    or its final destination. Phrenologists are observers of nature, and as such they examine only the manifesta- tions of the mind and the circumstances under which these take place in this life. To prove Phrenology, a great mass of incontestable facts has been collected. This volume contains philosophical reflections, and in- ferences drawn from phrenological observations. It will be divided into eight sections. In the first I shall make remarks on various systems of mental phil- osophy ;—In the second I shall enumerate the fun- damental powers of the mind which are ascertained by observation and admitted in phrenology, state their aim, the disorders which may result from them, and the consequences of their inactivity; in the third,I shall dis- cuss their origin; in the fourth, the conditions of their manifestations; in the fifth, the religious constitution of man; in the sixth, the moral constitution man; in the seventh, I shall make some practical reflections; and, in the eighth, explain several philosophical expressions ac- cording to the fundamental powers of the mind.
