Words introduced, since Gall, into medical language. They signify a description, or simply an examination, of the diffrent parts of the external surface of the cranium, in order to deduce from thence a knowledge of the different intellectual and moral dispositions. Strictly speaking, it is by Craniology, Organology, or Cranology, as it has been variously termed. These word are generally, however, used in the sense. The cranium being moulded to the brain, there are as many prominences on the bone, as there are projections at the surface of the brain. According to Gall, each projection, which he calls an organ, is the seat of a particular intellectual or moral faculty, and all persons endowed with the same faculty, have, at the same part of the brain, a prominence, which is indicated, externally, by a bump or projection in the bony case. The System of Gall is made to comprise 27 prominences, which answer to 27 faculties.
