"For thirty years I have studied Crania and living heads from all parts of the world, and have found in every instance that there is a perfect correspondance between the conformation of the healthy skull of an individual and his known characteristics. To make my observations available I have prepared a Bust of superior form and marked the divisions of the Organs in accordance with my researches and varied experience. L. N. Fowler."
