George Combe (1788-1858) was an Edinburgh-based phrenologist who came to wield a tremendous intellectual influence in the mid nineteenth century. An advisor to Price Albert: the mentor of Richard Cobden: a formative influence on George Eliot: Combe provided intellectual inspiration to a generation of political and educational reformers. Combe's name fell into obscurity due to his connection with the discredited pseudo-science of phrenology, and this will be the first full-length study of his life and work since 1879. Among the subjects explored are the connections between phrenology and political reform, Combe's role as a public lecturer, and a detailed consideration of his Constitution of Man (1828).

乔治·库姆（George Combe, 1788-1858）是一位居住在爱丁堡的颅相学家，在19世纪中期产生了巨大的学术影响。普莱斯·阿尔伯特的顾问；理查德·科布登的导师；对乔治·艾略特的影响：库姆为一代政治和教育改革者提供了思想灵感。由于他与声名狼藉的伪科学颅相学的联系，库姆的名字变得默默无闻，这将是自1879年以来对他的生活和工作的第一次全面研究。本书探讨的主题包括颅相学与政治改革之间的联系，库姆作为公共讲师的角色，以及对他的《人的宪法》（1828）的详细考虑。
