1810 Neurology 1ed Brain Anatomy Spurzheim & Gall Physiognomy Phrenology FOLIO

Johann Spurzheim was a notable Germany physician who was one of the most prestigious 19th-century doctors, along with Franz Gall, to endorse phrenology as a science. Gall and Spurzheim

"invented and advanced the 'science' of phrenology, a concept holding that the moral, sexual, and intellectual traits of an individual are linked to corresponding protuberances of the brain which in turn manifest themselves as lumps on the skull." (HoH 792)

Spurzheim, a native German speaker, produced several works on phrenology and physiognomical systems, in which he explored his theories on the human brain.

This enormous folio of "Anatomy of the Nervous System" is illustrated with 17 engravings of human anatomy and views of the brain and nervous system.
