The Phrenological Magazine, published in London from 1880 to 1896 under the editorship of Alfred Thomas Story, is the most literate British record of phrenology in its declining years. Its density of phrenological vocabulary is unmatched by any other nineteenth-century title in this archive, and its project is twofold. On one side it defends the science: expounding the doctrine of the cerebral organs and craniology, arguing the case for the localisation of mental function in the brain, and publishing biographies of the discipline's founders and champions as a form of advocacy. On the other it practises the art, in vocational and character advice, in guidance on choosing between candidates for a post, and in the small entertainments of reading a stranger's trade from his head and face. Around this run the enthusiasms phrenology travelled with — hygiene and diet, hydropathy and physical culture — together with real attention to the clinical hypnotism then displacing it, and the London secularist milieu whose lecture circuit it shared. It is a cultured rearguard action for a science the mainstream had begun to abandon. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
