Orthodox Phrenology (1871) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164967446)

Orthodox Phrenology is a book written by Ambrose Lewis Vago in 1871. The book is an exploration of the science of phrenology, which was popular in the 19th century. Phrenology is the study of the shape and size of the human skull in order to determine a person's character and mental abilities. Vago's book is a comprehensive guide to phrenology, explaining the history of the science, the different methods used to measure the skull, and the different areas of the brain that are associated with different personality traits. He also discusses the controversies surrounding phrenology, including criticisms of the science as being pseudoscientific and racist. Orthodox Phrenology includes detailed illustrations and diagrams of the human skull and brain, as well as case studies and examples of phrenological analysis. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it easy for readers to understand the complex concepts of phrenology. Overall, Orthodox Phrenology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of psychology and the development of scientific thinking in the 19th century. While phrenology is no longer considered a valid science, this book provides insight into the ways in which people in the past attempted to understand the workings of the human mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
