WAM 01209.005— Subject The topic of the resource Boston Phrenological Society Phrenology Casts Description An account of the resource The Boston Phrenological Society was formed in 1832 after the death of the prominent phrenologist Johann Gaspar Spurzheim (1776-1832). The society was founded by Nahum Capen (1804-1886) on the day of Spurzheim's funeral and popularized phrenology across the United States. The group began publishing a quarterly journal, The Annals of Phrenology, in 1833. This journal published detailed rebuttals to skeptics of phrenology, case descriptions and personal anecdotes, and a defense of the relevancy of phrenology to fields like social welfare and mission work. The society collected busts, cast, skulls, and drawings through solicitations to readers of the journal. This collection was purchased by John Collins Warren (1778-1856) in 1847, at which time the Society dissolved, and moved to Harvard Medical School. This collection contains 31 phrenology casts originally owned by the Boston Phrenological Society. Most of the casts in this collection are of complete heads and some are of skulls. These casts were collected by the Society between 1832 and 1847. Many of the casts in this collection were originally owned by Johann Gaspar Spurzheim.

This cast was created in 1835 after Winslow's death and was initially in the possession of the Boston Phrenological Society. Dr. Spurzheim, a leader in the study of phrenology, brought his knowledge and cast collection to America in 1832. After his death, the newly formed Boston Phrenological Society possessed his collection of skulls and casts. Dr. John Collins Warren purchased the collection in 1847 after the Society’s dissolution. In 1849, Dr. Warren took physical custody of the collection and temporarily transferred it to the Warren Museum of Natural History on Chestnut Street, before moving the collection to its intended permanent location in the new medical school building on North Grove Street. The phrenological collection was left in the basement of the old Medical School building on North Grove Street when the Medical College moved to a different building on Boylston Street in 1880. In 1911, the North Grove Street building was being demolished and the collection was almost destroyed. Dr. R. H.

The society was founded by Nahum Capen (1804-1886) on the day of Spurzheim's funeral and popularized phrenology across the United States. The group began publishing a quarterly journal, The Annals of Phrenology, in 1833. This journal published detailed rebuttals to skeptics of phrenology, case descriptions and personal anecdotes, and a defense of the relevancy of phrenology to fields like social welfare and mission work. The society collected busts, cast, skulls, and drawings through solicitations to readers of the journal. This collection was purchased by John Collins Warren (1778-1856) in 1847, at which time the Society dissolved, and moved to Harvard Medical School. This collection contains 31 phrenology casts originally owned by the Boston Phrenological Society. Most of the casts in this collection are of complete heads and some are of skulls.

This phrenological cast was likely created or acquired in 1828 by Dr. Johann Spurzheim (1776 – 1832). Dr. Spurzheim, a leader in the study of phrenology, brought his knowledge and cast collection to America in 1832. After his death, the newly formed Boston Phrenological Society possessed his collection of skulls and casts. Dr. John Collins Warren purchased the collection in 1847 after the Society’s dissolution. In 1849, Dr. Warren took physical custody of the collection and temporarily transferred it to the Warren Museum of Natural History on Chestnut Street, before moving the collection to its intended permanent location in the new medical school building on North Grove Street. The phrenological collection was left in the basement of the old Medical School building on North Grove Street when the Medical College moved to a different building on Boylston Street in 1880. In 1911, the North Grove Street building was being demolished and the collection was almost destroyed. Dr. R. H. Fitz intervened and the collection was moved to the Administrative Building of the Harvard Medical School.

The society was founded by Nahum Capen (1804-1886) on the day of Spurzheim's funeral and popularized phrenology across the United States. The group began publishing a quarterly journal, The Annals of Phrenology, in 1833. This journal published detailed rebuttals to skeptics of phrenology, case descriptions and personal anecdotes, and a defense of the relevancy of phrenology to fields like social welfare and mission work. The society collected busts, cast, skulls, and drawings through solicitations to readers of the journal. This collection was purchased by John Collins Warren (1778-1856) in 1847, at which time the Society dissolved, and moved to Harvard Medical School. This collection contains 31 phrenology casts originally owned by the Boston Phrenological Society. Most of the casts in this collection are of complete heads and some are of skulls.

This collection was purchased by John Collins Warren (1778-1856) in 1847, at which time the Society dissolved, and moved to Harvard Medical School. This collection contains 31 phrenology casts originally owned by the Boston Phrenological Society. Most of the casts in this collection are of complete heads and some are of skulls. These casts were collected by the Society between 1832 and 1847. Many of the casts in this collection were originally owned by Johann Gaspar Spurzheim.

This phrenological cast was likely created or acquired between 1812 and 1832 by Dr. Johann Spurzheim (1776 – 1832). Dr. Spurzheim, a leader in the study of phrenology, brought his knowledge and cast collection to America in 1832. After his death, the newly formed Boston Phrenological Society possessed his collection of skulls and casts. Dr. John Collins Warren purchased the collection in 1847 after the Society’s dissolution. In 1849, Dr. Warren took physical custody of the collection and temporarily transferred it to the Warren Museum of Natural History on Chestnut Street, before moving the collection to its intended permanent location in the new medical school building on North Grove Street. The phrenological collection was left in the basement of the old Medical School building on North Grove Street when the Medical College moved to a different building on Boylston Street in 1880. In 1911, the North Grove Street building was being demolished and the collection was almost destroyed. Dr. R. H. Fitz intervened and the collection was moved to the Administrative Building of the Harvard Medical School.

The Boston Phrenological Society most likely acquired a copy of a Belin cast from Edinburgh Phrenological Society founder George Combe when his American lecture tour stopped in Boston in 1838. Combe derived his cast from the original cast created by the Paris Phrenological Society. Belin had lived in Paris and died there in 1835.
