Historical context & sources

Phrenology and Historical Medicine

Phrenology is a discredited pseudoscience. Randolph’s claims are of interest as historical evidence of popular medical culture, domestic morality and gender expectations at the end of the nineteenth century, not as modern medical advice. An author portrait faces the title page.
