ble, it is
due to the separation of the convolutions by the furrows or
anfractuosities into which the pia mater descends, making a
substantial separation. But this nice survey of the convolutions and
their boundaries was obviously impossible by cranioscopy, which, at
the best, could only recognize considerable differences of magnitude.
Psychometry alone is capable of minute exploration of functions, the
results of which I published in a large map of the head in 1842.
The chart of Spurzheim needs no further criticism at present. In
contrast with the chart of Anthropology, the reader will observe that
the latter presents the functions of the entire basilar region of the
brain, which are marked upon the face and neck in the most proximate
locations. The catalogue of Spurzheim is as follows:
AFFECTIVE I. PROPENSITIES.--[dagger] Desire to Live.
* Alimentiveness. 1. Destructiveness. 2. Amativeness.
3. Philoprogenitiveness. 4. Adhesiveness. 5. Inhabitiveness.
6. Combativeness. 7. Secretiveness. 8. Acquisitiveness.
9. Constructiveness.
AFFECTIVE II. SENTIMENTS.--10. Cautiousness. 11. Approbativeness.
12. Self-Esteem. 13. Benevolence. 14. Reverence. 15. Firmness.
16. Conscientiousness. 17. Hope. 18. Marvellousness. 19. Ideality.
20. Mirthfulness. 21. Imitation.
INTELLECTUAL I. PERCEPTIVE.--22. Individuality. 23. Configuration.
24. Size. 25. Weight and Resistance. 26. Coloring. 27. Locality.
28. Order. 29. Calculation. 30. Eventuality. 31. Time. 32. Tune.
33. Language.
INTELLECTUAL II. REFLECTIVE.--34. Comparison. 35. Causality.

In this bust we see the psychological functions of the
brain. To state its physiological influence on the
bodily functions would require a separate bust or chart.
ORGANOLOGY OF BUCHANAN, 1842-1887.]
In presenting a psychological map of the brain it is almost impossible
to separate psychology entirely from physiology in the nomenclature,
as the basilar organs relate more to the body than the soul.
Alimentiveness or appetite, Virility, Sensibility, Hearing, Vision,
Turbulence, all imply physical operations. At the same time all the
higher emotions, which we express in psychic terms, have their
physical effects on the body, which are very important and enable us
to understand PSYCHIC THERAPEUTICS, a scienc
