This book is a passionate defense of the controversial science of phrenology, which seeks to link the shape of the human skull to various mental faculties and characteristics. The author argues that phrenology provides valuable insights into human nature and behavior, and that it deserves to be taken seriously by scientists and the wider public. While phrenology is no longer widely accepted as a scientific discipline, this book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the intellectual debates of the 19th century.

Excerpt from A Defence of Phrenology: Containing, I. An Essay on the Nature and Value of Phrenological Evidence; II. A Vindication of Phrenology Against the Attack of Dr. John Augustine Smith IT is now universally conceded by physiologists that the brain is the organ Of the mind, and that the functions of the brain are worthy of the most careful and laborious investiga tion. To the defence and advocacy Of the doctrine of the functions of the brain, propounded by Dr. Gall, and commonly known by the term Phrenology, this work is devoted. It is important to the completeness of this defence, that it should be made manifest that the phrenologists have pursued, in arri ving at their conclusions, that method of investigation which has the sanction of reason and experience - in short, that their doctrines are the result Of a large induction Of appro priate facts.

William Armes presents a thought-provoking defense of the inquiry into mesmerism and phrenology in his compelling pamphlet. He recounts his personal journey from skepticism to astonishment as he witnesses mesmerism's mysterious phenomena. Addressing the arguments against inquiry, Armes challenges the notion that the truth of mesmerism threatens established beliefs. With a profound understanding of the intersection between science and faith, Armes offers a resolute call for open-minded exploration and invites readers to question the boundaries of knowledge.

Finalist for the 2022 Cheiron Book Prize An Organ of Murder explores the origins of both popular and elite theories of criminality in the nineteenth-century United States, focusing in particular on the influence of phrenology. In the United States, phrenology shaped the production of medico-legal knowledge around crime, the treatment of the criminal within prisons and in public discourse, and sociocultural expectations about the causes of crime. The criminal was phrenology’s ideal research and demonstration subject, and the courtroom and the prison were essential spaces for the staging of scientific expertise. In particular, phrenology constructed ways of looking as well as a language for identifying, understanding, and analyzing criminals and their actions. This work traces the long-lasting influence of phrenological visual culture and language in American culture, law, and medicine, as well as the practical uses of phrenology in courts, prisons, and daily life.

Through a reassessment of phrenology, Phrenology and the Origins of Victorian Scientific Naturalism sheds light on all kinds of works in Victorian Britain and America which have previously been unnoticed or were simply referred to with a vague 'naturalism of the times' explanation. It is often assumed that the scientific naturalism familiar in late nineteenth century writers such as T.H. Huxley and John Tyndall are the effects of a 'Darwinian revolution' unleashed in 1859 on an unsuspecting world following the publication of The Origin of Species. Yet it can be misleading to view Darwin's work in isolation, without locating it in the context of a well established and vigorous debate concerning scientific naturalism. Throughout the nineteenth century intellectuals and societies had been discussing the relationship between nature and man, and the scientific and religious implications thereof. At the forefront of these debates were the advocates of phrenology, who sought to apply their theories to a wide range of subjects, from medicine and the treatment of the insane, to education, theology and even economic theories. Showing how ideas about naturalism and the doctrine of natural laws were born in the early phrenology controversies in the 1820s, this book charts the spread of such views. It argues that one book in particular, The Constitution of Man in Relation to External Objects (1828) by George Combe, had an enormous influence on scientific thinking and the popularity of the 'naturalistic movement'. The Constitution was one of the best-selling books of the nineteenth century, being published continuously from 1828 to 1899, and selling more than 350,000 copies throughout the world, many times more than Dawin's The Origin of Species. By restoring Combe and his work to centre stage it provides modern scholars with a more accurate picture of the Victorians' view of their place in Nature.
