Read from its 1820 Transactions, the Phrenological Society of Edinburgh is where organized British phrenology begins. Its content is pure founding doctrine: the fullest early elaboration of the system of cerebral organs and named faculties, the functions of the brain, craniology, and the authority of Gall, Spurzheim, and Combe. This is phrenology at its scientific birth as an organized enterprise — the moment the new “science of the mind” set out to establish itself, before any of the popular or commercial developments that would later define it.
