On the functions of the cerebellum / by Drs. Gall, Vimont, and Broussais ; translated from the French by George Combe: also answers to the objections urged against phrenology by Drs. Roget, Rudolphi, Prichard, and Tiedemann; by George Combe and A. Combe.
An 1838 Edinburgh treatise by George Combe and Andrew Combe, with translated work by Gall, Vimont and Broussais, arguing for phrenology and the functions of the cerebellum, aimed at readers of phrenological debate. The engravings are anatomical: a skull in profile marked with phrenological lines, a pair of skulls compared side by side, a sagittal section of the brain with the cerebellum and brainstem, and an underside view of the brain with numbered divisions. A designer could draw on their fine parallel hatching and precise labelled linework for scientific diagrams.
