Excerpt from The Connection Between Physiology and Intellectual PhilosophyBut to name the authors I have consulted, and the persons to whom I owe obligations, would be mere ostentation. It is enough to say that I have not knowingly neglected any source of accessible information. While I have striven to make these pages familiar and intelligible to all, I have never been led to adduce a doubtful in preference to a sounder theory, by the greater ease With which the more questionable doctrine might be expressed. At the same time I have avoided entering on any con troverted subject, and therefore I have neither engaged with the interesting speculations of the phrenologists, nor with the excito-motory system of Dr. Marshall Hall, powerfully and attractively as it has been advocated by that philosopher, by Mr. Grainger, and other eminent physiologists.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
