Summary
Details

Phrenology is a pseudoscience involving measuring bumps on the skull in order to predict mental faculties and personality traits. First published in 1899, this volume contains a collection of vintage essays and articles related to phrenology written by various authors and practitioners of the time. Contents include: What Phrenology Is, by G. E. O'Dell , The Phrenological Faculties: Their Use and Abuse, by S. E. O'Dell , Character Sketches , On Matrimonial Selection , Child Life , Mental Gravitation , Mental Vitality , A Theory of the Soul , A Theory of Punishment , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on phrenology.
