+
+ OBSERVATIONS ON THE SKULL OF BURNS,
+ BY
+ GEORGE COMBE.
+
+
+Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759, and died at Dumfries on 21st
+July 1796, in the 37th year of his age, and, on the 26th, was interred in
+St Michael's Churchyard. Eighteen years afterwards, a Mausoleum was
+erected by subscription to his memory in that cemetery; and, on the 19th
+September 1815, his remains were privately exhumed and transferred to the
+vault attached to it. Mrs Burns, the Poet's widow, having died on 26th
+March 1834, the vault was opened for the purpose of depositing her remains
+beside those of her husband; and the gentlemen who took charge of the
+proceedings, being aware of the anxiety which had long been generally felt
+to obtain a Cast of the Poet's Skull, resolved to avail themselves of the
+opportunity to gratify this desire. The consent of the relatives having
+been obtained, Mr M'Diarmid, the Editor of the _Dumfries Courier_, went
+with several other gentlemen to the vault, and successfully effected their
+purpose.
+
+The following description is written by Mr Archibald Blacklock, Surgeon:
+"The cranial bones were perfect in every respect, if we except a little
+erosion of their external table, and firmly held together by their
+sutures; even the delicate bones of the orbits, with the trifling
+exception of the _os unguis_ in the left, were sound and uninjured by
+death and the grave. The superior maxillary bones still retained the four
+most posterior teeth on each side, including the dentes sapientiƦ, and all
+without spot or blemish; the incisores, cuspidati, &c., had, in all
+probability, recently dropped from the jaw, for the alveoli were but
+little decayed. The bones of the face and palate were also sound. Some
+small portions of black hair, with a very few grey hairs intermixed, were
+observed while detaching some extraneous matter from the occiput. Indeed,
+nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the
+bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has
+so long been desiderated by Phrenologists--a correct model of our immortal
+Poet's head; and in order to accomplish this in the most accurate and
+satisfactory manner, every particle of sand or other foreign body was
+carefully washed off, and the plaster-of-Paris applied with all the tact
+and accuracy of an experienced artist. The Cast is admirably taken, and
+cannot fail to prove highly interesting to Phrenologists and others.
+
+"Having completed our intention, the Skull, securely enclosed in a leaden
+case, was again committed to the earth precisely where we found it.

+
+_The scale of the organs indicates their relative proportions to each
+other; 2 is Idiotcy--10 Moderate--14 Full--18 Large--and 20 very Large._
+
+
+The cast of a Skull does not show the temperament of the individual, but
+the portraits of Burns indicate the bilious and nervous temperaments--the
+sources of strength, activity, and susceptibility; and the descriptions
+given by his contemporaries of his beaming and energetic eye, and the
+rapidity and impetuosity of his manifestations, establish the inference
+that his brain was active and susceptible.
+
+Size in the brain, other conditions being equal, is the measure of mental
+power. The Skull of Burns indicates a large brain. The length is 8, and
+the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22-1/4 inches.
+These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, _including
+the integuments_, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed.
+
+The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and
+activity.
+
+The portions of the brain which manifest the animal propensities are
+uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action
+under their influence. The group of organs manifesting the domestic
+affections (Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is
+large; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head.
+
+The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking
+great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation.
+
+Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer
+considerable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary.
+
+Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample
+endowment, although the first is less than the other two; these feelings
+give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the
+esteem of others. The first quality will not be so readily conceded to
+Burns as the second and third, which, indeed, were much stronger; but the
+Phrenologist records what is presented by nature, in full confidence that
+the manifestations, when the character is correctly understood, will be
+found to correspond with the development, and he states that the brain
+indicates considerable love of property.
+
+The organs of the moral sentiments are also largely developed. Ideality,
+Wonder, Imitation, and Benevolence, are the largest in size. Veneration
+also is large. Conscientiousness, Firmness, and Hope, are full.
+
+The Knowing organs, or those of perceptive intellect, are large; and the
+organs of Reflection are also considerable, but less than the former.
+Causality is larger than Comparison, and Wit is less than either.
+
+The Skull indicates the combination of strong animal passions, with
+equally powerful moral emotions. If the natural morality had been less,
+the endowment of the propensities is sufficient to have constituted a
+character of the most desperate description. The combination, as it
+exists, bespeaks a mind extremely subject to contending emotions--capable
+of great good or great evil--and encompassed with vast difficulties in
+preserving a steady, even, onward course of practical morality.
+
+In the combination of very large Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness,
+with very large Benevolence and large Ideality, we find the elements of
+that exquisite tenderness and refinement, which Burns so frequently
+manifested, even when at the worst stage of his career. In the combination
+of great Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Self-Esteem, we find the
+fundamental qualities which inspired "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and
+similar productions.
+
+The combination of large Secretiveness, Imitation, and the Perceptive
+organs, gives the elements of his dramatic talent and humour. The Skull
+indicates a decided talent for Humour, but less for Wit. The public are
+apt to confound the talents for Wit and Humour. The metaphysicians,
+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.
+
+An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be
+moderate in size; but when the dimensions of the anterior lobe, in both
+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it
+gives an appearance of narrowness to the forehead which is not real. This
+is the cause, also, why Benevolence appears to lie farther back than
+usual. An anterior lobe of this magnitude indicates great Intellectual
+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.
+
+The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.
+
+The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.
+
+The combination of Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness, Love of Approbation, and
+Conscientiousness, is the source of his keen feelings in regard to
+pecuniary independence. The great power of his Animal Propensities would
+give him strong temptations to waste; but the combination just mentioned
+would impose a powerful restraint. The head indicates the elements of an
+economical character; and it is known that he died free from debt,
+notwithstanding the smallness of his salary.
+
+No Phrenologist can look upon this head, and consider the circumstances in
+which Burns was placed, without vivid feelings of regret. Burns must have
+walked the earth with a consciousness of great superiority over his
+associates in the station in which he was placed--of powers calculated for
+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach--and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.
+
+The Drawings of the Skull are ably executed by GEORGE HARVEY, Esq., S.A.

