Item description from seller

Original publisher's beige paper wrappers. 9 1/2" x 12." Pages 49-72, complete. A few black-and-white illustrations, complete. Pages are clean and intact overall but have darkening, light to moderate chipping and wear to extremities, several stains, and slight wrinkling. Pages may have been exposed to moisture. A Good copy. The March 1854 (Vol. XIX, No. 3) issue of the American Phrenological Journal, a magazine dedicated to the pseudoscience of phrenology. Phrenology correlates features of the skull to personality traits and intelligence. The magazine also included other subjects such as science, news, poetry, and literature. The American Phrenological Journal was published from 1838-1911. The publisher of the magazine, Fowler and Wells, was founded in 1835 by brothers Orson and Lorenzo Fowler who were later joined by Samuel Wells. Although principally known as a publisher and phrenological institution, Fowler and Wells contributed to scientific fields such as physiology and hygiene. The following are the subjects in this issue as listed on front: "Phrenology: Dr. Pritchard and Phrenology," "Biography: Tecumseh; Ralph Waldo Emerson," "Physical Geography: Terrestrial Forms," "Psychology: Premonitions; Psychological Aids to Invention," "Practical Essays: Phrenology and Professions; Economy of Science and Art; Andrew Jackson Downing," "Editorial: Temperance; Practical Phrenology," "Agriculture: March Farm Work," "Events of the Month: Domestic; Foreign," "Chit Chat," "Business," "Literary Notices," "Notes and Queries," "Poetry: Legacies of Thought; Catalogue ofSeeds; List of Books," and "Advertisements: Old Clinton Hall; Universal Time.".
