How to Become Rich: A Treatise on Phrenology, Choice of Professions and Matrimony

"How to Become Rich: A Treatise on Phrenology, Choice of Professions, and Matrimony" by William Windsor is a late 1800s scientific exploration where readers learn about phrenology and how their life choices result in either fortune or failure. Windsor introduces phrenology as a concrete science, more than just a technique, that can help you develop into someone who can achieve their career goals. The book begins with the author establishing himself as an authority on the subject and asking the audience to avoid biases when learning the phrenological concepts that he presents. Windsor identifies three different groups of people in his audience, separating them by their background knowledge of phrenology, and he uses these separations as a guide for the framework of discussions. The author presents the idea that phrenology is the science of intelligence and it can be used to measure character and capabilities using a cranial examination. Windsor explains future lectures, promising helpful and realistic advice when deciding on a career or partner. The author believes that understanding a person's traits is the key to achieving personal and financial success.
