Excerpt from Phreno-Physiology; Human Nature: The Evolution of Mind and Its Instruments Three hundred years before Christ, Aristotle wrote the first treatise on the mind. As he knew nothing of the uses of the nerves or the brain, he was forced to draw all his knowledge of the mind from his own internal consciousness, which he assumed to be a spirit. His system and method, with unessential modifications, has been taught, under the names of psychology and mental philosophy, more than a thousand years, in all our higher institutions of learning. It is a science of the mind with the organs of the mind left out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Edward Zeus Franklin Wickes was later famed (or at least notorious) for lecturing on physiology and contraception under the name Zeus Franklin. (Brodie in Contraception and Abortion in Nineteenth-century America notes that Wickes/Franklin's physiology lectures attracted the attention of the Boston Society for the Suppression of Vice.) His phrenological system here rests in part on the conceit of the physiognomical compass--or that 'The poles of all the organs of the brain and body center on the face, and form the features, by which the character, talents, and capabilities can be told instantly.'"--Antiquarian bookseller's description, 2016.

Excerpt from Familiar Lessons Oh Physiology, Vol. 1: Designed for the Use of Children and Youth in Schools and Families; Illustrated by Numerous Engravings Children are generally ignorant of the simplest laws which relate to their bodies, and to the functions of their minds. They are sent to school it is true, but are seldom instrucwd in these things there; and it is too often the case that they grow to maturity with habits which undermine their health, and bring them to an early grave; which might have been avoided if they had received proper instruction in early life. That it is important for children to know themselves, mentally and physically, is self-evident to every reflecting mind, and this being admit ted, the most direct means should be used to accomplish this object. A correct knowledge of the laws and principles of Physiology and Phreno logy is undoubtedly the most effectual medium through which this light can be obtained. And should, therefore, be extensively difi'used and dis seminated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