+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.
+
+An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be
+moderate in size; but when the dimensions of the anterior lobe, in both
+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it
+gives an appearance of narrowness to the forehead which is not real. This
+is the cause, also, why Benevolence appears to lie farther back than
+usual. An anterior lobe of this magnitude indicates great Intellectual
+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.
+
+The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.
+
+The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.
+
+The combination of Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness, Love of Approbation, and
+Conscientiousness, is the source of his keen feelings in regard to
+pecuniary independence. The great power of his Animal Propensities would
+give him strong temptations to waste; but the combination just mentioned
+would impose a powerful restraint. The head indicates the elements of an
+economical character; and it is known that he died free from debt,
+notwithstanding the smallness of his salary.
+
+No Phrenologist can look upon this head, and consider the circumstances in
+which Burns was placed, without vivid feelings of regret. Burns must have
+walked the earth with a consciousness of great superiority over his
+associates in the station in which he was placed--of powers calculated for
+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach--and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.
+
+The Drawings of the Skull are ably executed by GEORGE HARVEY, Esq., S.A.

+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h1>OBSERVATIONS ON THE SKULL OF BURNS,</h1>
+<h3>BY</h3>
+<h2>GEORGE COMBE.</h2>
+
+<p>Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759, and died at Dumfries on 21st
+July 1796, in the 37th year of his age, and, on the 26th, was interred in
+St Michael's Churchyard. Eighteen years afterwards, a Mausoleum was
+erected by subscription to his memory in that cemetery; and, on the 19th
+September 1815, his remains were privately exhumed and transferred to the
+vault attached to it. Mrs Burns, the Poet's widow, having died on 26th
+March 1834, the vault was opened for the purpose of depositing her remains
+beside those of her husband; and the gentlemen who took charge of the
+proceedings, being aware of the anxiety which had long been generally felt
+to obtain a Cast of the Poet's Skull, resolved to avail themselves of the
+opportunity to gratify this desire. The consent of the relatives having
+been obtained, Mr M'Diarmid, the Editor of the <i>Dumfries Courier</i>, went
+with several other gentlemen to the vault, and successfully effected their
+purpose.</p>
+
+<p>The following description is written by Mr Archibald Blacklock, Surgeon:
+"The cranial bones were perfect in every respect, if we except a little
+erosion of their external table, and firmly held together by their
+sutures; even the delicate bones of the orbits, with the trifling
+exception of the <i>os unguis</i> in the left, were sound and uninjured by
+death and the grave. The superior maxillary bones still retained the four
+most posterior teeth on each side, including the dentes sapienti&aelig;, and all
+without spot or blemish; the incisores, cuspidati, &amp;c., had, in all
+probability, recently dropped from the jaw, for the alveoli were but
+little decayed. The bones of the face and palate were also sound. Some
+small portions of black hair, with a very few grey hairs intermixed, were
+observed while detaching some extraneous matter from the occiput. Indeed,
+nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the
+bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has
+so long been desiderated by Phrenologists&mdash;a correct model of our immortal
+Poet's head; and in order to accomplish this in the most accurate and
+satisfactory manner, every particle of sand or other foreign body was
+carefully washed off, and<span class='pagenum'>[Pg 5]</span> the plaster-of-Paris applied with all the tact
+and accuracy of an experienced artist. The Cast is admirably taken, and
+cannot fail to prove highly interesting to Phrenologists and others.</p>
+
+<p>"Having completed our intention, the Skull, securely enclosed in a leaden
+case, was again committed to the earth precisely where we found it.</p>
+
+<p class="right">"<span class="smcap">Archd. Blacklock.</span>"</p>

