eat superiority of the form in which it is presented
by Dr. Buchanan, whether we regard its practical accuracy or its
philosophical excellence."--_American Magazine of Homoeopathy_.
"The author has long been known as a distinguished Professor of
Physiology, whose name is identified with one of the most remarkable
discoveries of the age, the impressibility of the brain.... We are
confident Buchanan's 'Anthropology' will soon supersede the
fragmentary systems of Gall and Spurzheim, the metaphysicians and
phrenologists."--_Daily Times, Cincinnati_.
"Beyond all doubt it is a most extraordinary work, exhibiting the
working of a mind of no common stamp. Close students and hard
thinkers will find in it a rich treat, a deep and rich mine of
thought."--_Gospel Herald, Cincinnati_.
"They have had sufficient evidence to satisfy them that Dr. Buchanan's
views have a rational, experimental foundation, and that the subject
opens a field of investigation second to no other in immediate
interest, and in the promise of important future results to science
and humanity."--_Report of New York Committee (WM. CULLEN BRYANT,
Chairman)_.
"If he has made a single discovery in physiology, he has made more
than any previous explorer of that science, in furnishing us this key
to the whole of its principles, by his cerebral and corporeal
experiments."--_Report of the Faculty of Indiana University_.
"No person of common discernment who has read Dr. Buchanan's writings
or conversed with him in relation to the topics which they treat, can
have failed to recognize in him one of the very foremost thinkers of
the day. He is certainly one of the most charming and instructive men
to whom anybody with a thirst for high speculation ever
listened."--_Louisville Journal (edited by PRENTICE and SHIPMAN)_.
"To Dr. Buchanan is due the distinguished honor of being the first
individual to excite the organs of the brain by agencies applied
externally directly over them, before which the discoveries of Gall,
Spurzheim, or Sir Charles Bell--men who have been justly regarded as
benefactors of their race--dwindle into comparative insignificance.
This important discovery has given us a key to man's nature, moral,
intellectual, and physical."--_Democratic Review, New York_.
