Abstract
The article discusses the early transmission of F. J. Gall's and J. G. Spurzheim's brain-based psychology in Britain, and in particular through S. T. Coleridge. The article shows how thoroughly the sage of High Gate engaged with the new theory arguing that Coleridge's ultimately rejected the theory on the grounds of Gall's and Spurzheim's compartmentalization of brain organ.
