Introductory paragraph: In surveying the external world, we discover that every creature and every physical object has received a definite constitution, and has been placed in cer…tain relations to other objects. The natural evidence of a Deity and his attributes is drawn from contemplating these arrangements. Intgelligence, wisdom, benevolence, and power, characterize the works of creation; and the human mind ascends by a chain oif correct and rigid induction to a great First Cause, in whom these qualities must reside.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Faded maroon cloth, blind stamping to boards, faded gilt titles to spine, a little worming in the joints which remain strong, 7 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches, a little soil at the top of the front board. xii, 396 generally clean pp., foxing on the end papers and adjacent leaves. George Combe (1788-1858), b. Edin…burgh, Scotland; d. Surrey, England. Combe was a lawyer who devoted his career to the promotion of phrenology. His beginnings in this field was to give twice weekly lectures at his home, and to collect casts of heads. The book offered for sale here began as a collection of lectures offered in Edinburgh in the winter of 1826-7, later greatly expanded.He founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820 and published his widely-popular The Constitution of Man in 1828. The book was denounced as materialist and atheist in philosophy, but is credited with successfully promoting naturalistic progressivism in the decades leading to Darwin's publication of On the Origin of Species. It has been said that his main argument in the book is "Mental qualities are determined by the size, form and constitution of the brain; and these are transmitted by hereditary descent."In this book Combe applies the philosophy of Locke to the study of science, in much the same way that others applied it to the study of politics. His one theme is that of phrenology as a Natural Law which is the key to all philosophical and social problems, and the means of providing human happiness. Fifth American Edition, Materially Revised and Enlarged.

An excellent first edition copy of this scarce title. Notes: First edition of George Combe's landmark 19th-century work that popularised phrenology and argued that human happiness depends on conforming to natural laws. Combe proposed that physical, organic, and moral laws govern existence, and understanding these dictates behavioural, educational, and moral improvements. Combe founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820. Jacyna calls this book his most important and influential work. Cooter 238.47. Oxford DNB, L. S. Jacyna, "Combe [Comb], George (17881858)".
