Publisher's Synopsis
Phrenology Or The Doctrine Of The Mental Phenomena is a book written by J.G. Spurzheim that explores the concept of phrenology, a popular theory in the 19th century that suggested that the shape and size of a person's skull could reveal their character traits and mental abilities. The book delves into the history of phrenology, its key principles, and the various ways in which it was practiced and applied. It also provides a detailed analysis of the different regions of the brain and their corresponding functions, as well as case studies and examples of phrenological diagnoses. Despite its controversial nature and eventual decline in popularity, phrenology remains an important historical and cultural phenomenon, and this book provides valuable insights into its origins and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
