A new system of phrenology
A New System of Phrenology is an 1839 treatise on phrenology by J. Stanley Grimes, published in Buffalo, New York, by Oliver G. Steele and in New York by Wiley & Putnam, written for readers interested in the study of head shape and character. Its pictures are engraved profile heads with numbered skull regions, and eye and brow studies, showing how a designer might use plain line profiles and labelled diagrams to suggest pseudo-scientific charts.
