results to science and humanity."--Report of New York Committee (WM. CULLEN BRYANT, Chairman).
"If he has made a single discovery in physiology, he has made more than any previous explorer of that science, in furnishing us this key to the whole of its principles, by his cerebral and corporeal experiments."--Report of the Faculty of Indiana University.
"No person of common discernment who has read Dr. Buchanan's writings or conversed with him in relation to the topics which they treat, can have failed to recognize in him one of the very foremost thinkers of the day. He is certainly one of the most charming and instructive men to whom anybody with a thirst for high speculation ever listened."--Louisville Journal (edited by PRENTICE and SHIPMAN).
"To Dr. Buchanan is due the distinguished honor of being the first individual to excite the organs of the brain by agencies applied externally directly over them, before which the discoveries of Gall, Spurzheim, or Sir Charles Bell--men who have been justly regarded as benefactors of their race--dwindle into comparative insignificance. This important discovery has given us a key to man's nature, moral, intellectual, and physical."--Democratic Review, New York.
"THERAPEUTIC SARCOGNOMY." "In this work we have the rich results of half a century of original thought, investigation, and discovery. Upon the psychic functions of the brain, Professor Buchanan is the highest living authority, being the only investigator of nature who has done anything important for that neglected realm of science, to which the world was introduced by the genius of Gall and Spurzheim. This work is really a complete exposition of the great mystery, the united operation and structural plan of soul, brain, and body."--Medical Advocate, New York.
"Of the very highest importance in the healing art, is a work just issued by the venerable Professor Buchanan. We have read the book from cover to cover with unabated attention; and it is replete with ideas, suggestions, and practical hints, and conclusions of eminent value to every practitioner who is himself enough of a natural physician to appreciate and apply them.... Having been cognizant of the very valuable and original work accomplished by Professor Buchanan in physiology, and having seen him demonstrate many times, on persons of all grades of intellectual and physical health, the truths he here affirms, the subject has lost the sense of novelty to us, and is accepted as undoubtedly proven."--American Homoeopathist, New York.
"MANUAL OF PSYCHOMETRY: The Dawn of a New Civilization." (2d edition.) "The like of this work is not to be found in the whole literature of the past.... His name stands honorably among those who have extended the real boundaries of knowledge."--Home Journal, New York.
"As an experimental science it is likely to make its way to universal recognition. But the recognition of psychometry involves a tremendous change in the opinions of the world, the teachings of colleges, and the prevalent doctrines of science and philosophy."--Health Monthly, New York.
"The friends of Professor Buchanan have been waiting now thirty years for him to make a proper public presentation of his greatest discovery,--psychometry, a discovery which the future historian must place among the noblest and greatest of this great epoch of human thought.... Every branch of the Theosophical Society should have a copy, and study the book carefully."--Theosophist, Madras, India.
