L N FOWLER QUOTED THESE FAMOUS WORDS 

These are on the back of the bust. 

"For thirty years I have studied Crania and living heads from all parts of the world, and have found in every instance that there is a perfect correspondence between the conformation of the healthy skull of an individual and his known characteristics. To make my observations available I have prepared a bust of superior form and marked the divisions of the organs in accordance with my researches and varied experience." - L.N. FOWLER.