+that his brain was active and susceptible.</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'>[Pg 6]</span>Size in the brain, other conditions being equal, is the measure of mental

+the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22&#188; inches.
+These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, <i>including
+the integuments</i>, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed.</p>
+
+<p>The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and
+activity.</p>
+
+<p>The portions of the brain which manifest the animal propensities are
+uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action
+under their influence. The group of organs manifesting the domestic
+affections (Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is
+large; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head.</p>
+
+<p>The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking
+great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation.</p>
+
+<p>Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer
+considerable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary.</p>
+
+<p>Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample
+endowment, although the first is less than the other two; these feelings
+give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the
+esteem of others. The first quality will not be so readily conceded to
+Burns as the second and third, which, indeed, were much stronger; but the
+Phrenologist records what is presented by nature, in full confidence that
+the manifestations, when the character is correctly understood, will be
+found to correspond with the development, and he states that the brain
+indicates considerable love of property.</p>
+
+<p>The organs of the moral sentiments are also largely developed. Ideality,
+Wonder, Imitation, and Benevolence, are the largest in size. Veneration
+also is large. Conscientiousness, Firmness, and Hope, are full.</p>
+
+<p>The Knowing organs, or those of perceptive intellect, are large; and the
+organs of Reflection are also considerable, but less than the former.
+Causality is larger than Comparison, and Wit is less than either.</p>
+
+<p>The Skull indicates the combination of strong animal passions, with
+equally powerful moral emotions. If the natural morality had been less,
+the endowment of the propensities is sufficient to have constituted a
+character of the most desperate description. The combination, as it
+exists, bespeaks a mind extremely subject to contending emotions&mdash;capable
+of great good or great evil&mdash;and encompassed with vast difficulties in
+preserving a steady, even, onward course of practical morality.</p>
+
+<p>In the combination of very large Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness,
+with very large Benevolence and large Ideality, we find the elements of
+that exquisite tenderness and refinement, which Burns so frequently
+manifested, even when at the worst stage of his career. In the combination
+of great Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Self-Esteem, we find the
+fundamental qualities which inspired "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and
+similar productions.</p>
+
+<p>The combination of large Secretiveness, Imitation, and the Perceptive<span class='pagenum'>[Pg 7]</span>
+organs, gives the elements of his dramatic talent and humour. The Skull
+indicates a decided talent for Humour, but less for Wit. The public are
+apt to confound the talents for Wit and Humour. The metaphysicians,
+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.</p>
+
+<p>An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be
+moderate in size; but when the dimensions of the anterior lobe, in both
+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it
+gives an appearance of narrowness to the forehead which is not real. This
+is the cause, also, why Benevolence appears to lie farther back than
+usual. An anterior lobe of this magnitude indicates great Intellectual
+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.</p>
+
+<p>The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.</p>
+
+<p>The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.</p>
+
+<p>The combination of Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness, Love of Approbation, and
+Conscientiousness, is the source of his keen feelings in regard to
+pecuniary independence. The great power of his Animal Propensities would
+give him strong temptations to waste; but the combination just mentioned
+would impose a powerful restraint. The head indicates the elements of an
+economical character; and it is known that he died free from debt,
+notwithstanding the smallness of his salary.</p>
+
+<p>No Phrenologist can look upon this head, and consider the circumstances in
+which Burns was placed, without vivid feelings of regret. Burns must have
+walked the earth with a consciousness of great superiority over his
+associates in the station in which he was placed&mdash;of powers calculated for
+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach&mdash;and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.</p>

