Outlines of lectures by Joseph R. Buchanan, a Cincinnati physician-lecturer, printed in 1854 from lectures given in 1841 and 1842 on his neurological system of anthropology, a phrenology-style theory of mind and body. The pictures are plain line-drawn profile heads with lettered regions marking the brain's supposed faculties, which a designer might borrow for a diagram of divided or labelled head zones.
