A phrenology lecture book by G.S. Weaver, delivered in 1851 to the Anthropological Society of the Western Liberal Institute in Marietta, Ohio, and published in London by James Burns in 1876 for a general readership interested in mental science. The pictures are woodcut-style head diagrams divided into labelled regions of faculties and propensities, with small vignettes of human scenes inside the skull outlines, which a designer could use as a model for schematic mapping layouts, labelled cutaway diagrams, or Victorian pseudoscience motifs.