+
+
+
+
+ OBSERVATIONS ON THE SKULL OF BURNS,
+ BY
+ GEORGE COMBE.
+
+
+Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759, and died at Dumfries on 21st
+July 1796, in the 37th year of his age, and, on the 26th, was interred in
+St Michael's Churchyard. Eighteen years afterwards, a Mausoleum was
+erected by subscription to his memory in that cemetery; and, on the 19th
+September 1815, his remains were privately exhumed and transferred to the
+vault attached to it. Mrs Burns, the Poet's widow, having died on 26th
+March 1834, the vault was opened for the purpose of depositing her remains
+beside those of her husband; and the gentlemen who took charge of the
+proceedings, being aware of the anxiety which had long been generally felt
+to obtain a Cast of the Poet's Skull, resolved to avail themselves of the
+opportunity to gratify this desire. The consent of the relatives having
+been obtained, Mr M'Diarmid, the Editor of the _Dumfries Courier_, went
+with several other gentlemen to the vault, and successfully effected their
+purpose.
+
+The following description is written by Mr Archibald Blacklock, Surgeon:
+"The cranial bones were perfect in every respect, if we except a little
+erosion of their external table, and firmly held together by their
+sutures; even the delicate bones of the orbits, with the trifling
+exception of the _os unguis_ in the left, were sound and uninjured by
+death and the grave. The superior maxillary bones still retained the four
+most posterior teeth on each side, including the dentes sapientiae, and all
+without spot or blemish; the incisores, cuspidati, &c., had, in all
+probability, recently dropped from the jaw, for the alveoli were but
+little decayed. The bones of the face and palate were also sound. Some
+small portions of black hair, with a very few grey hairs intermixed, were
+observed while detaching some extraneous matter from the occiput. Indeed,
+nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the
+bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has
+so long been desiderated by Phrenologists--a correct model of our immortal
+Poet's head; and in order to accomplish this in the most accurate and
+satisfactory manner, every particle of sand or other foreign body was
+carefully washed off, and the plaster-of-Paris applied with all the tact
+and accuracy of an experienced artist. The Cast is admirably taken, and
+cannot fail to prove highly interesting to Phrenologists and others.
+
+"Having completed our intention, the Skull, securely enclosed in a leaden
+case, was again committed to the earth precisely where we found it.

+
+_The scale of the organs indicates their relative proportions to each
+other; 2 is Idiotcy--10 Moderate--14 Full--18 Large--and 20 very Large._
+
+
+The cast of a Skull does not show the temperament of the individual, but
+the portraits of Burns indicate the bilious and nervous temperaments--the
+sources of strength, activity, and susceptibility; and the descriptions
+given by his contemporaries of his beaming and energetic eye, and the
+rapidity and impetuosity of his manifestations, establish the inference
+that his brain was active and susceptible.
+
+Size in the brain, other conditions being equal, is the measure of mental
+power. The Skull of Burns indicates a large brain. The length is 8, and
+the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22-1/4 inches.
+These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, _including
+the integuments_, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed.
+
+The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and
+activity.
+
+The portions of the brain which manifest the animal propensities are
+uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action
+under their influence. The group of organs manifesting the domestic
+affections (Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is
+large; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head.
+
+The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking
+great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation.
+
+Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer
+considerable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary.
+
+Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample
+endowment, although the first is less than the other two; these feelings
+give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the

+
+The organs of the moral sentiments are also largely developed. Ideality,
+Wonder, Imitation, and Benevolence, are the largest in size. Veneration
+also is large. Conscientiousness, Firmness, and Hope, are full.
+
+The Knowing organs, or those of perceptive intellect, are large; and the
+organs of Reflection are also considerable, but less than the former.
+Causality is larger than Comparison, and Wit is less than either.
+
+The Skull indicates the combination of strong animal passions, with
+equally powerful moral emotions. If the natural morality had been less,
+the endowment of the propensities is sufficient to have constituted a
+character of the most desperate description. The combination, as it
+exists, bespeaks a mind extremely subject to contending emotions--capable
+of great good or great evil--and encompassed with vast difficulties in
+preserving a steady, even, onward course of practical morality.
+
+In the combination of very large Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness,
+with very large Benevolence and large Ideality, we find the elements of
+that exquisite tenderness and refinement, which Burns so frequently
+manifested, even when at the worst stage of his career. In the combination
+of great Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Self-Esteem, we find the
+fundamental qualities which inspired "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and
+similar productions.
+
+The combination of large Secretiveness, Imitation, and the Perceptive
+organs, gives the elements of his dramatic talent and humour. The Skull
+indicates a decided talent for Humour, but less for Wit. The public are
+apt to confound the talents for Wit and Humour. The metaphysicians,
+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.
+
+An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be

+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it

+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.
+
+The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.
+
+The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.
+

