A phrenology treatise by Johann Spurzheim, with notes by Robert Willis, published in London around 1830 for students and readers interested in the mind and its bodily basis. Its pictures are engraved profile heads of men and a young person, marked with Roman numerals and lines that map the skull into regions, giving a designer a clear vocabulary of numbered diagrams, hatched shading, and stippled hair texture.
