The crow (cut 34) has very large Secretiveness and Cautiousness in the
head, as he is known to have in character.
Monkeys, too, bear additional testimony to the truth of phrenological
science. They possess, in character, strong perceptive powers, but weak
reflectives, and powerful propensities, with feeble moral elements.
Accordingly they are full over the eyes, but slope straight back at the
reasoning and moral faculties, while the propensities engross most of
their brain.
SOME MORAL AND REFLECTIVE BRAIN.
[Illustration: No. 37. JACO THE ORANG-OUTANG.]
The ORANG-OUTANG has more forehead than any other animal, both perceptive
and reflective, with some moral sentiments, and accordingly is called the
"half-reasoning man," its Phrenology corresponding perfectly with its
character.
PERCEPTIVES LARGER THAN REFLECTIVES.
THE VARIOUS RACES also accord with phrenological science. Thus, Africans
generally have full perceptives, and large Tune and Language, but retiring
Causality, and accordingly are deficient in reasoning capacity, yet have
excellent memories and lingual and musical powers.

[Illustration: No. 39. INDIAN CHIEF.]
Indians possess extraordinary strength of the propensities and
perceptives, yet have no great moral or inventive power; and, hence, have
very wide, round, conical, and rather low heads.
Indian skulls can always be selected from Caucasian, just by these
developments; while the Caucasian race is superior in reasoning power and
moral elevation to all the other races, and, accordingly, have higher and
bolder foreheads, and more elevated and elongated top heads.
Finally, contrast the massive foreheads of all giant-minded men--Bacons,
Franklins, Miltons, etc., with idiotic heads.
In short, every human, every brutal head, is constructed throughout
strictly on phrenological principles. Ransack air, earth, and water and
not one palpable exception ever has been, ever can be adduced. This
WHOLE-SOUL view of this science precludes the possibility of mistake.
Phrenology is therefore a PART AND PARCEL OF NATURE--A UNIVERSAL FACT.
LARGE AND SMALL INTELLECTS.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PHRENOLOGY.
All truth bears upon its front unmistakable evidence of its divine origin,
in its philosophical consistency, fitness, and beauty, whereas all untruth