+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach--and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+ OBSERVATIONS ON THE SKULL OF BURNS,
+ BY
+ GEORGE COMBE.
+
+
+Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759, and died at Dumfries on 21st
+July 1796, in the 37th year of his age, and, on the 26th, was interred in
+St Michael's Churchyard. Eighteen years afterwards, a Mausoleum was
+erected by subscription to his memory in that cemetery; and, on the 19th
+September 1815, his remains were privately exhumed and transferred to the
+vault attached to it. Mrs Burns, the Poet's widow, having died on 26th
+March 1834, the vault was opened for the purpose of depositing her remains
+beside those of her husband; and the gentlemen who took charge of the
+proceedings, being aware of the anxiety which had long been generally felt
+to obtain a Cast of the Poet's Skull, resolved to avail themselves of the
+opportunity to gratify this desire. The consent of the relatives having
+been obtained, Mr M'Diarmid, the Editor of the _Dumfries Courier_, went
+with several other gentlemen to the vault, and successfully effected their
+purpose.
+
+The following description is written by Mr Archibald Blacklock, Surgeon:
+"The cranial bones were perfect in every respect, if we except a little
+erosion of their external table, and firmly held together by their
+sutures; even the delicate bones of the orbits, with the trifling
+exception of the _os unguis_ in the left, were sound and uninjured by
+death and the grave. The superior maxillary bones still retained the four
+most posterior teeth on each side, including the dentes sapientię, and all
+without spot or blemish; the incisores, cuspidati, &c., had, in all
+probability, recently dropped from the jaw, for the alveoli were but
+little decayed. The bones of the face and palate were also sound. Some
+small portions of black hair, with a very few grey hairs intermixed, were
+observed while detaching some extraneous matter from the occiput. Indeed,
+nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the
+bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has
+so long been desiderated by Phrenologists--a correct model of our immortal
+Poet's head; and in order to accomplish this in the most accurate and
+satisfactory manner, every particle of sand or other foreign body was
+carefully washed off, and the plaster-of-Paris applied with all the tact
+and accuracy of an experienced artist. The Cast is admirably taken, and
+cannot fail to prove highly interesting to Phrenologists and others.
+
+"Having completed our intention, the Skull, securely enclosed in a leaden
+case, was again committed to the earth precisely where we found it.

+
+
+The cast of a Skull does not show the temperament of the individual, but
+the portraits of Burns indicate the bilious and nervous temperaments--the
+sources of strength, activity, and susceptibility; and the descriptions
+given by his contemporaries of his beaming and energetic eye, and the
+rapidity and impetuosity of his manifestations, establish the inference
+that his brain was active and susceptible.
+
+Size in the brain, other conditions being equal, is the measure of mental
+power. The Skull of Burns indicates a large brain. The length is 8, and
+the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22-1/4 inches.
+These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, _including
+the integuments_, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed.
+
+The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and
+activity.
+
+The portions of the brain which manifest the animal propensities are
+uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action
+under their influence. The group of organs manifesting the domestic
+affections (Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is
+large; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head.
+
+The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking
+great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation.
+
+Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer
+considerable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary.
+
+Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample
+endowment, although the first is less than the other two; these feelings
+give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the
+esteem of others. The first quality will not be so readily conceded to
+Burns as the second and third, which, indeed, were much stronger; but the
+Phrenologist records what is presented by nature, in full confidence that
+the manifestations, when the character is correctly understood, will be
+found to correspond with the development, and he states that the brain
+indicates considerable love of property.
+
+The organs of the moral sentiments are also largely developed. Ideality,
+Wonder, Imitation, and Benevolence, are the largest in size. Veneration
+also is large. Conscientiousness, Firmness, and Hope, are full.
+
+The Knowing organs, or those of perceptive intellect, are large; and the
+organs of Reflection are also considerable, but less than the former.
+Causality is larger than Comparison, and Wit is less than either.
+
+The Skull indicates the combination of strong animal passions, with
+equally powerful moral emotions. If the natural morality had been less,
+the endowment of the propensities is sufficient to have constituted a
+character of the most desperate description. The combination, as it
+exists, bespeaks a mind extremely subject to contending emotions--capable
+of great good or great evil--and encompassed with vast difficulties in
+preserving a steady, even, onward course of practical morality.
+
+In the combination of very large Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness,
+with very large Benevolence and large Ideality, we find the elements of
+that exquisite tenderness and refinement, which Burns so frequently
+manifested, even when at the worst stage of his career. In the combination
+of great Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Self-Esteem, we find the
+fundamental qualities which inspired "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and
+similar productions.
+
+The combination of large Secretiveness, Imitation, and the Perceptive
+organs, gives the elements of his dramatic talent and humour. The Skull
+indicates a decided talent for Humour, but less for Wit. The public are
+apt to confound the talents for Wit and Humour. The metaphysicians,
+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.
+
+An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be
+moderate in size; but when the dimensions of the anterior lobe, in both
+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it
+gives an appearance of narrowness to the forehead which is not real. This
+is the cause, also, why Benevolence appears to lie farther back than
+usual. An anterior lobe of this magnitude indicates great Intellectual
+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.
+
+The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.
+
+The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.
+
+The combination of Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness, Love of Approbation, and
+Conscientiousness, is the source of his keen feelings in regard to
+pecuniary independence. The great power of his Animal Propensities would
+give him strong temptations to waste; but the combination just mentioned
+would impose a powerful restraint. The head indicates the elements of an
+economical character; and it is known that he died free from debt,
+notwithstanding the smallness of his salary.
+
+No Phrenologist can look upon this head, and consider the circumstances in
+which Burns was placed, without vivid feelings of regret. Burns must have
+walked the earth with a consciousness of great superiority over his
+associates in the station in which he was placed--of powers calculated for
+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach--and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.
+
+The Drawings of the Skull are ably executed by GEORGE HARVEY, Esq., S.A.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h1>OBSERVATIONS ON THE SKULL OF BURNS,</h1>
+<h3>BY</h3>
+<h2>GEORGE COMBE.</h2>
+
+<p>Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759, and died at Dumfries on 21st
+July 1796, in the 37th year of his age, and, on the 26th, was interred in
+St Michael's Churchyard. Eighteen years afterwards, a Mausoleum was
+erected by subscription to his memory in that cemetery; and, on the 19th
+September 1815, his remains were privately exhumed and transferred to the
+vault attached to it. Mrs Burns, the Poet's widow, having died on 26th
+March 1834, the vault was opened for the purpose of depositing her remains
+beside those of her husband; and the gentlemen who took charge of the
+proceedings, being aware of the anxiety which had long been generally felt
+to obtain a Cast of the Poet's Skull, resolved to avail themselves of the
+opportunity to gratify this desire. The consent of the relatives having
+been obtained, Mr M'Diarmid, the Editor of the <i>Dumfries Courier</i>, went
+with several other gentlemen to the vault, and successfully effected their
+purpose.</p>
+
+<p>The following description is written by Mr Archibald Blacklock, Surgeon:
+"The cranial bones were perfect in every respect, if we except a little
+erosion of their external table, and firmly held together by their
+sutures; even the delicate bones of the orbits, with the trifling
+exception of the <i>os unguis</i> in the left, were sound and uninjured by
+death and the grave. The superior maxillary bones still retained the four
+most posterior teeth on each side, including the dentes sapienti&aelig;, and all
+without spot or blemish; the incisores, cuspidati, &amp;c., had, in all
+probability, recently dropped from the jaw, for the alveoli were but
+little decayed. The bones of the face and palate were also sound. Some
+small portions of black hair, with a very few grey hairs intermixed, were
+observed while detaching some extraneous matter from the occiput. Indeed,
+nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the
+bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has
+so long been desiderated by Phrenologists&mdash;a correct model of our immortal
+Poet's head; and in order to accomplish this in the most accurate and
+satisfactory manner, every particle of sand or other foreign body was
+carefully washed off, and<span class='pagenum'>[Pg 5]</span> the plaster-of-Paris applied with all the tact
+and accuracy of an experienced artist. The Cast is admirably taken, and
+cannot fail to prove highly interesting to Phrenologists and others.</p>
+
+<p>"Having completed our intention, the Skull, securely enclosed in a leaden
+case, was again committed to the earth precisely where we found it.</p>

