"A young man in civilian dress, Battier, and two officers of the Tenth Hussars, are having their shaved heads inspected by six grotesque practitioners of phrenology, two to each. On the wall, besides pendent skulls, is a placard : Craniums examined and fitness developed.-- 1. Penetration--2. Folly--3. Insolence--4. Conceit--5- Benevolence--6. Ideality--7. Civility--8. Self Love 9. Brutality 10. Pride with Ignorance! Battier is identified by a paper at his feet, To Co . Bat**; he has a head of ideal shape; one expert says to the other: No, wont do for the 10th to omuch of No. 1-- 5 and 7--. One officer (left) sits in back view, he has a grotesquely misshapen head with lateral protuberances; the inspecting expert says to his colleague: No. 9 Conspicuously. The other (right) sits in profile; he is without a forehead, with an absurdly extended back to his head. One phrenologist, smelling his cane, says: No 3 and 4 very clear. The other adds: Heres the 10th the 10th the 10 to a demonstration."--British Museum online catalogue
