Phrenology Vindicated, and Antiphrenology Unmasked (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Phrenology Vindicated, and Antiphrenology Unmasked

Is any one inclined to remark, that these are charges weighty in themselves, and of serious import; and that therefore they ought not to be preferred, without grave reflection, and a full conviction that they are founded in truth? My reply is brief. I am aware of all this, have carefully weighed my responsibility in the matter, and strictly conformed to the requirement just expressed. I [not only know that the charges are weighty; my design has been to make them so, and to render them produc tive of corresponding effects. And some of these effects are, not only to sustain truth, but to imprint an indelible brand of disrespect on a pamphleteer, who has delibe rately conspired to suppress it. I have ofcourse reflected on the charges dispassionately and gravely, and am pre pared to support them by incontestable proof. And a large proportion of that proof will consist of extracts and fair inferences from the work, against which my char ges are directed.
