A phrenology-based treatise on education, written by John Hecker and published by the author in New York in 1867, addressed in a series of letters to the city's Department of Public Instruction. The pictures are engraved diagrams of a phrenological bust and head overlaid with a gridded globe, its faculty labels such as acquisitiveness and destructiveness scattered across the skull, and a designer could take the nested grid-and-label structure as a model for dense radial diagrams.
