A Course of Six Lessons on the New Art of Memory, Phrenotypics: or Brain Printing and Mental Improvement is a book written by Francis Fauvel Gouraud and published in 1846. The book is a guide to a new method of memory improvement called phrenotypics. This method involves using the principles of phrenology, a pseudoscientific theory that claims that the shape and size of a person's skull can reveal their mental faculties, to create a visual map of the brain. This map is then used as a memory aid, with each mental faculty represented by a specific location on the map. The book is divided into six lessons, each of which covers a different aspect of the phrenotypic method. The first lesson provides an overview of phrenology and its principles, while the second lesson explains how to create a phrenotypic map of the brain. The third lesson covers the use of the phrenotypic map as a memory aid, while the fourth lesson focuses on mental improvement techniques that can be used in conjunction with phrenotypics. The fifth lesson discusses the use of phrenotypics in education, particularly in the teaching of languages and history. The final lesson provides examples of successful phrenotypic practitioners and their achievements. Throughout the book, Gouraud emphasizes the practical applications of phrenotypics and its potential to revolutionize the field of memory improvement. Overall, A Course of Six Lessons on the New Art of Memory, Phrenotypics: or Brain Printing and Mental Improvement is a fascinating look at a now-discredited method of memory improvement. It provides insight into the pseudoscientific theories of the time and the ways in which people attempted to improve their mental faculties.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
