In Fuller’s words

“When the doctrines of Phreno-Magnetism and Neurology were announced, and were making converts by thousands, and multitudes of new organs were daily discovered by these means, so that my private science was threatened with an overwhelming inundation, I was forced to take up this subject in earnest.”

“When the doctrines of Phreno-Magnetism and Neurology were announced, and were making converts by thousands, and multitudes of new organs were daily discovered by these means, so that my private science was threatened with an overwhelming inundation, I was forced to take up this subject in earnest.”
“There has [have?] been so many new doctrines advanced within a short time, both on the subject of Phrenology and Mesmerism, that I must necessarily assume the office of a critic in speaking of the performances of others.”
“Under these circumstances I have deemed it best to ‘speak right straight on’ regardless of the apparent egotism, and to ‘utter my thoughts with entire independence of everything but truth and justice.”
“Mr.”
