PURE N () tTo n v The 1 hrenologists seem to have been as!eep for the last fevv months, but it is probable that the lectures of Dr. Sewali professor of Anatomy and Pysiology'in Columb.art College, which hare iusV ap peared, , will rouse the votaries of Spurz he,m from their slumbers. Every new theory or motion runs like wild fire in this country, and like wild fire is soon no more; but n 1S often that a newj theory receives hat canrj,and philosophical examination to which Dr. .Sewali has subjected the doc tnnes of phrenology. . He hasstpted strict ly the leadinV positions of the science, and proceeds to demolish them by anatomical demonstrations, and general reasoning. If it be said that he has not I succeeded in his task, it cannot be denied' that he has per formed with ability. Yre only wish that the gifted Spurzheim, wliose remains now rest in the. cemetery of !
