Excerpt from Examination of the Objections Made in Britain Against the Doctrines of Gall and Spurzheim: Article of the Foreign Quarterly Review

He is never at a loss, and arrogates at least the the appearance of talents. If his own authority is not sufficient to impose on the public,'a sacred band of literary oligarchs answer for his correct ness, and, for that reason, he assumes the mighty we of sovereignty.
