Book Descriptions:
An age old science developed by Franz Joseph Gall, M.D. of Vienna. This great researcher uncovered these long forgotten scientific secrets revealed by specific sections of the brain. "I declare myself more indebted to Phrenology than to all the metaphysical works I ever read. I look upon Phrenology as the guide to philosophy and the handmaid of Christianity. Whoever disseminates true Phrenology is a public benefactor." Horace Mann "We owe Phrenology a great debt. It has melted the world's conscience in its crucible and cast it in a new mold, with features less like those of Moloch and more like those of humanity. Even if it has failed to demonstrate its system of correspondence it has proved that there are fixed relations between organization, mind and character. It has brought out that great doctrine of moral insanity which has done more to soften legal and theological barbarisms than any one doctrine I can think of since the message of peace and good will to men." Oliver Wendell Holmes "All my life long I have been in the habit of using Phrenology as that which solves the practical phenomena of life. I regard it as far more useful and far more practical than any other system of mental philosophy which has yet been evolved." Reverend Henry Ward Beecher "I readily confess that until I became acquainted with Phrenology, I had no solid foundation upon which I could base my treatment for the cure of insanity " Sir William Ellis Physician to Lunatic Asylum, Middlesex, England "As an explanation of the powers of the mind and human character I declare that the Phrenological system of Mental Philosophy is so much better than all other systems, as the electric light is better than the tallow candle." William E. Gladstone. Dr. Franz Josef Gall was born at Tiefenbrunn near Pforzheim in Baden, Germany, on March 9, 1758. He studied at Strassburg and Vienna, receiving his doctorate in 1785. He practiced medicine in Vienna for more than 30 years. Much of that time he was widely known and respected as a brain specialist. His professional standing was such that at one time he was offered and declined the post of Physician to the Court of Austria. This sort of professional background is a guarantee of Dr. Gall’s fitness for scientific research. His methods of brain dissection were so much in advance of anything previously attempted, as to arouse the interest of even the great Cuvier. Gall was the first to trace the nerves of the brain to their ending to detangle and unfold the convolutions and other parts of the brain structure. Dr. Gall made the discovery relating to the successive developments of different parts of the nervous system. This he at one time presented before the Committee of the Institute of France. The Committee promptly rejected Dr. Gall’s findings and condemned the as fallacious. Many other important brain discoveries made by Dr. Gall were, for the most part condemned by the scientists of his day. But now they are known to every student of the subject. Had Dr. Gall devoted himself entirely to these discoveries, his ranking as one of the foremost scientific researchers of all time would have been recognized long ago. His two greatest discoveries were the relationship between mind and matter and the localization of specific brain centers. Theses were so far in advance of the thought of his day as to arouse fanatical persecution. Throughout the ages this kind of professional blindness has invariably attended every attempt at human advancement and enlightenment. That he was fully aware of the need for further research is evidenced by his own statements. His exhaustive writings established on a firm scientific basis the relations of mind to matter and the true functions of the brain.
