Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of American phrenology and the insights it provides into human nature. From its earliest origins in the 1830s to the establishment of The American Institute of Phrenology in 1865, the book traces the development of phrenology as a science. The author p…resents the ideas, theories, and practices of the field's key figures, including Nelson Sizer, Charlotte Fowler Wells, and others. The book explores the diverse applications of phrenology, from its use in education, medicine, and law to its role in social reform movements. By examining the impact of phrenology on 19th-century American society, this book sheds light on the intellectual and cultural currents that shaped the era's understanding of the human mind and behavior. 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.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. 8vo., vi, 78 pages, 4 engraved plates at rear, original blindstamped cloth with upper cover and spine titled in gilt. A generally VG+ clean, tightly bound copy of this scarce anonymous work on the hand. "The Hand Phrenologically Considered" by Anonymous is a scie…ntific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the relationship between the mind and body, particularly focusing on how the shape and structure of the hand reflect various mental and physical characteristics of individuals. It explores theories around phrenology, which sought to correlate human behavior and personality traits with specific physical attributes. In this book, the author examines various forms of hands and their corresponding mental dispositions, arguing that the characteristics of one's hand-such as size, shape, and texture-can provide insights into temperament and cognitive abilities. The text categorizes hands into distinct types: elementary, sensitive, motive, and psychical, each linked to different stages of mental development and emotional capacity. The author draws from historical examples and contemporary observations, suggesting that the study of hand shapes can contribute to a broader understanding of human nature and individual differences, blending empirical study with philosophical inquiry.

Añadir al carritoCondición: Good. A printed "Phrenological and Temperamental" chart, filled out in manuscript by Prof. Henry Foster Smith for Mr. Thomas C. Ryall in January of 1860. Smith seems to be a relatively unknown figure, with one publication, "An essay on human magnetism, or the infant magnetism enrobed in its true panoply" (1844) attrib…uted to him. The chart provides some background information on phrenology and temperaments, and then scores the subject on them-Ryall was mostly of "nervous" temperament. At the bottom is a longer description of Ryall based on his test results: "This gentleman has large mental force + a little under medium vital force - well-balanced temperament, blending activity, strength + force - social + domestic organs full - great firmness + ability with high self-esteem which is modified by large approbativeness - strong reflective organs + concentrativeness - moderate energy of character - very cautious + at times hesitating - but when aroused has much force - hope should be encouraged - Religious organs large with a high sense of justice - mechanical talent good - mathematics excellent - philosophical cast of mind - excellent for civil engineering - agricultural life quite good." We find no copies of Smith's chart, filled out or otherwise, on OCLC or offered for sale, at the time of writing. . Single-sided sheet measuring 12 ¾ x 16 ½ inches. Folded with some small tears at folds and one other small hole; other wrinkling and folds especially to corners; some toning and discoloration.

Añadir al carrito1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the blank reverse. Refusing payment for his services, Spurzheim writes: 'Sat. Mg. | Dear Madam | We had agreed that I would give You my opinion as medical Man with the greatest pleasure as friend and not a practioner. I therefore take the…liberty of returning the encolsed. I shall pass by to see our little patient on my way to Woodcroft. | I am, with best respects, | Dear Madame | Yours truly | Spurzheim.' 'Woodcroft' may be Woodcroft House in Northamptonshire, for which see Gentleman's Magazine, April 1813, or the village in Greenford. In either case the connection with Spurzheim is unclear, although he did visit Britain on several occasions. From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter, son of Ida Macalpine, whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'. A scarce autograph.

