Notes on Noses by Eden Warwick
QR code
"Notes on Noses" by Eden Warwick is a book published in 1848 as an elaborate parody of phrenology. Under the pen name Eden Warwick, solicitor George Jabet created a mock-scientific classification system dividing noses into six main classes, each supposedly revealing their owner's character and temperament. Originally titled "Nasology," this satirical work critiqued contemporary science while presenting detailed nasal analyses for men, women, and different nationalities. Despite its humorous intent, the book
was widely taken seriously by newspapers, magazines, and even doctors throughout the nineteenth century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
