Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Dr. Spurzheim and George Combe: And a Review of the Science of Phrenology, From the Period of Its Discovery by Dr. Gall, to the Time of the Visit of George Combe to the United States, 1838, 1840 The origin of these few pages, designed to impart and perpetuate the teachings of three of the greatest philosophers of modern times, is sufficiently explained in the correspondence which closes this Preface. Since their preparation, Mr. Calvert, to whom this volume has been dedicated, has added another volume to his many admirable productions. To his "First Years in Europe," his numerous "Essays," to his volumes on Goethe, Rubens, Charlotte Von Stein, Wordsworth, and Shakespeare, he has just added one on Coleridge and Shelley, and closed with his address on Goethe, delivered before the Goethe Club of New York, Jan. 10, 1877. As an author of high tone, poetic conception, clear analysis, deep philosophy, and pure thought, he is to be ranked among the ablest in the country. It was his high privilege to be one of the first in the United States to ask public attention to Phrenology. In 1832 he edited and published a volume entitled "Illustrations of Phrenology; being a selection of articles from the Edinburgh Phrenological Journal, and the Transactions of the Edinburgh Phrenological Society. With twenty-six wood-cuts. With an Introduction. By George H. Calvert." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
