The word Phrenology, returned I, comes
from two Greek words, Phren signifying
mind , and I\o^os a discourse. I believe in

Wl.at is the general weight of the human

Men, who are celebrated for their talents
and learning, often have remarkably large
beads. James A. Bayard had the largest
head in the Stale of Delaware. Lord By

out his brain in Greece had nearly one
third more than common men. The célé
