| Summary: | "This volume is the third and last of the series on the application of Phrenology to "Education and Self Improvement." Volume III shows how to educate the intellect. It analyzes each of the intellectual faculties, and points out the means of augmenting their efficiency. It of course shows how to cultivate the memory; conduct the intellectual education of the young; and strengthen and expand the intellect. It especially embodies copious directions for educating our own selves. Personal effort is indispensable to intellectual attainments and greatness. All must be self-made or not made at all. Original capabilities are indeed conferred by nature, yet however great, produce very little unless assiduously cultivated. Nature confers on us all several fold more talent than we develop by culturebestows a vast amount of mentality which lies dormant for want of a true system of educationone founded in the nature of mind. That system Phrenology develops, by showing the precise function of every faculty, and thereby just what, brought before it, will stimulate it to action, and thus augment its power and efficiency"--Preface.
