Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Library of the University of California
If this view be correct, a proper investigation of the subject is important equally in a physiological and moral point of view.
We are indebted to Dr Gall for the discovery that the cerebellum is the organ of the sexual instinct; and fortunately the evidence by which this proposition may be proved is easily accessible, and not difficult of application. The phrenologists of this country, however, have hitherto been precluded, by the peculiar nature of the details, from presenting them to the consideration either of physiologists or moralists. They could not be introduced with propriety into works on the general doctrines of Phrenology, because these were intended for the perusal of both sexes, and of persons of all ages and conditions; yet the non-presentment of them was attended with many disadvantages. Much valuable information was thereby withheld from that class who had an interest to obtain it.
