About this book
The Illustrated Self-Instructor In Phrenology And Physiology is a popular self-help manual on the pseudo-science of phrenology by Lorenzo Niles Fowler (1811-1896), the American phrenologist who with his brother Orson Squire Fowler ran the leading nineteenth-century American phrenological publishing firm, Fowler and Wells of New York. The Fowlers popularised phrenology across the United States and Britain through lectures, head readings, and a long series of pamphlets and books, and Lorenzo Fowler's china head with the labelled regions of the supposed mental faculties remains an iconic Victorian object. The Self-Instructor presents the standard system of phrenological character reading for the home user, with diagrams of the head, descriptions of the supposed faculties, and instructions for self-examination. The book is a primary source for the social history of nineteenth-century popular psychology. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
