Marriage : its history and ceremonies : with a phrenological and physiological exposition of the functions and qualifications for happy marriages

By L. N. Fowler. New-York : Fowlers & Wells ... and by Booksellers generally, 1847.

A mid-nineteenth century illustrated book about the functions and qualifications for happy marriages. A very popular pseudo-science at the time this book was written, phrenology constitutes the foundation of the discussion. Phrenology drew connections between the shape of the human skull and personality traits. These methods are in varied ways used in this work which also focuses on psychological approaches to describing happy or unhappy marriages.
