KELLY AND PHRENOLOGY
The delineation of the character of Kelly given by Professor Nirrishi at Warigaratta sis years since, and published in the ‘‘ Wangaratta Press,” is as head of: this man is non-intellectual. The base of
the skull, with the whole bassillar section of the brain, is a massive development of the lower animal proclivities, and which being vastly in excess of the moral sectional measurement, inclines him to the perpetration of sensual animal vices, and which with au adverse facial angle prompts him lo the commission of vicious, brutal acts of outrage and aggressiveness. Ha has,large organs of self-esteem and love of approbation, which gives self-conceit and vanity. If the one be wounded or the other mortified, his animal nature would know no bounds. He would be likely under sudden surprise to comrnitt the grossest outrage ; and, being uncontrolled by any moral sentiment, stamps his character as wolfish and revenous. His notions of moral right given him a dangerous range of action.
