Hollow plaster, incised PHRENOLOGY on the front, with areas of the head delineated and numbered . A partially missing label on the back lists the numbered areas and psychological attributes. Phrenology is based on the belief that certain delineated areas of the brain are responsible for different functions, and that an individual’s personality and character can be ascertained by studying the corresponding bumps and indentations on the person’s skull. The theory was developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gallin in the 1790s, and further advanced by his assistant Johann Gaspar Spurzheim. Phrenology faced skepticism from the scientific community, but enjoyed immense popularity with the American public throughout the 19th century. Today, phrenology is regarded as a pseudoscience.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Boston, Oct 16, 1832 /. My dear Son - Your letter enclosing the bills reached me safely. The money was very acceptable, but nothing in comparison with the kind and noble resolutions you express of future exertions. It was to awaken such feelings that I wrote. I have not wished to cloud your mind with the cares of the world, any further than [item necessity?] and your own improvement rendered indispensable. But you will soon be obliged to mingle in the world as a man. You must be armed to endure the shocks and resist the temptations. You must begin to calculate your course, to discriminate the objects of pursuit most worth your exertions. I trust I shall not be disappointed in my hopes that you will be a blessing and support to me and your sisters & young brother. Do not, however, imagine that I am suffering. It is true, I have many perplexities. How could it be otherwise! It is not a trifling thing to support five persons - and then the education of the children is every season increasing in expense. Still I manage to keep on. I have kind friends, and I labor hard, and am very prudent. I am now engaged on another work, which will, I hope be popular as "Flora," and if the Magazine continues next year as profitable as it has been this I shall meet my expenses. But you will feel that these uncertainties must often trouble me. Now with respect to your own plans. What do you wish to do when you graduate? It is time we begin to make calculations for that event, I named your becoming an assistant because I do so dread to have you stationed at the far West or the sickly South - and then you will be too young to be placed in a station of responsibility as an officer or at least, I should prefer to have you engaged in a less hazardous situation. You entered the Academy too early, & I was not sufficiently acquainted with the requisitions of the Institution. But this we cannot now help. The only course is to make the best we can of present circumstances. I have friends at Washington, & if my application can do any good towards procuring you a situation more consonant to your wishes and to the plans for future improvement which I hope you are forming, I will use all my endeavors to succeed. Now I wish you to reflect in the [hours?] before you. What can you hope for? What are you qualified to obtain? And what situation, of those you believe attainable, should you prefer? And why should you prefer it? Answer these questions in your next, and I we will consider the subject, and endeavor to assist you in the obtaining of the employment we shall, on the whole, think most beneficial. I should prefer the Civil Engineering to a station in the army for you. Dr Spurzheim the great German phrenologist is in Boston. I am delighted with his lectures, and hope you will have the privilege of hearing him. He will probably visit West Point. He is very popular here, and deserves to be, for he devotes his great talents to the cause of education & moral improvement. I [DE: am] have become personally acquainted with him - and feel it a high privilege. He pronounces Horatio's head to be very extraordinary [etc.] Yours affectionately S.J Hale PS. I shall go to N.H. next week, to Newport & Keene. Josepha is to spend the winter in Concord with her Aunt Barton - & Marthaann will be in Boston & Salem through the winter. H. & W. send much love. Wm has entered the public Latin School. - - [?] Cadet David E. Hale West-Point N York.
