In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fair. (IMPORTANT NOTE: The book itself is the original 1894 printing; however the cover and dustjacket appear to have been recently made and fitted to the book. It still remains as an historic piece of debunked science). An 1894 pop-science guide written by Nelson Sizer and Dr. Henry S. Drayton. Published in…New York by Fowler & Wells Co.—the dominant late 19th-century publisher of phrenological texts—the book served as an accessible, mass-market handbook designed to teach laypeople how to judge human character, intelligence, and moral disposition by evaluating cranial contours and facial features. Describes: Phrenology ("Bumpology"): Maps mental faculties, emotional traits, and talents directly to specific regions and "bumps" on the human skull. Physiognomy: Interprets facial traits, eye spacing, nose shape, chin line, and expression to assess temperament, moral capacity, and mental tendencies. Temperaments: Classifies individuals into various physiological types (e.g., Motive, Mental, Vital) to explain behavioral tendencies and physical constitution. The book contains dozens of woodcut and vignette engravings illustrating head shapes, facial profiles, and temperament types. It relies heavily on visual comparisons using historical figures (such as Napoleon), notable contemporaries, criminals, "idiots," and non-human animals (like dogs and horses) to demonstrate visual contrasts. Also includes guides on choosing professions, evaluating personal health, managing marriage compatibility, and distinguishing sanity from "lunacy". First published in 1885, the book was a massive commercial success for Fowler & Wells, running through dozens of printings (reaching upwards of its 90,000th copy by the late 1880s). Today, it is recognized as a quintessential primary source representing Victorian pseudo-science, physical anthropology trends, and the popular culture of character assessment in 19th-century America.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and accessible exploration of the human mind and its relationship to the physical structure of the brain. Published in the 19th century, the book delves into the history of studying character and its indications, highlighting the impact of phrenology, a con…troversial theory that attempted to link mental faculties to specific areas of the brain.

By blending science and observation, this book offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of the human mind and its potential for both good and evil, leaving the reader with a renewed appreciation for the complexity of human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

A practical late 19th-century manual on phrenology and physiognomy, exploring the interpretation of facial features and head shapes as tools for character study. Writ…ten for a general readership, it reflects the popular interest in pseudoscientific methods of personality assessment and includes observations intended to guide the reader in applying these theories.
