l its combinations, might be played upon for a whole evening.
Some of the organs are susceptible enough of musical treatment:
"Philoprogenitiveness," or the instinct of paternal and maternal
affection, but more especially of the latter, has its melody in the
music of nature, as heard in the nursery, or issuing therefrom, mellowed
by distance--the mellower from that cause the better. The effect in
question MRS. HAMILTON (who appears to be a Scottish lady) might produce
by the judicious employment--it would have to be judicious--of the
bagpipes. "Acquisitiveness" rejoices in the jingling of money, which
might be expressed by means of the triangles, introducing the
appropriated air of "_Still so gently o'er me stealing_." "Self-esteem"
would blow its own trumpet, of course; the want of it being expressed by
transition to a minor key. "Destructiveness" could be disposed of by a
crash. "Combativeness" might come out in the drums and fifes. "Firmness"
might persist in a violoncello accompaniment. "Cautiousness," slow and
sure, would speak in a gentle _adagio_. A lively _allegretto_ would
represent "Wit." The music of Masonry would supply some hints for
"Constructiveness." There are organs, however, which may rather puzzle a
composer. No harmonious measures that one can well imagine would give
any idea of "Form" or "Size," and "Locality" would seem to be quite out
of the musical way.

MRS. HAMILTON informs the public, that she will lecture on living heads
from the audience, assisted by the celebrated MRS. CARTER, "the JENNY
LIND of Scotland." Hence, it seems that the music will be, partly at
least, vocal. It may be surmised that MRS. HAMILTON'S lecture consists
principally of recitative, which would be more suitable than an _aria_,
a _bravura_, a _canzonet_, or a part in a duet, to the statement of
anatomical and physiological facts. MRS. CARTER, we are told, will sing
Scotch, English, and Irish songs. There is an Irish song called
"_Donnybrook Fair_," which alludes strongly to the shillelagh, and may
therefore be conceived to be very pertinent to bumps. England,
doubtless, has ballads adapted to various organs besides the grinding;
and in addition to "_John Andersen my Jo_," and many other songs of the
affective faculties, there is a particular Scotch song that might be
very useful to a lecturer on Phrenology. MRS. HAMILTON, in lecturing on
living heads, may be obliged to describe the upper story of some
gentleman as being si
