Horae Phrenologicae: Being Three Phrenological Essays, On Morality; On The Best Means Of Obtaining Happiness; On Veneration (1829)

By John Epps

Horae Phrenologicae is a collection of three essays on phrenology written by John Epps and published in 1829. Phrenology is a pseudoscientific theory that suggests that the shape and size of the skull can reveal a person's character traits and mental abilities. In the first essay, Epps explores the relationship between phrenology and morality, arguing that understanding the structure of the brain can help individuals make better ethical decisions. The second essay focuses on the pursuit of happiness and how phrenology can guide individuals towards the most effective means of achieving it. The final essay discusses veneration, or the act of showing respect and admiration, and how phrenology can help individuals understand the importance of this virtue. Overall, Horae Phrenologicae provides insight into the phrenological beliefs of the early 19th century and their application to personal development and ethical decision-making.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
