Description

1839 1st ed Phrenology Occult Pseudoscience Psychology George Combe Lectures

George Combe was a 19th-century Scottish phrenologist known for a series of lectures intended to instruct European and American scientists on phrenology. “Lectures on Phrenology” includes discussions on the application of phrenology, as well as case studies of skull measurement. These lectures, along with this work, helped grow the interest in phrenology; however, the scientific community never recognized it as more than a pseudoscience.
