To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be incorrect however, to suppose that every man who has a large head, must ne- cessarily be possessed of a superior intellect, because ma- ny causes besides the volume of the brain, may increase the size of the head. But it is nevertheless very rare that a man distinguished for his mental faculties, ,is not found to have a large head." That the strength, and even the kind of intellectual power is indicated in a great degree by the size and form of the head, is a doctrine of no recent d...ate, but was most distinctly recognized by the ancient artists. The old sculptors never committed the solecism of putting the head of a philosopher on the shoulders of a gladiator ; and the character of their Deities, of Jove the Thunderer, of Apollo the patron of the muses and the arts, of Mars the God of brute force, is strikingly indicated by the form of the head, no less than by the features of the face. In the paintings of the modern masters, the same principle has been steadily kept in view, though the doctrines of phrenology never came to their ears.
