Excerpt from Notes on the United States of North America, Vol. 2 of 2: During a Phrenological Visit in 1838-9-40 April 6. Therm. 53 . Phrenology. - I met Dr. -, and by pointing out to him how to trace the superior longitudinal commissure of the brain, described by Mr. Solly, which lies above the corpus callosum, and brings the anterior lobe into communication with the upper portions of the middle and posterior lobes, he succeeded in unfolding it very satisfactorily. The brain was in excellent condition. We tried to trace the superficial fibres described by Mr. Solly as passing from the motory track, below the corpora pyramuidalia, to the cerebellum, but were not so successful. In the evening I delivered the last lecture of my second course. The resolutions passed are printed in the Appendix, No. III. I have received an invitation to deliver a second course of lectures in the Stuyvesant Institute, New York, and have agreed to do so. The Banks. - The banks in the southwestern states have suspended cash payments, and rumors are afloat that the banks in Philadelphia will follow their example. Stocks have fallen very much, and there is great commercial embarrassment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
