The Phrenological Character of Edward Kelly (18/11/1880)

The outline which I propose to give of the character of Edward Kelly is drawn entirely from phrenological data ; and as I have given proofs of the correctness of my phrenological judgment of more than one executed criminal, of whose character I had no previous knowledge before the examination of his head, I trust that the public, and especially the authorities of the law, may give due consideration to the character herein drawn in strict accordance with phrenological science.
