Excerpt from The Christian Physician, Vol. 1: And Anthropological Magazine So with the mind. The mind can be conceived as existing independent of a brain. But the mind cannot act in this world without a brain: and if it cannot act without a brain, is it not' rational to infer that the different manifestations of mind must be dependent upon different functions, being possessed by different parts of the brain? Phrenologists have discovered these, and the figures on page 9, represent these various parts, commonly called organs, which may be viewed as so many receiving vessels of mind.
