A Vindication Of Phrenology (1894)

By William Mattieu Williams

Book Overview

A Vindication of Phrenology is a book written by William Mattieu Williams in 1894. Phrenology is the study of the shape and size of the human skull and how it relates to mental faculties and character traits. Williams defends phrenology against its critics and presents evidence to support its validity as a science. The book is divided into chapters that explore different aspects of phrenology, such as its history, the principles of skull measurement, and the relationship between brain size and intelligence. Williams argues that phrenology offers a valuable tool for understanding human behavior and character, and that its findings have important implications for education, criminal justice, and social policy. He also addresses common misconceptions about phrenology, such as the belief that it is a form of racial or ethnic profiling. Overall, A Vindication of Phrenology is a comprehensive defense of a controversial field of study that has long been the subject of debate and criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
