Original publisher's beige paper wrappers. 9 1/2" x 12." Pages 97-120, complete. A few black-and-white illustrations, complete. Pages are clean and intact overall but have moderate darkening, dampstaining throughout (mostly in lower corners of fore-edge), slight chipping and wear to extremities, former owner's signature in pencil in bottom margin on back, and slight wrinkling. A Good copy. The November 1854 (Vol. XX, No. 5) 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. Carpenter and Phrenology; Practical Phrenology," "Biography: Sarah Benjamin; Howard [prison reformer John Howard]," "General Articles: Phrenological Jottings; Medical Phrenology," "Social Science: The Science of Society," "Psychology: Psychological Facts," "Physiology: Anatomy and Physiology of the Senses," "Wearing the Beard," "Mechanics: Windmills," "Editorial: The Old Year; Sanity and Insanity [includes discussion of Captain Jonathan Childe's delusion that Queen Victoria was in love with him]," "Miscellany: Mesmerism in the Church; Lecturing and Lecturers; Practical Phrenology; The Gravel Wall; A Public Benefactor; A Nursery of Warriors; A Child among Lunatics; Veneration paralyzed," "Events of the Month: Domestic; Foreign," "General Notices," "Literary Notices," "Advertisements," and "Notes and Queries.".…
