Notes on the United States of North America during a Phrenological Visit in 1838–39–40

George Combe (1788-1858) was an influential British phrenologist. These volumes, first published in 1840, contain Combe's account of a phrenological lecture tour he undertook in the United States between 1838-1841, and provide valuable details concerning nineteenth-century American society. Volume 2 covers his stay in Philadelphia and Maine.
