A PHRENOLOGICAL PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN.

ifctfettYifotM is •' supposed to j know something about the Queen, yet fe\r lmvo. been bohhid the scenes to; know tlio private life and character of Her Majesty. Some me so situated and so organised as to show two distinct character*,, ft public and a private one.. The Qudomiß obliged to act the queen, and yetHjie ha*. <v \cry extensive .household and family to be at the head of, and to be responsible for, which requires her to act accordingly, i. Hhc . also has vast estates, various kinds of property, and many .palaces, eastlea, and families to look after, reqnirini* certain qualities of mind in order to 'discharge those duties properly. Besides, bhc has her on n particular qualities of'riuud,,that dispose her to act accoidiugly, independently of her varied lektioiiblup to o.thcis. It is tlna hist private, peit.on.il character, whichis £he result of her organisation, that we wish to describe. Hie head of Her Majesty is of full size, and the brain is fully developed in all its parts. Her bmin moreover, it. well sustained I>y a strong vital organisation, indicating a stiong hold on life. Her vital organisation is .specially developed as shown by her rotund form, large face, neck, and base of brain. .She has strong digestive powers, and can enjey the good things of the table, yet may prefer simple and nourishing kinds of of food to those of a more elaborate and and concentrated kind. There is a harmonious lelationship between her natural appetite and her digesthe powers, for both appear to be distinctly developed. Her lungs appear to be large and ample, the he.v t is large, and the arterial system is amply represented ; her muscular system is not predominant, and is only kept in good condition by much change and exeieise. The natural deficiency ,is hereditary, and lea\es the mind without support that is necessary. Her muscular system acts with force but irregularly. The same is true of her nervous system and mind. Her nervous iorce is not a predominating power, and although vigourous at times, yet there is not a superabundance in stock. The vital organisation is supeiior, and has the ascendency, and will add length to her days. The shape of the brain is elliptical, being well rounded out and fully developed in all paits, indicating general cultiue. The base of the brain is specially developed. All the faculties that an; connected with physiccd existence, with the capacity to enjoy and protect life, and to piovide for the wants ot life, aie well represented. She has a strong, energetic disposition, with much force of character, and strong likes and dislikes, as indicated by the breadth of the head at the base between the ears. The head continues wide upwards, indicating great industry, economy, reticence, cautiousness, guardedness, and forethought. She is well organised to acquiic, .save, and take caie of property, whether she hase much or little. She natutally confides in but few, and not in them till they have been tiied and piovcd to be true. The domestic bi am is strongly niaiked, and has a poweitul influence on her v, hole character. Her head being 1 irgc and broad in the occipital portion indicated strong love as a wife and parent. The development of her brain m the afioctions is in peiicct harmony with what all know to bo true in her lite and character. As a companion she was devotedly attached, and few with the stiong impulsive love-natuio that she lu^. had h\ed so disci ect a life as has, thus setting a most noble example of viitue and fidelity to all the women of her realm. She manifests gieat interest in children, both as a patent and towards the young geueially. .She is fully developed in the ciown of the head, giving dignity, sense of character, and ambition. Hor position gieatly facilitates the action oi .Sell -esteem and Approbativenoss, and thcii action with Cautiousness and Secrctivencss may lender her moie distant and leserved than is necessary. Her inipeiathcnoss would be called out by her position and her 1 elation to others oven if .she had but a, niodeiate tendency that way. The uncertainty of her position as the woild now goes would be a suilicicnt cause to stimulate her to economy and reticence. The moral brain is huge. The head is full in the eoional portion, and it rounds out into the climax organ, Veneration. That being the largest moral organ, her strongest moial feeling is the consciousness ot a supreme creating Tower, giving her religious emotion, tendency to worship, and regaid for the ceremonies of religion. iSpnituality is also large. .She is capable ot being much interested in subjects of a spiritual nature, and is disposed to think much about spirit life and influence. ] [ope is not so large or influential ; more ot it would l)o a decided advantage to her. Benevolence m connection with Friendship is strongly manifested, and has a maiked influence, yet it is avcll balanced by her conservative qualities. The organ of Fiimness is large and active. What she has determined in her mind to do, that she will do, and does not know why there should be any superior obstacle in the way to prevent. Eneigy, determination, and self-interest combined forma \eiy strong power in • her character. So also hei affections and family tics, joined to her integrity and sense of \ irtue, lortn another strong element in her character. Her head is broad in the temples, indicating \ crsalility of talent, ingenuity, taste, lovo of art, and sense of pericction. The forehead is well rounded out and full in the centie, which indicates good poweis of observation, good general memory, and consciousness of what is going on. Her tin cc strongest qualities of the intellect aic Language, Older and Compaiison. She has a full command of language, and is e(|iialto the occasion when necessary to express hcisclf ; can learn and talk the languages, and lemembcr verbally quite well. Comparison, being large, gives her great power of criticism and association of ideas, and she is quick to see the fitness and application of ideas and principles. She is sharp in discerning character and the motives of stiangeis, and is sufficiently suspicious to be guarded about committing hciself. Her talents arc of the practical, available, intuitive kind, rather than of the theoretical, inventive, or speculate kind. Older being large has a powerful influence when combined with the executive brain, rcndciiug her vciy exact, prompt and particular m all her household and business auangements. Being thus very particular, she would as far as possible take much of the arrangement of afi'ahs into her own hands, and superintend their execution even into the details ; and with her, large time, conscientiousness, and fiimncss, would see to it that each one discharged his on her duty accurately and punctually. The character of the Queen is undoubtedly much efFocted by her associations, and by the high position she has held so long and so worthily ; hence this description may not be in harmony with some peculiarities of her character brought out by surrounding influences. We have, however endeavoured in our analysis to be' governed by the indications given in the form of the head without, perhaps, taking sufficiently into account hereditary bias. Still the salient features must show themselves, and not all the surrounding influences in the world would tend to make her much different to what we have portrayed her. Her character has ' doubtless had a great deal to do with the prosperity of her reign, and it is to boihopcd that she may yet be long spared to watch over tiro interests of her country. i— (27/ rcnolog ic { ql M'tgaz^m) .
