Remarks on Dr. Elliotson's strictures on Spurzheim / by Henry Haley Holm.

Holm, Henry Haley., Royal College of Surgeons of England · 1838 · [London] : [publisher not identified], [1838] · 3 pictures

This 1838 London pamphlet by Henry Haley Holm, held by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, answers Dr. Elliotson's criticisms of the phrenologist Spurzheim, and its subject is phrenology. Its three pictures are an engraved brain seen from above and a brain in its skull, both with numbered cerebral convolutions, plus a folding map of hill country with a mountain range and river valleys, drawn in fine ink line; a designer might borrow the numbered-diagram labelling or the hatched engraved contours for scientific-looking plates.
