Men are more indcbied to the merchant
than they generaliy know, or are willing to
acknowledge. He improves navigation, en-
ow 's geography, supports law, promotes
medic ne, civilizes "the world, cultivates
na ated histo: y and fosters science.
Among numberless occurrences that might
be adduced wo confirm this remark, there
is one of a late date that is worthy of par-
ticular notice. ;
it has long been known that certain!
tribes of the human race, subjected
h cads of thelr children to strong compres
sion, aud thereby altered the skulls, which
yas ip some instances Aa ity and, in oho
Cases, conical, It bas, hawever, scidom
been in the power, either ¢ of the anatomist 5 O1
of the moralist, to examine the ls of
persons w hich had 1 been so 5 squeezed and
dif igured To Col Thomos H. Perkins,
F Boston, the learned are mdebted for his
exertions to precure the skulls of the fla:
headed Indians for 2 inspection. They at
now in New Youl Ky and have been admired
by allthe curious citizens ihat have seen
them, since they were deposiied in” Mich-
ili’s museum iu Parclay sueet.
We have not had time to give a fulijdes-
cription of these extraordinary productions
and shall thevelore content ourselves with
such obvious remarks, as we were cnabled
to make during a short visit.
These skulls are flatened as if by the ac-
tion of a strong we ight, or mechanical pow-
er acting downward from the veriex o
topofthe head. This must have been
begun in early infancy, and continued for
the whole period of life during which the
bones were yeilding - and flexible. ~The
_conscquence 15 the t the frontal bone is. de-
pressed ialmosito an angle
of about four or five degrees: Thue patie:
tal bones are crushed down in a similar
manner, and made to assume as nearly as
maybe, a level surface. + In two of the
skulls, the coronal an d sagittal sutures are
much less distinct than common, and in
some paris aimost obliterated. The
most remavkable: effect of the violence
thus gradually done to the eraniam, is the
protrusion of the parietal bones, behind the
ears, to make room for the¢ compressed
‘and displaced brain. This con figuration
1s such as to impart to the head a delor-
med and monstrous appearance.
The informalioy given by this intelligent
and public spirited gentleman, 1s that the
- artificial compression and flattening. com
mence immediately after birth, and 1s more
especially practised by the families of con-
sideration and quality; and that slaves and
underlings only, are permiited to wear
their skulls of a natural and rounded form.
The physiological, moral, axd specula-
tive reasoning ¢hpt grows out of this sub-
. ject, is of great anterest and extent. We
understand that Col, Perkins has presented
one of the narilies to Di, Mitchill tor his ca-
