Excerpt from Lectures on Phrenology: Delivered Before the Young Men's Association for Mutual Improvement of the City of Albany The result of four years' experience in compar ing cerebral development with mental manifesta tion, has convinced me that the doctrine of the Phrenologists, in some of its applications, is true; that certain faculties of the mind are more particu larly resident in certain parts of the brain.
