The publishers announce now a great reduction in price-from three dollars to two dollars per year-and in connection with this a Phrenological bust as a premium to each subscriber. This bust is a model symbolical head, made nearly life- size, of plaster of Paris, so labeled as to show the exact location of all Phrenological organs. It is a handsome ornament, well adapted for the mantel- piece, center table, library or office. With the aid of this and the key which accompanies it, together with the series of articles commence in the January number of the Phrenological Journal, on practical Phrenology, each person can become quite familiar with the location of the different Phrenological organs. It is sent by express, carefully packed, to every subscriber to the Journal, who sends in addition to two dollars, the subscription price, twenty-five cents extra for boxing and packaging, or No. 2, a smaller size will be sent by mail, post paid, on the same terms. Readers who desire a more complete description, together with the prospects of the Phrenological Journal, should send their address on a postcard or accept the publisher’s offer, and send ten cents-half price for a sample number of the Journal to S. R. Wells & Co., Publishers, 737 Broadway, New York.
