By A Barrister

Book Overview

Thoughts On Phrenology: Or Phrenology Tested By Reason And Revelation is a book written by A Barrister in 1841. The book is a critical examination of the pseudoscientific theory of phrenology, which was popular in the 19th century. Phrenology is the study of the shape and size of the human skull, which is believed to reflect the personality traits and mental abilities of an individual. In this book, A Barrister argues that phrenology is not a valid science and that it is based on flawed assumptions and faulty reasoning. He presents a detailed analysis of the phrenological system and its claims, and shows how they are contradicted by reason and scientific evidence. A Barrister also examines the religious implications of phrenology, arguing that it is incompatible with Christian doctrine and that it undermines the concept of free will. He cites biblical passages and theological arguments to support his case. Overall, Thoughts On Phrenology: Or Phrenology Tested By Reason And Revelation is a comprehensive critique of phrenology, which remains a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of science and pseudoscience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
