Mr Chadwick² regrets to learn that Mr Wallace has not received his phrenograph which was certainly sent by the same post as that of Mr Silk.³ Mr C distinctly recollects the circumstance of both descriptions being written at one sitting as the contrasts of character were striking. He has now however, no trace of the original [2] outlines and cannot therefore write another delineation. He recollects also that both gentlemen displayed a high degree of culture in the expression of their countenances and much trouble was taken over their phrenology in consequence; that of Mr Wallace evincing smaller animal, physical, and critical powers than Mr Silks, but larger ^{perceptive faculties and} social, reverential, perceptive and benevolent sentiments. time⁴ bestowed on them [3] Mr. C could not take the same trouble over any subsequent phrenographs of the same parties as the freshness of feeling which dictated the former ones would be gone and he writes these things more as pleasure than a toil as they do not pay even for the time bestowed on them.
