    ADVERTISEMENT. Tne present volume was put to press before Dr SPURZHEIM’s recent work, “ Phrenology,” appeared ; and not being aware that he intended to publish the Anatomy of the Brain in a separate form, I had arranged to include in the Appendix a Treatise on that subject by Dr A. Comps, with illustrative Plates. The announcement of Dr SpurzHEIM’s in- tention altered this view. Those readers who wish to study the Anatomy, will naturally prefer his Treatise, and, by omitting that subject here, the present volume is sold at a lower price. The reader is therefore re- quested to delete the reference to Plates I. and II. on page 30, and to the Anatomy of the Brain in the Ap- pendix on page 35.
