American Phrenological
! Journal. ^
In the present state of tho pub ic mind,
'? probably no other instrument or means whatr
ev?r, can be rendered efficacious in proniul- ?
I gating, defending, and establishing the prin.
j ciples of Phrenology, as a wen conoucieu j
Journal. It is unnecessary to state the par- j
ticu.'ar advantages which a regular periodical <
' , possesses over all other agencies; or to urge
" i the importance of having, in this country, such
* i a medium as it affords to make known to the
j public the facts and principles of the science.
The objects of this Journal 'are to preserve
? from oblivion the most interesting of the very ?
i numerous facts confirmatory and illustrative of
s the truth of phrenology; to record the history w
3 and progress of the science; to 6how its true
3 i bearings on the education (physicial, intellect
" , tual, and moral); on the nature and treatment , i
* of insanity; on jurisprudence and criminal leg- !. ~
? islation; on mental and moial philosophy; and
j- to point out various applications to the im- J
provement of the institutions, manners, and Jl
? systoins of society j of
j Original essays on phrenological subjects als
s will form part of the Journal, and also reviews
f I of phrenological and anti-phrenological works;
f j and, as often as practicable, we shall transfer |
i to its pages, the best articles in the fcdinburg m.
- Phrenological Journal. There are already en - \ *
i listed as contributors to the work, many of *
1 the ablest writers and b- st penologists in the !
' country, as well as several Ion ign correspon- 1
dents. We hope, as it progresses, to embody
' in its pages nearly ail the matter published on i ?
P the science which is of particular interest to !
. the puiilic, or can be ot permanent value for fu- j "J
turc refeience. U e shall frequently accoin tl
pany our facts and delineations of charactej Ha
with illustrative cuts.
It is not with the desire or expectation of Ge
gain that it is offered to the community, but all
from far higher considerations?Irom a desire
to know and to promulate Irulh. It will be j
obvious to all, that a work of this character
must depend chiefly for support on the voluntury
i patronage and co operations of those who are
interested in the subjects it discusses, and it is d'
hoped that the friends of the science will not
| j on!y encourage it by their oxen subscriptions,
I but that they will make efforts to extend its
circulation in the various parts of the country
' where they may reside. No pains or expense O
f will be spared on the part of the proprietors to ^
render the work worthy of a liberal support.
