The practical phrenologist and recorder and delineator of the character and talents of [blank], as marked by [blank] : a compendium of phreno-organic science
A phrenology manual by Orson Squire Fowler, published in Boston in 1869, meant for practical readers who wanted to judge character from the shape of the head. Its pictures are numbered wood-engraved profile heads with dotted leader lines pointing to skull regions, a plain diagrammatic system a designer could borrow for labelled anatomical or scientific figures.
