George Combe



         


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 A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature.
