Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. 2nd Edition. One of the publisher's New Thought Library series of books. Revealingly, the flap copy of the dust jacket lists other titles - 'uniform with this Volume' - such as Astrology, A Manual of Hypnotism, Hand-reading etc. The dust jacket, while in a sound overall state for its age, has had a diamond shaped section at the middle of the spine cut out - see image (note the similarity to the Acquisitiveness Phrenal Organ shape in the cover diagram). There is also some edgewear and fading in places. The pea green cloth boards with red titles and Greek facial profile are in a strong condition with only a slight crease mark towards the bottom left-hand corner of the upper board. Condition (internal): pages are fairly tanned throughout; especially at the page margins. The main condition-related points to note are the following: (i) the frontispiece portrait (signed yours faithfully by the author - presumed to be printed) has become detached from the book block. (ii) the table of phrenological organs (in chapter III) has been carefully enumerated in pencil (1-42 organs of the brain) - see image. Crown 8vo. 120 pp. Illustrated.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First edition. A very scarce and intriguing phrenological study inspired by the growth in circumference of David Lloyd George's brain. The first edition of The Business Head of the Future, a very scarce study in phrenology, written by English historian and phrenologist Joseph Millott Severn. Undated, published circa 1913. In the publisher's original paper wraps. Using the case study of British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Severn argues that the increased circumference of George's head proves that a new type of 'business brain' is emerging in the modern day. Despite phrenology being today considered as a pseudoscience, one cannot help but find this little work intriguing. Severn was a president of the British Phrenological Association which lasted from 1880-1967. In the publisher's original paper wraps. Externally, mostly smart, with slight fading and faint signs of browning to wrap extremities. Pastedowns are clean with minor fading to extremities. Internally, firmly bound.
