A Vindication of Phrenology is a book written by William Mattieu Williams in 1894. In this book, Williams defends the scientific study of phrenology, which is the study of the shape and size of the human skull as an indicator of mental and emotional faculties. Williams argues that phrenology is a legitimate science, based on empirical evidence and observation. He refutes the criticisms of phrenology, which suggest that it is a pseudoscience or a form of quackery. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a different aspect of phrenology. Williams discusses the history of phrenology, its principles and methods, and the various objections that have been raised against it. He also provides examples of how phrenology has been applied in practical settings, such as in education and criminal justice. Overall, A Vindication of Phrenology is a comprehensive defense of phrenology as a legitimate and valuable field of study. It provides readers with a thorough understanding of the principles and methods of phrenology, and offers compelling arguments for its scientific validity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
