Phrenology is a system of Mental Philosophy. It enquires into the quality and condition of the mind, estimating the faculties, sentiments, and propensities of the individual, without being deceived by personal esteem or the voice of partial praise; for as it too frequently occurs that minds of the highest order are more or less under the influence of self love, or a desire for the admiration of others, so are they blinded to their own weaknesses and in some measure rendered incapable of acknowledging their faults even to themselves. This defect, a defect of the race rather than of the individual, presents an effectual barrier. | Christian Phrenology by Joseph Bunney 1 CHRISTIAN PHRENOLOGY JOSEPH BL1NNEY Christian Phrenology by Joseph Bunney The Project Gutenberg EBook of Christian Phrenology by Joseph Bunney This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
