About Phrenology: English science in the Victorian era was fascinated by the human brain.
Phrenology was one of the imaginative results of highly creative research.
Moods, knowledge storage, creativity and sensitivity are some of the "faculties" that were carefully listed and endowed with a precise location in the skull.
A doctor's office was not complete without a mock-up of a skull describing the areas associated with each of the various faculties.
