Illustrated with over One Hundred Portraits and Diagrams.
12mo, extra cloth Price, $1.60.
This contribution to the science of mind has been made in response to the demand of the time for a work embodying the grand principles of Phrenology, as they are understood and applied to-day by the advanced exponents of mental philosophy. The authors state in their Preface: "In preparing this volume it has been the aim to meet an existing want, viz. That of a treatise which not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental science known as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to anatomy and physiology as those sciences are represented to-day by standard authority."
The work is divided into eighteen chapters, which are entitled as follows:
General Principles. Of the Temperaments. Structure of the Brain and Skull. Classification of the Faculties. The Physico-Preservative, or Selfish Organs. Of the Intellect. The Semi-Intellectual Faculties. The Organs of the Social Functions. The Selfish Sentiments. The Moral and Religious Sentiments. How to Examine Heads. How Character is Manifested. The Action of the Faculties. The Relation of Phrenology to Metaphysics and Education. Value of Phrenology As an Art. Phrenology and Physiology. Objections and Confirmations by the Physiologists. Phrenology in General Literature.
In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, and abounds with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms.
It is printed on fine paper, and substantially bound in cloth, and contains 325 pages. 12mo. Price $1.50, by mail post-paid.

By BENJAMIN WILSON.
One Vol., 12mo, 884 pp. Price, extra cloth, $4; Lib. binding, $5.
We have here a Greek Text acknowledged to be one of the best, which Greek scholars will find of importance, while the unlearned have an almost equal chance with those who are acquainted with the original, by having an interlinear, literal, word-for-word English translation. On the right hand of each page there is a column containing a special rendering of the translation, including the labors of many talented critics and translators, and in this column the emphatic signs are noted by which the Greek words of emphasis are designated, which the common and are new version of the New Testament fail to give. The adopting of the ensigns of emphasis give a certainty and intensity to the passages where they occur which can not be had without them. In addition to this there are numerous footnotes and references, making it on the whole one of the most valuable aids to Bible study yet published.
OPINIONS OF THE CLERGY.The following extracts from a letters received by the publishers will go far to show in what the light the "Emphatic Diaglott" is regarded by the clergy:
We give sample pages of the work that every one may form a correct idea of the plan of publication. Sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price.
