A Vindication Of Phrenology (1894) - William Mattieu Williams - Bog

A Vindication of Phrenology is a book written by William Mattieu Williams in 1894. The book is a defense of the science of phrenology, which is the study of the shape and size of the human skull as an indication of mental abilities and character traits. Williams argues that phrenology has been unfairly dismissed as a pseudo-science, and that there is significant evidence to support its claims. He provides a detailed history of phrenology, including the work of its founder, Franz Joseph Gall, and his successors. Williams also discusses the criticisms of phrenology, including those from the medical establishment and the emerging field of psychology. He argues that many of these criticisms are based on misunderstandings or misrepresentations of phrenology, and that the science has much to offer in understanding human behavior and mental processes. The book is a thorough and compelling defense of phrenology, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of this controversial science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
