After that look at all 19 photos above and below to confirm the contents of this historical journal. As you will see there is also plenty of advertising on the last several pages … in general for products that that the well-read and educated subscriber would be interested in, such as books and periodicals, but also services. I'm not exactly susre what one did with an electro-medical apparatus, but it was offered in this journal. Phrenology was not a religion, although many of the practitioners were religious. And it was not a science by today's standards, although it was touted as one at the time. If you aren't familiar with the practice of Phrenology, google this comprehensive explanation at "Facing a Bumpy History Smithsonian Magazine." It will help you better understand why Phrenology caught on all over the world, the many well-known people of that era who believed in it, and why this Journal was published. This historical Journal" is in good condition. It is complete, with all pages present, but there is some wear, especially on the corners, edges and spine. Archival tape was used to fix little tears throughout the journal, and make sure it survives well into the future. One leaf has a tear, where about 1/6 of the leaf is missing. There is also some age toning and spots of foxing and browning, and on the last page a previous owner did a small calculation in pencil (see photo.) This journal was string bound, but some of the string has come loose or is missing. Considering that this newspaper was published just shortly after the Civil War ended, and is almost 155 years old, it is actually not surprising that there is some wear. A rare and fascinating "1866, August edition of the 'Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated,' New York," and a fantastic addition to any Library or Collection of antique books and journals!!!!!--------------------PLEASE NOTE: We have quite a few newspaper editions, and will be listing them in the upcoming weeks and months.