Later brown endpapers and pastedowns. With the original endleaves bound in. Cooter 238.47. Oxford DNB, L. S. Jacyna, "Combe [Comb], George (17881858)". A major figure in phrenology, Combe founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820. Jacyna calls this book his most important and influential work, and records that it sold hundreds of thousands of copies throughout the nineteenth century. The Oxford DNB article notes that Combe's messages of individualism and his goal of improving the human condition resonated deeply with the reading public. Although Combe advocates certain problematic doctrines of phrenology, like a person's aptitude being determined by their brain shape and size, he also writes that those in lower-class upbringings can improve their fortunes with education and better societal treatment. He also advocates strongly for the end of capital and corporal punishment, and believes prison reform ought to be tailored towards a person's mind, not the punishment of their physical body. Finally, this publication drew criticism from the English clergy as the role of the divine is not at all discussed in the natural laws or in the human physiology that Combe outlines in his book. Combe instead offers a secular vision of how the world works and how it could be made better for human beings. A small chip to the spine label, a later bookplate on the front pastedown, an ink note on the free front endpaper.

Añadir al carritoTwo pages, quarto. On a discoloured piece of brittle, thin wove paper, with some fraying, several closed tears and a little loss (affecting three words). A long, able and closely-written defence of the discipline. '[.] | X appears decidedly opposed to an alarmed at the science, and feels himself awfully degraded with the compari…sons drawn by Phrenologists between the human species and the lower animals - that they should exist, breathe, and partake of, in a limited degree, corresponding qualities with the human race. [.] Neither do I believe that the cleverest Phrenologist will ever be able to tell the propensities or certain peculiarites of character to a single shade, as obstacles exist in Phrenologies as in other ologies'. Discusses of the 'structure of the human brain'. Concludes 'Was it not the will of the Deity that we should educate and improve our civilization and morality, he would not have endowed us with those qualities of reflection and research.' The celebrated coroner Thomas Wakley (1795-1862) had connections with Wiveliscombe, but given the nature of the piece it is unlikely to be his.

Añadir al carritoSOLE EDITION, 8vo, pp. 36. Extracted from a volume. Lightly toned, a little staining to upper corner. Ownership inscription of John Forbes to title-page. A scarce anonymous pamphlet wading into the battle Sir William Stirling Hamilton (1788-1856) fought against the practitioners of phrenology. The author takes up Hamilton?s side… against the pseudo-science but dismisses his methods. Hamilton had read two papers on the subject to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1825 and 1826 from which the conclusion was that phrenological methods lead to moral barbarism and atheism; this pamphlet insists on challenging the factual basis of the system rather than its moral import. It may well have been influential on Hamilton, who five years later published another paper focussing exclusively on actual observations of the brain and their disproving of phrenological methods. This copy belonged to John Forbes, probably the second son of Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo.

Añadir al carrito8vo, pp. 19, [1] blank, [of 24? but seemingly complete in itself], and without Part II 'Presenting a practical explanation of the science of phrenology' often bound together; with woodcut frontispiece; with numerous manuscript annotations throughout giving the character analysis, presumably in authorial hand; lightly browned thr…oughout with some spotting and soiling, with small tear to gutter of first leaf; stitched as issued, retaining the original rear pink wrapper only, a little dog-eared. Variant issue of this brief phrenological analysis of one 'Mast. Jas. A. Garochty, age 7 y' by the noted Boston phrenologist John Fletcher. Fletcher gave evening lectures and offered private examinations and written descriptions of individuals' character and abilities. This appears to be a variant, possibly earlier issue. The copies on OCLC call for pp. 23 for this first part, and indeed a digitised copy located at Stanford confirms this. However on comparison it shows two additional paragraphs have been added towards the end of the work, together with a small woodcut diagram, these revisions possibly done to coincide with the publication of 'Part II', providing a 'Practical explanation of the science of phrenology'. The typesetting on the present example is much more condensed. Offered here is Part I only, with some copies on OCLC noting both parts bound together. Fletcher had published a longer 176 page work on the subject, under the title, 'The Mirror of Nature, presenting a practical illustration of the Science of Phrenology, accompanied by a Chart' in 1838. OCLC seems to locate no copies of this shorter, assumed earlier variant, citing copies of the longer variant of Part I at Loyola Marymount, UCLA, Brown University and Michigan.
