Excerpt from Strictures on Phrenological Doctrines Upon the Human Intellect: In a Letter Addressed to Dr. Spurzheim

I AT first hesitated to express to you, thus publicly, my doubts and objections concerning the phrenological doctrines which you profess, as I feared it might be disagreeable to your feelings but a little reflection satisfied me that my apprehensions were ill-founded. Superior men, said Ito myself, are too well aware how accessi ble the human mind is to delusion, and they have too much at heart the interest of truth, not to appreciate and welcome all rational objec tions tending to rectify the ideas which they promulgate. Such a thought, sir, put an end to my hesitation, and I immediately made up my mind to address to you the present letter, which, unable as I am at this moment to form a proper estimate of the whole extent of the field that I shall have to explore, may, or may not, be the last I shall have the honour to write to you.
