The origin of craniology is attributed by 'an author who has lately
published a dissertation upon the subject to
John Rohan de
Retham, who published a
tract thereon, in the year
1500 [...]. The fable [of craniology] is, therefore, as obsolete as it is
absurd; and presents but the "organic remains" of a craniology exploded more
than three hundred years ago' (198).
