- "To teach learners those organic conditions which indicate character is the first object of this manual. And to render it accessible to all, it condenses facts and conditions, rather than elaborates arguments--because to expound Phrenology is its highest proof--states laws and results, and leaves them upon their naked merits; embodies recent discoveries, and crowds into the fewest words and pages just what learners need to know, and hence requires to be studied rather than merely read. "Short, yet clear," is its motto. Its analysis of the faculties and numerous engravings embody the results of the very extensive observation and experience of the authors. To record character, is its second object. In doing this, it describes those organic conditions which affect and indicate character in seven degrees of power-very large, large, full, average, moderate, small, and very small--indicated by the seven numerals 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1--and refers those who have their physiological and phrenological conditions correctly marked in the accompanying table, to those paragraphs which both describe themselves, and also contain specific directions how to perfect their characters and improve children"--Preface.
