Book Overview
A Handbook of Phrenology, written by Cornelius Donovan and originally published in 1870, is a comprehensive guide to the study of phrenology, a popular pseudoscience in the 19th century that aimed to understand a person's character and personality traits by examining the shape and size of their skull. The book provides an overview of the history of phrenology, its key principles, and the various techniques used to analyze the skull. It also includes detailed descriptions of the different phrenological organs and their associated personality traits, as well as illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. Donovan's work is an important historical document that sheds light on the cultural and scientific beliefs of the time, and it remains a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of psychology and pseudoscience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
