The phrenologist further notes that the subject’s “Self-Esteem, Combativeness, and Destructiveness” will “be powerfully aided by Language, Wit, and Secretiveness.”
Concluding his report, the article’s author, noting that “every reader may find amusement” in the correspondence between the phrenologist’s assessment of the unknown (and unmet) subject and Shakespeare’s Iago, uses the anecdote to affirm the validity of “this application of the science.”
There is first an analysis of the character into its elements by one phrenologist; then these are handed to another, quite uninformed as to their source, and he, by synthesis, produces a portrait which turns out to be a fac simile of the original. To a reflecting mind, this constitutes striking proof that we do not juggle with the combinations, but that phrenologists have made decided progress in ascertaining philosophically their effects in nature.94
