparently between Ct and 70. This combination indicates grea natural vivacity, readiness of apprehension facility of illustration, with force of charac. ter; but there are two defects in the bralg which will prevent such an indisidaal iron on rising to the first class of minds. Causallty and the moral organs do not possess th' highest development. Men thus constituted do not sufficiently appreciate the influence Q the moral sentiments as . natural fqaeef' no do they trace the causes with which they deal to their first elements, nor follow them t their remote consequences"
