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.

"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.

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)_.

This important discovery has given us a key to man's nature, moral, intellectual, and physical."--_Democratic Review, New York_. "THERAPEUTIC SARCOGNOMY." "In this work we have the rich results of half a century of original thought, investigation, and discovery. Upon the psychic functions of the brain, Professor
