PHRENOLOGY
The public are being educated to a better knowledge of Phrenology
by the efforts that are constantly being made by the publishers
of the Phrenological Journal, that staunch old monthly which has
been published now in New York for forty years, and during all
this time has lost none of its vigor, and has attained a much
wider circulation than its technical name would indicate. The
publishers announce now a great reduction in price-from three
dollars to two dollars per year-and in connection with this a
Phrenological bust as a premium to each subscriber. This bust is
a model symbolical head, made nearly life-size, of plaster of
Paris, so labeled as to show the exact location of all
Phrenological organs. It is a handsome ornament, well adapted for
the mantel-piece, center table, library or office. With the aid
of this and the key which accompanies it, together with the
series of articles commence in the January number of the
Phrenological Journal, on practical Phrenology, each person can
become quite familiar with the location of the different
Phrenological organs. It is sent by express, carefully packed, to
every subscriber to the Journal, who sends in addition to two
dollars, the subscription price, twenty-five cents extra for
boxing and packaging, or No. 2, a smaller size will be sent by
mail, post paid, on the same terms. Readers who desire a more
complete description, together with the prospects of the
Phrenological Journal, should send their address on a postcard or
accept the publisher’s offer, and send ten cents-half price
for a sample number of the Journal to S. R. Wells & Co.,
Publishers, 737 Broadway, New York.