+<p class="center"><i>The scale of the organs indicates their relative proportions to each
+other;<br />2 is Idiotcy&mdash;10 Moderate&mdash;14 Full&mdash;18 Large&mdash;and 20 very Large.</i></p>
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+<p>The cast of a Skull does not show the temperament of the individual, but
+the portraits of Burns indicate the bilious and nervous temperaments&mdash;the
+sources of strength, activity, and susceptibility; and the descriptions
+given by his contemporaries of his beaming and energetic eye, and the
+rapidity and impetuosity of his manifestations, establish the inference
+that his brain was active and susceptible.</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'>[Pg 6]</span>Size in the brain, other conditions being equal, is the measure of mental
+power. The Skull of Burns indicates a large brain. The length is 8, and
+the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22&#188; inches.
+These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, <i>including
+the integuments</i>, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed.</p>
+
+<p>The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and
+activity.</p>
+
+<p>The portions of the brain which manifest the animal propensities are
+uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action
+under their influence. The group of organs manifesting the domestic
+affections (Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is
+large; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head.</p>
+
+<p>The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking
+great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation.</p>
+
+<p>Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer
+considerable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary.</p>
+
+<p>Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample
+endowment, although the first is less than the other two; these feelings
+give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the
+esteem of others. The first quality will not be so readily conceded to
+Burns as the second and third, which, indeed, were much stronger; but the
+Phrenologist records what is presented by nature, in full confidence that
+the manifestations, when the character is correctly understood, will be
+found to correspond with the development, and he states that the brain
+indicates considerable love of property.</p>
+
+<p>The organs of the moral sentiments are also largely developed. Ideality,
+Wonder, Imitation, and Benevolence, are the largest in size. Veneration
+also is large. Conscientiousness, Firmness, and Hope, are full.</p>
+
+<p>The Knowing organs, or those of perceptive intellect, are large; and the
+organs of Reflection are also considerable, but less than the former.
+Causality is larger than Comparison, and Wit is less than either.</p>
+
+<p>The Skull indicates the combination of strong animal passions, with
+equally powerful moral emotions. If the natural morality had been less,
+the endowment of the propensities is sufficient to have constituted a
+character of the most desperate description. The combination, as it
+exists, bespeaks a mind extremely subject to contending emotions&mdash;capable
+of great good or great evil&mdash;and encompassed with vast difficulties in
+preserving a steady, even, onward course of practical morality.</p>
+
+<p>In the combination of very large Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness,
+with very large Benevolence and large Ideality, we find the elements of
+that exquisite tenderness and refinement, which Burns so frequently
+manifested, even when at the worst stage of his career. In the combination
+of great Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Self-Esteem, we find the
+fundamental qualities which inspired "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and
+similar productions.</p>
+
+<p>The combination of large Secretiveness, Imitation, and the Perceptive<span class='pagenum'>[Pg 7]</span>
+organs, gives the elements of his dramatic talent and humour. The Skull
+indicates a decided talent for Humour, but less for Wit. The public are
+apt to confound the talents for Wit and Humour. The metaphysicians,
+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.</p>
+
+<p>An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be
+moderate in size; but when the dimensions of the anterior lobe, in both
+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it
+gives an appearance of narrowness to the forehead which is not real. This
+is the cause, also, why Benevolence appears to lie farther back than
+usual. An anterior lobe of this magnitude indicates great Intellectual
+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.</p>
+
+<p>The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.</p>
+
+<p>The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.</p>
+
+<p>The combination of Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness, Love of Approbation, and
+Conscientiousness, is the source of his keen feelings in regard to
+pecuniary independence. The great power of his Animal Propensities would
+give him strong temptations to waste; but the combination just mentioned
+would impose a powerful restraint. The head indicates the elements of an
+economical character; and it is known that he died free from debt,
+notwithstanding the smallness of his salary.</p>
+
+<p>No Phrenologist can look upon this head, and consider the circumstances in
+which Burns was placed, without vivid feelings of regret. Burns must have
+walked the earth with a consciousness of great superiority over his
+associates in the station in which he was placed&mdash;of powers calculated for
+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach&mdash;and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.</p>

