Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Phrenology Th following Treatise owes its origin to the conviction that there was both room and need for it. The only works which even pretend to give more than a mere outline, or grammar of Phrenology, offer to the public an account of the most popular of all sciences at the most anti-popular of all prices. The Author has endeavoured to furnish ample details of the theory of mind and morals, which forms the subject of this digest, at a cost which will render it accessible to the great body of the people. Phrenology has left the discoveries of its original expounders at a great distance behind. The Institutes of Gall and Spurzheim, excellent as in many respects they are, have now become almost obsolete. Mr. Combe's System contains an admirable exposition of the present state of the science; but as his views differ materially from those of many, and as his doctrines, both relative to the function of the organs and the applications of the principles of this new philosophy, were supposed to be liable to numerous and grave objections, the writer of this work was induced to undertake it for the double purpose of expounding his own opinions of the analysis of the faculties, and of exposing what he conceives to be the errors of others. That he himself has escaped from falling into many, he does not venture to hope - that he will be blamed for more than he has committed, he feels too well assured. But if he shall have succeeded in rendering a competent knowledge of the science more easily attainable, in exciting a healthy spirit of free inquiry, and, above all, in stimulating others to a more careful investigation of, and to fresh discoveries in, that most defective of all departments of Phrenology, its metaphysics, he shall rest satisfied that he has not written in vain.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Fundamental Principles of Phrenology Are the Only Principles Capable of Being Reconciled With the Immateriality and Immortality of the Soul AT the risk of being considered somewhat egotistie cal, I shall detail the history of my connexion with Phrenology. My medical education was commenced at Trinity College, Dublin, early in 1833. Towards the end of that year, it was arranged to take out Anatomical Dissections under Dr Power, who was highly spoken of as a lecturer at the Richmond School of Medicine. I repaired to his class - room, and there heard the first lecture on Anatomy I ever listened to. His subject was the Human Brain. There was a brain on the table, but the description he gave of it was quite unintelligible to me. He 'sliced it away from above downwards after the orthodox anatomical method. His descriptions of the different sections, as he used the scalpel, were very minute; but as he sliced away portion after portion he always took care to tell us that the use of this part, and this part, and this part, was not known. The whole affair appeared such a farce. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
