LENT, or the fact that some are remarkable for sense, but
poor in memory, or the reverse; some forgetting names, but remembering
faces; some great mechanics, but poor speakers, or the reverse; others
splendid natural singers, but no mechanics, etc., etc., conducts us to a
similar conclusion.

INJURIES OF THE BRAIN furnish still more demonstrative proof. If
Phrenology be true, to wound and inflame Tune, for example, would create a
singing disposition; Veneration, a praying desire; Cautiousness,
groundless fears; and so of all the other organs. And thus it is. Nor can
this class of facts be evaded. They abound in all phrenological works,
especially periodicals, and drive and clench the nail of proof.

COMPARATIVE PHRENOLOGY, or the perfect coincidence existing between the
developments and characters of animals, constitutes the highest proof of
all. Since man and brute are fashioned upon one great model, those same
great optical laws governing the vision of both, that same principle of
muscular contraction which enables the eagle to soar aloft beyond our
vision, and the whale to furrow and foam the vasty deep, and enabling man
to walk forth in the conscious pride of his strength, and thus of all
their other common functions; of course, if man is created in accordance
with phrenological laws, brutes must also be; and the reverse. If, then,
this science is true of either, it must be true of both; must pervade all
forms of organization. What, then, are the facts?

Phrenology locates the animal propensities at the SIDES of the head,
between and around the ears; the social affections in its BACK and lower
portion; the aspiring faculties in its CROWN; the moral on its TOP; and
the intellectual on the FOREHEAD; the perceptives, which, related to
matter, OVER THE EYES; and the reflectives in the UPPER part of the
forehead. (See cut No. 14.)

Now since brutes possess at least only weak moral and reflective
faculties, they should, if Phrenology were true, have little top head, and
thus it is. Not one of all the following drawings of animals, have much
brain in either the reflective or moral region. Almost all their mentality
consists of the ANIMAL PROPENSITIES, and nearly all their brain is BETWEEN
and AROUND THEIR EARS, just where, according to Phrenology, it should be.
Yet the skulls of all human beings rise high above the eyes and ears, and
are long on top, that is, have intellectual and moral ORGANS, as we know
they possess t
