Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the second edition of the author's hugely successful tome on the budding science of phrenology. It is an ideal text for those wanting an easy introduction to the subject and comes illustrated with woodcuts by esteemed Scottish engraver Mr Bruce of Edinburgh. The author himself attended lectures by the founder of phrenology, Dr. Franz Joseph Gall, in Paris in 1825 and was thoroughly convinced of the validity of the new science and its ability to delineate human character and foibles. This book explains the author's journey from sceptic to advocate of phrenology, showing how he overcame initial prejudices to become a firm believer in the power of this new science. Now written in an entirely new and engaging style, and containing a series of illustrations in wood, executed by Mr Bruce of Edinburgh, the most skilful engraver of phrenological subjects in this country, the book is written in a question-and-answer method, providing an opportunity to address all the objections, however frivolous, which have been made to the science, and of meeting them with suitable replies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332266210_0
