Big Brains

The brain isin the head; but it does not follow that the brightest or best-bal- anced brain is in the biggest head. <A man died recently in Lapland who had a whitish mass in his scull-cavity that ought to have equipped a Plato, if size were the best of capacity. But he was a boor of low perceptions,and his enor- mous cranium was looked upon as no curiosity by his fellows. The largest heads of Europe, are among the Lapps, Norwegians,Sweedes, and Finns. They decrease in magnitude as one goes south towards Sicily. Some great men, it is true, have had massive pates; but, on the other hand, sundry large-minded small heads. Among