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+ OBSERVATIONS ON THE SKULL OF BURNS,
+ BY
+ GEORGE COMBE.
+
+
+Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759, and died at Dumfries on 21st
+July 1796, in the 37th year of his age, and, on the 26th, was interred in
+St Michael's Churchyard. Eighteen years afterwards, a Mausoleum was
+erected by subscription to his memory in that cemetery; and, on the 19th
+September 1815, his remains were privately exhumed and transferred to the
+vault attached to it. Mrs Burns, the Poet's widow, having died on 26th
+March 1834, the vault was opened for the purpose of depositing her remains
+beside those of her husband; and the gentlemen who took charge of the
+proceedings, being aware of the anxiety which had long been generally felt
+to obtain a Cast of the Poet's Skull, resolved to avail themselves of the
+opportunity to gratify this desire. The consent of the relatives having
+been obtained, Mr M'Diarmid, the Editor of the _Dumfries Courier_, went
+with several other gentlemen to the vault, and successfully effected their
+purpose.
+
+The following description is written by Mr Archibald Blacklock, Surgeon:
+"The cranial bones were perfect in every respect, if we except a little
+erosion of their external table, and firmly held together by their
+sutures; even the delicate bones of the orbits, with the trifling
+exception of the _os unguis_ in the left, were sound and uninjured by
+death and the grave. The superior maxillary bones still retained the four
+most posterior teeth on each side, including the dentes sapientiae, and all
+without spot or blemish; the incisores, cuspidati, &c., had, in all
+probability, recently dropped from the jaw, for the alveoli were but
+little decayed. The bones of the face and palate were also sound. Some
+small portions of black hair, with a very few grey hairs intermixed, were
+observed while detaching some extraneous matter from the occiput. Indeed,
+nothing could exceed the high state of preservation in which we found the
+bones of the cranium, or offer a fairer opportunity of supplying what has
+so long been desiderated by Phrenologists--a correct model of our immortal
+Poet's head; and in order to accomplish this in the most accurate and
+satisfactory manner, every particle of sand or other foreign body was
+carefully washed off, and the plaster-of-Paris applied with all the tact
+and accuracy of an experienced artist. The Cast is admirably taken, and
+cannot fail to prove highly interesting to Phrenologists and others.
+
+"Having completed our intention, the Skull, securely enclosed in a leaden
+case, was again committed to the earth precisely where we found it.

