Phrenology Information

Hello Victorianists,

As requested, I have for you a site with information, including abundant imagery, on phrenology.  Phrenology, you will recall, is the pseudo-science of interpreting character from the bumps and indents of the cranium.  When characters in Jane Eyre speak of "reading" faces or fronts (foreheads), or about locating characteristics within the body (e.g., "organ of veneration"), they are practicing phrenology.
