Phrenology is a controversial pseudoscience that claims to be able to identify personality traits and abilities by examining the shape of the human skull. In this book, Williams defends the practice against its detractors, arguing that it is a valid and useful method of understanding the human mind. He provides evidence from case studies and scientific experiments to support his claims.

Excerpt from A Vindication of Phrenology I was first introduced to Felice Orsini, a highly educated, refined, and courteous Italian gentleman, in the autumn of 1857, and having lived for a while in Italy and witnessed the iniquities of the Austrian, Papal, and Ducal despotisms that crushed the nation, I heartily sympathised with his patriotic yearnings for the liberation of his country. He told me that the people were preparing for a great effort to repel the Austrians and drive the French army of occupation from Rome, but that the_ search for arms was so rigorous that no ordinary weapons could be imported or held by the Italian patriots. He had therefore invented a'new form of stellar gas: burner which could easily be converted into a bomb by simply unscrewing the radiating gas nipples and replacing them by gun nipples, or by making the gas nipples small enough to fit percussion caps. This gas head or receptacle was to be filled with an explosive composition, plugged at the place where it screwed to the gas-pipe, and the nipples armed with caps. It might then be used as a hand grenade to be thrown from house tops and windows among any of the soldiers of the enemy who should attempt to occupy the streets and fire upon the population of an insurgent town.

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.

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.
