Excerpt from A Glance at Philosophy, Mental, Moral, and Social This system, which by its advocates is regarded as embracing the true philosophy of the mind, is not yet almitted among the class of acknowledged sciences. Its main doctrines are, however, generally regarded as true, and as the researches of its propagators have contributed to the accumulation of a large mass of accurate observations, it has doubtless been the occa sion of advancing the cause of human knowledge. It may be also stated, that phrenology has furnished us with a technical language, applicable to the various powers and faculties of the mind, which is of great convenience, and enables us to discuss the subtle ques tions of mental philosophy with greater precision and clearness.
