In short, from all the atatiatics we have at command, respecting large and ernsM hesds, including our own private tions emong our acqusintsncee, we have never been able to obtain any presentable conclueion on the point. The opinion of David Scott, the painter, wae thet large heads were generally found in successful men of the world, such es statesmen, ere and the like, end thet thfffneneee ef nervoue tissue requisite for leciuel lives of artists, thinkere and literary men generally connoted email or average of head. opinion, however, will break dewu if applied ie prectiee.

More ewt tlte any conclusion thet ean be come te thie point of eke, seems to be notion heard advanced with respect to the fetei ef heads.

Length of bead from front te beck we have heard an eminent and very ubeerv- men declare to be, according te hie perience, the moet constant physiognomic sign of ability.

Next lo length or depth, hie idee wee that height over the eers, ee la Seott'e head, wae the beet sign, although he bad not found thie nearly eo eaaeetial. To us it appears liet if to the two dimeneioue of length or depth, sod height, aa thus expounded, we add the third dimension of breadth, and if we attach to the three their correepondifig ler meaninge, when used in speaking of inental a deep hpad or a head long from frout to back, or jftim the forehesd to the slgnifiteelof depth or a high head, or a heed rieteg high over the eers, aa significant of nsril elevation; and broed bead, as meaeured acroos and behind the temples, as significant of what called width or generality of view, we shsll have as tolerable a eyetem of practical cranioiogy aa the facte will war- rent, not very diffrrent either from that pounded by the ordinary phreeologieta, tho' they would carry us much farther.
