Excerpt from The Phrenological Journal, and Magazine of Moral Science, for the Year 1838, Vol. 11: From Dec., 1837, to Oct., 1838 The two first sections do not seem to require much explanation. They will be especially devoted to the elucidation and improve ment of the science of Phrenology and its practical applications. But cases and papers relating to the structure and functions of the nervous system in general, whether in a state of health or disease, will not be considered as beyond our proper sphere; and disquisitions on ethical subjects, by others, will be held admissible, even when they are discussed without direct refe rence to organization; although we should certainly much prefer to have the physical conditions kept closely in view.
