"It is not the size alone, but the quality of an organ, which determines its degree of power." Oh! oh! I see .-- The argument may be briefly stated thus by the Phrenologist: "Heads I win, tails you lose." Well, that's convenient.
It must be confessed that Phrenology has a certain resemblance to the Pseudo-sciences.

I did not say it was a Pseudo-science.
I have often met persons who have been altogether struck up and amazed at the accuracy with which some wandering Professor of Phrenology had read their characters written upon their skulls.

Of course the Professor acquires his information solely through his cranial inspections and manipulations .-- What are you laughing at?
(to the boarders.)--But let us just suppose, for a moment, that a tolerably cunning fellow, who did not know or care anything about Phrenology, should open a shop and undertake to read off people's characters at fifty cents or a dollar apiece.

Let us see how well he could get along without the "organs." I will suppose myself to set up such a shop.

I would invest one hundred dollars, more or less, in casts of brains, skulls, charts, and other matters that would make the most show for the money.
