George Combe (1788 - 1858) was a writer on phrenology and education, born in
Edinburgh, where for some time he practised as a lawyer. Latterly, however,
he devoted himself to the promotion of phrenology, and of his views on
education, for which he in 1848 founded a school. His chief work was The Constitution of Man (1828).
