PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION
256/419

Messrs.

Bumpus and Crane examine him and find a good-sized organ of Acquisitiveness.

Positive fact for Phrenology.
Casts and drawings of A.are multiplied, and the bump does not lose in the act of copying .-- I did not say it gained .-- What do you look so for?
(to the boarders.) Presently B.turns up, a bigger thief than A.

But B.has no bump at all over Acquisitiveness.

Negative fact; goes against Phrenology .-- Not a bit of it.
