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
