Description
Phrenology Considered In A Religious Light: Or Thoughts And Readings Consequent On The Perusal Of Combe�������s Constitution Of Man (1846) by Mrs. John Pugh is a book that explores the relationship between phrenology and religion. Phrenology is the study of the shape and size of the human skull as an indicator of mental faculties and character traits. The book is a response to George Combe�������s Constitution of Man, which was a popular phrenological text in the 19th century.The author, Mrs. John Pugh, examines the claims made by Combe and other phrenologists from a religious perspective. She argues that phrenology is not incompatible with Christianity, and that it can even be seen as supporting certain religious beliefs. Pugh also discusses the potential dangers of phrenology, such as the possibility of using it to justify prejudice and discrimination.Throughout the book, Pugh provides examples of how phrenology can be applied to various aspects of life, such as education, marriage, and criminal justice. She also includes readings from the Bible and other religious texts to support her arguments.Overall, Phrenology Considered In A Religious Light is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between science and religion in the 19th century. It offers a unique perspective on phrenology and its implications for society, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
