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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on Phrenology: Or an Inquiry Into the Principles and Utility of the System of Drs; Gall and Spurzheim, and Into the Objections Made Against It The following are the circumstances which have led to the publication of this volume of Essays. My first information concerning the System of Drs Gall and Spurzheim, was derived from No. 49. of the Edinburgh Review. Led away by the boldness of that piece of criticism, I regarded the System as contemptibly absurd, and the authors of it as the most disingenuous of men. After this, however, in 1816, I accepted an invitation from a friend to attend a private dissection of a recent brain, to be performed by Dr Spurzheim. The subject was not altogether new, as I had previously attended a course of Demonstrative Lectures on Anatomy by Dr Barclay.
