Some account of Dr. Gall's new theory of physiognomy founded upon the anatomy & physiology of the brain, with the critical strictures of C. W. Hufeland.
An 1807 London treatise by Henry Crabb Robinson, published by Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme, presenting Franz Joseph Gall's theory of physiognomy based on brain anatomy, with critical remarks by Hufeland, for physicians and readers of the period. The first picture is a Renaissance-style engraved bookplate with an arched cartouche, scrolled foliage and a open book beneath a dagger-like pair of crossed rods, while the second is a lithographed skull in profile with numbered phrenological zones and handwritten annotations around it, giving a designer strong contrast between ornate border work and clinical diagram.
