Abstract:
"A phrenologist, De Ville, in his consulting room, feels the forehead of a loutish gaping youth who kneels on a cushion at his feet. Behind the boy stands his stupid-looking mother, grinning with delight at her son. De Ville, who wears plain old-fashioned dress, has a grotesquely shaped skull fringed with scanty hair; his left hand rests on an open book on his table on which is a skull, numbered phrenologically and resting on a paper: Thurtell [murderer] shown to be Craniologically an Excellent Character. Behind him stands an assistant with a porcine profile writing in a note-book: Very large Wit N° 32. A large book-case covers much of the wall (right). There are also portrait heads illustrating grotesque misshapen features, and a bust on a pedestal with a satyr-like profile."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
Description:
Title etched below image., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., Four lines of quoted text below title: "Pores o'er the cranial map with learned eyes, Each rising hill and bumpy knoll descries, Here secret fires, and there deep mines of sense, His touch detects beneath each prominence.", and For an earlier state before aquatint added, see no. 15157 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum. Division I, political and personal satires, v. 10.

Abstract:
"A phrenologist, ugly and dandified, standing behind a table, lectures to an informally grouped and stupid-looking audience; he holds his naturalistic brown wig, revealing a bald head covered with reddened protuberances. His Concluding Address is engraved in the lower margin: Ladies and Gentlemen Having thus concluded the hundred and thirty ninth article, under the Head or Section of Propensities: I shall take my leave until the next lecture, by clearly elucidating in my own person an instance of Due Proportion of Faculties: Talkativeness with Gulling, standing First: and further beg to testify, beyond all doubt, . . . that on the Craniums of this highly gifted and scientific Audience, the Organ of Implicit faith Under Evident Contradictions, Stands beautifully develop'd to a Surprising and Prominent degree Dear Ladies Worthy Gentlemen; adieu. Nearest the lecturer is a family party: anxious wife, amused husband, and small boy with a head abnormally protuberant at the back. Two bald men anxiously feel their bumps; an agitated woman presses her forehead. A man inspects a skull. On the lecturer's table, with one of Gall's plaster heads mapped out in numbered compartments, are writing materials and books, two with titles: Treatise on Elementary and Logic. Portrait busts, all bald, stand on the floor; busts illustrating different propensities decorate the room. Two are placed conspicuously on the floor in front of the table, Dr. [sic] Ville [see British Museum Satires No. 15157] and Gall. Others are of Spurzhim [sic], Scott, Shakespeare, W. Clive, and Tremaine. Two of a group of skulls are inscribed Thirtell [Thurtell, the murderer, executed 1824] and Pollard. The busts featuring character (with appropriate expressions) are Gazing Faculty, Slyness, Pride, Sleepiness, Consequence. The book-case behind the lecturer contains, besides books, a skull and a large jar of coloured liquid inscribed Gall, it stands on a large book, Opinions on Men and things; beside this are Lock on Understanding and Aristotle (propped by a skull). The other books with titles are Moore, Lavater [two volumes], Lectures on Nothing [? Outinian Lectures, see British Museum Satires No. 14773]; a rolled document, Doctrino Particularum, lies on two large books: Self Knowledge and Commentana Critica. Treatise on Magic, Harriette Wilson [see British Museum Satires No. 14828, &c], Duty of Man, Mackenzie ['Man of Feeling'], Treatise on Doubt, Philosophers Stone, Combe [two volumes], Treatise on Gold Making, Bells Brain [two volumes, 'New Idea of the Anatomy of the Brain', 1811]. On the wall are three pictures: Bumps, two little boys boxing with huge spherical gloves; Life's a Bumper, a fat 'cit' toping in an arm-chair; Tony Lumpkin, who cracks a whip, and shouts as in Goldsmith's play. Below these are pinned up a pictorial advertisement and three prints. The first is headed by a human eye and the inscription, Sold by Royal Patent Phrenological Hats Adapted to Every Protuberance of Faculty or Organ Yet Discovered, above a cluster of misshapen hats and a little man wearing such a hat; below: To be Had [in] Caster . . . Two prints illustrate bust portraits: Abstraction and Suspicion. The third, Prying, is a print of Paul Pry, see British Museum Satires No. 15138."--British Museum online catalogue

Below this is a tiny sentry-box and sentry, resting on a projecting lip, which, with the chin, cheek, and jaw is formed of masonry, from which, at the mouth, two small guns project. The side of the face is partly covered by a Union flag, with spears and a drum for ear, a sabre for the contour of the jaw.
