Phreno-geology : the progressive creation of man : indicated by natural history, and confirmed by discoveries which connect the organization and functions of the brain with the successive geological periods
An 1851 Boston treatise by the American writer J. Stanley Grimes, published by Munroe, arguing from geology and natural history that human mental faculties evolved across successive periods, aimed at a general reading public. The pictures are outline profile drawings of heads with numbered phrenological zones and a sectioned brain, plain engraved line work that a designer could borrow for diagrammatic or scientific-antique graphics.
