![tW F7«' hi i a PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME IX. FOR 1847, j OF THK ( AMERICAN PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL, O. S. FOWLER, Editor. \ To reform and perfect Man—to develope,by culture, the original beau-) ties and capabilities of his nature—is a work the most arduous and exalted} ] that can possibly engage human intellect or effort. To do this effectually, { i however, his nature must be known; and since Phrenology, and Physi-'. ) ology imbody his entire constitution, there is no way by which we can | ' so easily become acquainted with ourselves, or for what occupation in life / I we are best qualified, as by the aid of these sciences. ( To these subjects and their various applications, will this Journal be <, ) devoted. It will present, ) I PHRENOLOGY. i Each number will analyze one or more of the Phrenological organs, ? both singly and in their various combinations, illustrated by engravings, '. showing their location. Each number will also contain the Phrenological \ developments and character of some distinguished individual, accompanied S by their likenesses. This department will give just that practical view )of Phrenology which is required in order to fully understand its proper (application. PHYSIOLOGY. To know and obey those laws of life and health, unfolded by these 1 sciences, constitutes the main basis and superstructure of talent, virtue, | and happiness. This department will also be illustrated by engravings. ANIMAL MAGNETISM Will receive its due attention; and our readers will receive through \ this medium, all that is new, interesting, and important. \ WOMAN. \ ) Her character, influence, sphere, and consequent duties—the govern-) > ment and education of children, &c.—will also be presented in this > I Journal. J ( Our field is indeed the world, physical, intellectual, and moral. \ {Human improvement and happiness we shall endeavor to promote, t ) Those, therefore, who are interested in the advancement of our race, and \ > would ameliorate their condition, may do so perhaps more effectually by) ; circulating this Journal, than by any other means; for it will imbody the '• ) principles of all reform.
