Orthodox Phrenology is a book written by Ambrose Lewis Vago in 1871. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of phrenology, a pseudoscientific theory that claims to determine personality traits and mental abilities based on the shape and size of the skull. In the book, Vago presents the principles of phrenology and its history, as well as the different organs of the brain and their corresponding faculties. He also discusses the practical applications of phrenology, including its use in education, criminal justice, and medicine. The author argues that phrenology is a legitimate science that can provide valuable insights into human behavior and character. He defends the theory against its critics and presents numerous case studies and anecdotes to support his claims. Overall, Orthodox Phrenology is a fascinating and controversial book that sheds light on a now-discredited field of study. It provides a unique perspective on the history of psychology and the development of scientific thought in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
