""A Handbook of Phrenology"" is a book written by Cornelius Donovan and published in 1870. Phrenology is the study of the shape and size of the human skull to determine a person's character and mental abilities. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of phrenology, including the history of the field, the different areas of the brain and their corresponding mental faculties, and how to interpret the bumps and contours of the skull. The author also includes case studies and examples to illustrate the practical applications of phrenology in everyday life. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of psychology and the pseudoscientific practices of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
