I love Weybridge too very much.... It seems to me that memory is the special organ of pain, for even when it recalls our pleasures, it recalls only the past, and half their sweetness becomes bitter in the process. I have a tenacious and acute memory, and, as the phrenologists affirm, no hope, and feel disposed to lament that, not having both, I have either.
During the time the Stangersons lived in America they were very intimate with Arthur Rance, who was one of the most distinguished phrenologists of the new world. Owing to new experiments, he had made enormous strides beyond the science of Gall and Lavater.
I had also learned from her that Mars was under a military government, and that the military class had absolute control of the planet. I was somewhat startled, then, in looking at the head and center of the great military system of Mars, to find in his appearance a striking conformation of the speculations of our terrestrial phrenologists.
If phrenologists are right in dividing the human brain into compartments, wherein the different intellectual powers are said to be located, I should think that some of those chambers lying nearest to the top of the skull are apt to freeze at a temperature of forty below zero, in which case the perfect working of the half-paralysed machine can scarcely be looked for.
"Quite satisfied," Linley said and left the room. His mother-in-law looked after him with a familiar expression of opinion, and a smile of supreme contempt. "You fool!" Only two words; and yet there seemed to be some hidden meaning in them relating perhaps to what might happen on the next day which gently tickled Mrs. Presty in the region assigned by phrenologists to the sense of self-esteem.
The proper function of 'Supernaturality or Wonder, according to Phrenologists, is to create a belief in the reality of supernatural beings, and begets fondness for news, particularly if extravagant.
The development of what we phrenologists call, for the sake of convenience, the organs of tune and time just over and near the side of the eye the fulness of the eyes, the exquisite mobility of the mouth, are fairly abno-or-r-mal," and here the learned professor's whisper made one's flesh creep.
Her fair hair was drawn back 'a la Chinoise' from a white forehead resembling that of a German Madonna; it was one of those foreheads, slightly and delicately curved, which phrenologists tell us indicate reflection and enthusiasm. But Giselle, without thanking Jacqueline for the chocolate, exclaimed at once: "Mon Dieu! What has been the matter with you?"
Joachim felt no pain, but when he got up and put on his cap to go home, his head seemed almost too large for it. Perhaps he wanted a new cap, but the phrenologists would tell you he had got the organ of Imitation. He did not thoroughly understand what the Genie said, but he was convinced that something had been done towards making him like to the young King.
The limitations of human responsibility have never been properly studied, unless it be by the phrenologists. You know from my lectures that I consider phrenology, as taught, a pseudo-science, and not a branch of positive knowledge; but, for all that, we owe it an immense debt.
