Description:
This is the report of Whitman’s phrenology examination performed by Lorenzo Fowler at Clinton Hall. Fowler wrote his assessment of Whitman's traits and dispositions based on measurements of the poet’s head and an examination of the skull for different enlargements and indentions, which supposedly indicated the strength of different traits.
