Excerpt from Catalogue of Human Crania, in the Collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia: Based Upon the Third Edition of Dr. Morton's "Catalogue of Skulls," &C
The primary motive in making the following Collection, has been to compare the characters of the cranium in the different races of men, and these again with the skulls of the inferior animals; not only in reference to exterior form, but also to internal capacity as indicative of the size of the brain.
Beside these strictly Ethnographic objects, some others of a different and subordinate kind have been had in view; such as pathological condi tions of the skull from diseases and from wounds; remarkable develop ments illustrative of the principles of Phrenology, and preternatural growths of every description.
