Description
Henry Shipton Drayton and James McNeill wrote Brain and Mind, a manual of mental science on phrenological lines, first copyrighted in 1879. Drayton and McNeill hold that the brain is a bundle of organs, each tied to one faculty. Head shape and size, read with care, show the mind at work.
Early chapters sort the temperaments and set out how organs grow with use. Hope, set near Veneration, joins Acquisitiveness and Cautiousness to make the bold speculator who rebounds from failure. Later parts map single faculties, Agreeableness among them, to spots on the skull. Cases of genius, idiocy, and brain injury fill the proof. The hosted scan is a Google Books copy, wrapper and all. Victorian self-culture in its most confident form stands here.