+
+_The scale of the organs indicates their relative proportions to each
+other; 2 is Idiotcy--10 Moderate--14 Full--18 Large--and 20 very Large._
+
+
+The cast of a Skull does not show the temperament of the individual, but
+the portraits of Burns indicate the bilious and nervous temperaments--the
+sources of strength, activity, and susceptibility; and the descriptions
+given by his contemporaries of his beaming and energetic eye, and the
+rapidity and impetuosity of his manifestations, establish the inference
+that his brain was active and susceptible.
+
+Size in the brain, other conditions being equal, is the measure of mental
+power. The Skull of Burns indicates a large brain. The length is 8, and
+the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22-1/4 inches.
+These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, _including
+the integuments_, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed.
+
+The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and
+activity.
+
+The portions of the brain which manifest the animal propensities are
+uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action
+under their influence. The group of organs manifesting the domestic
+affections (Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is
+large; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head.
+
+The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking
+great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation.
+
+Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer
+considerable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary.
+
+Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample
+endowment, although the first is less than the other two; these feelings
+give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the
+esteem of others. The first quality will not be so readily conceded to
+Burns as the second and third, which, indeed, were much stronger; but the
+Phrenologist records what is presented by nature, in full confidence that
+the manifestations, when the character is correctly understood, will be
+found to correspond with the development, and he states that the brain
+indicates considerable love of property.
+
+The organs of the moral sentiments are also largely developed. Ideality,
+Wonder, Imitation, and Benevolence, are the largest in size. Veneration
+also is large. Conscientiousness, Firmness, and Hope, are full.
+
+The Knowing organs, or those of perceptive intellect, are large; and the
+organs of Reflection are also considerable, but less than the former.
+Causality is larger than Comparison, and Wit is less than either.
+
+The Skull indicates the combination of strong animal passions, with
+equally powerful moral emotions. If the natural morality had been less,
+the endowment of the propensities is sufficient to have constituted a
+character of the most desperate description. The combination, as it
+exists, bespeaks a mind extremely subject to contending emotions--capable
+of great good or great evil--and encompassed with vast difficulties in
+preserving a steady, even, onward course of practical morality.
+
+In the combination of very large Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness,
+with very large Benevolence and large Ideality, we find the elements of
+that exquisite tenderness and refinement, which Burns so frequently
+manifested, even when at the worst stage of his career. In the combination
+of great Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Self-Esteem, we find the
+fundamental qualities which inspired "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and
+similar productions.
+
+The combination of large Secretiveness, Imitation, and the Perceptive
+organs, gives the elements of his dramatic talent and humour. The Skull
+indicates a decided talent for Humour, but less for Wit. The public are
+apt to confound the talents for Wit and Humour. The metaphysicians,
+however, have distinguished them, and in the phrenological Works their
+different elements are pointed out. Burns possessed the talent for satire:
+Destructiveness, added to the combination which gives Humour, produces it.
+
+An unskilful observer looking at the forehead might suppose it to be
+moderate in size; but when the dimensions of the anterior lobe, in both
+length and breadth, are attended to, the Intellectual organs will be
+recognised to have been large. The anterior lobe projects so much that it
+gives an appearance of narrowness to the forehead which is not real. This
+is the cause, also, why Benevolence appears to lie farther back than
+usual. An anterior lobe of this magnitude indicates great Intellectual
+power. The combination of large Perceptive and Reflecting organs
+(Causality predominant), with large Concentrativeness and large organs of
+the feelings, gives that sagacity and vigorous common sense for which
+Burns was distinguished.
+
+The Skull rises high above Causality, and spreads wide in the region of
+Ideality; the strength of his moral feelings lay in that region.
+
+The combination of large organs of the Animal Propensities, with large
+Cautiousness, and only full Hope, together with the unfavourable
+circumstances in which he was placed, accounts for the melancholy and
+internal unhappiness with which Burns was so frequently afflicted. This
+melancholy was rendered still deeper by bad health.
+
+The combination of Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness, Love of Approbation, and
+Conscientiousness, is the source of his keen feelings in regard to
+pecuniary independence. The great power of his Animal Propensities would
+give him strong temptations to waste; but the combination just mentioned
+would impose a powerful restraint. The head indicates the elements of an
+economical character; and it is known that he died free from debt,
+notwithstanding the smallness of his salary.
+
+No Phrenologist can look upon this head, and consider the circumstances in
+which Burns was placed, without vivid feelings of regret. Burns must have
+walked the earth with a consciousness of great superiority over his
+associates in the station in which he was placed--of powers calculated for
+a far higher sphere than that which he was able to reach--and of passions
+which he could with difficulty restrain, and which it was fatal to
+indulge. If he had been placed from infancy in the higher ranks of life,
+liberally educated, and employed in pursuits corresponding to his powers,
+the inferior portion of his nature would have lost part of its energy,
+while his better qualities would have assumed a decided and permanent
+superiority.
+
+The Drawings of the Skull are ably executed by GEORGE HARVEY, Esq., S.A.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
