- Summary:
- The scientific value of the work now presented to the English reader has been already acknowledged by every thinking man who has studied it in the original and is officially recognized by the act of the French Academy. The author shows us how a man's mind, and therefore his actions, may be directed by the mere mechanical pressure of his blood and regulated by the force of that pressure. Others have, in a vague way, guessed at this connection between bodily organs and the mental or moral forces; but Dr. Fleury is perhaps the first to define the doctrine, to demonstrate its scientific basis, to enounce and explain it clearly.
