""Some Account of Dr. Gall's New Theory of Physiognomy: Founded Upon the Anatomy and Physiology of the Brain and the Form of the Skull"" is a book written by Christian Heinrich Ernst Bischoff in 1807. The book provides an overview of the new theory of physiognomy developed by Dr. Gall, which is based on the study of the anatomy and physiology of the brain and the shape of the skull. The theory proposes that certain mental faculties and character traits are associated with specific areas of the brain and can be identified by examining the bumps and contours of the skull. The book describes the history of physiognomy, the scientific basis of Dr. Gall's theory, and the practical applications of the theory in fields such as medicine, psychology, and criminology. The author also includes critiques of the theory and its methodology, as well as a discussion of its potential limitations and ethical implications. Overall, ""Some Account of Dr. Gall's New Theory of Physiognomy"" provides a comprehensive introduction to a groundbreaking theory in the field of psychology and neuroscience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
