The wood-cuts of this work were taken from reduced drawings made with my own hands by
means of an instrument adapted to the purpose by my friend Mr. Phillips'. I had applied to several
artists to furnish these drawings, and the camera lucida and graphic mirror were both tried in vain.
On being furnished with the annexed drawing apparatus, (which might be called a Craniograph,) I
was soon able by practice to make my own drawings with great celerity and correctness. Some of
my earlier essays, however, are among the last in this work, and will be recognised by their want of
finish.
A represents a deal board six feet long and one foot wide; B B two brackets to support two
cross pieces one of which is seen at C, having an open space between them about two and a half
inches wide, and the centre of the space six inches from the board A; D a piece of board six inches
wide dovetailed to the end of the board A, supporting the. eye-piece E, the hole at E being six inches
from the board A, fifteen inches from the nearest surfaces of the two cross pieces C, and placed perpendicular
to the medial line of the board A; G a board dovetailed into the lower end of A. The
cranium was .adjusted on the board G, with its centre six inches from the surface of A; a piece of
glass was then laid over the opening between the cross pieces at C, where it was held down by a
screw. By looking down at the cranium F, through the eye-piece E , its outline and markings were seen
on the glass at C diminished to one quarter, and were traced out on the glass with a peh and India
ink, with great rapidity and accuracy. The drawings thus obtained on the glass, were then traced
with a pencil on paper pressed against the glass while held up to the light, after which the drawing
was finished with a pen. In the above cut the eye-piece is too high.
