Descrizione

The Late Mr. George Combe, 1858. Scottish lawyer and promoter of the pseudoscience of phrenology. Portrait from a lithograph by Schenck and McFarlane. 'He wasa guide and a teacher of his fellows; a philosopher who made evident the duty which the soul owes to the body, and taught the importance of the physical, moral, and social, no less than of the intellectual, nature of man. It was not for him merely to map out the brain, or to accept the maps of othersIt was his gift, his calling, his duty, and his highest pleasure to show the justice and the beneficence of the Great Creator - who made the eye for sight, the ear for hearing, and the brain for the manifestation of intelligence and willHis last great work, which he at one time intended to be posthumous, was published in the autumn of 1857. It is entitled "The Relation between Science and Religion," and carries further to their conclusions some of the doctrines which he had previously laid down than he had ventured on in his earlier publications. This work has already gone through four editions, and been translated into German'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858. Creator: Unknown.
