Item description from seller

Original publisher's beige paper wrappers. 9 1/2" x 12." Pages 49-72, complete. A few black-and-white illustrations, complete. Some pages unopened. Pages are clean and intact overall but have slight darkening, faint dampstaining throughout, slight chipping and wear to extremities, and slight wrinkling. A Good copy. The March 1855 (Vol. XXI, No. 3) issue of the American Phrenological Journal, a magazine dedicated to the pseudoscience of phrenology. Phrenology correlates features of the skull to personality traits and intelligence. The magazine also included other subjects such as science, news, poetry, and literature. The American Phrenological Journal was published from 1838-1911. The publisher of the magazine, Fowler and Wells, was founded in 1835 by brothers Orson and Lorenzo Fowler who were later joined by Samuel Wells. Although principally known as a publisher and phrenological institution, Fowler and Wells contributed to scientific fields such as physiology and hygiene. The following are the subjects in this issue as listed on front: "Phrenology--Influences of Mental States," "General Articles--The Esquimaux [Eskimo], illustrated with Portrait and Phrenological developments of Uget; Criminal Legislation; Hints to Emigrants; What pursuit shall I follow!; Brain and Thought," Architecture--Octagon and Gravel Wall Houses," "Events of the Month--Domestic; Foreign," "Poetry--Go plant a Vine," "Flower and Garden Seeds by Mail," "Notes and Queries," "Field's Traveling Bridge, Cut and description," "Literary Notices," "Business--Patent Office Department," "Miscellany--Natural Death; Power of Nations; Singular feature in Lunacy; Men of the Revolution; Effects of Lightning on the Human System," and "Lord Palmerston [Henry John Temple], with Portrait, etc., etc.".
