"Phrenological Development of Robert Burns" by George Combe is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century, specifically in the period surrounding the 1830s. The book explores the phrenological analysis of the celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns, using a cast of his skull to delve into the relationships between physical cranial features and mental faculties, as proposed by phrenology. In this work, Combe presents a detailed analysis of Burns's skull dimensions and the corresponding implications for his character and faculties. He discusses various organs of the brain as they relate to Burns's personality traits, such as his strong passions, artistic talents, and complex emotional nature. The analysis indicates a unique blend of large emotional attachments and moral sentiments alongside notable animal propensities, suggesting a character capable of both significant good and great turmoil. Combe reflects on how Burns's circumstances likely affected the expression of these innate traits, ultimately pondering the potential outcomes had Burns been afforded a different status in life.
