Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Phrenology
It is said by Voltaire, that the art of interesting is the art of writing. The saying is eminently applicable to lecturing, and this art Mr. C ombe possesses in a great degree; few can better rivet attention, or more intensely interest the nobler feelings of our nature. This sketch would be incomplete without reference to that under current of humour which so often sparkles to the surface, lighting up with peculiar brilliancy the lecturer''s vivacious eye, and affording amusement while it is used to impress on the memory important facts and principles.
