About the author

George Combe

1788–1858

A Scottish writer and lawyer, he became the best-known popularizer of phrenology in the 19th century and used it to argue for education, self-improvement, and social reform. His books reached a wide audience and helped spread debates about the mind, character, and human nature far beyond Britain.
