"Truths for the million" : hand book & guide to physiology, psychology, physiognomy and phrenology / by Joseph Dyson.

Dyson, Joseph · 1885 · [Sheffield?] : The author, [1885] · 16 pictures

A popular 1885 handbook on physiology, psychology, physiognomy and phrenology, self-published by Joseph Dyson, probably in Sheffield, and aimed at a general readership. Its pictures are small line engravings of numbered phrenological head charts, a labelled brain-organ diagram with vignettes of human activities, a bull's head, and a frontal face chart with eyes and nose, useful for designers wanting Victorian pseudoscientific diagram styling.
