This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Samuel Roberts Wells was born in West Hartford, Connecticut, the son of Russell Wells of Farmington, Connecticut, and a descendant of Thomas Welles, who emigrated from England, was living in Hartford in 1636, and became governor of Connecticut.
Apprenticed in his youth to the trade of tanner, he practised his trade for some years but was ambitious for medical training. The direction of his life was determined, however, by making the acquaintance of the phrenologists, Lorenzo Niles Fowler and Orson Squire Fowler, in Boston in 1843. He joined the Fowlers on their lecture tour as an assistant and later accompanied Lorenzo Fowler on lecture tours in the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, and Scotland. In 1844 he became a member of the publishing firm of O. S. & L. N. Fowler, which was then known as Fowlers & Wells. Later the firm became Fowler & Wells. After Lorenzo Fowler removed to England, Wells was the sole proprietor. Primarily the advocate of phrenology and physiognomy as a means of reading and guiding human character, and as a basis for proper selection in marriage, he also believed in the various other reforms and fads of the period, hydropathy or water cure, temperance, and a vegetarian diet. He taught the utility of shorthand. He advocated improved methods of agriculture, including proper cultivation of the soil, rotation of crops, irrigation, draining, subsoiling, proper fencing, and the proper selection of improved agricultural implements. He was by disposition a businessman. Although he undoubtedly believed sincerely in the value of phrenology and its allied methods of character reading, he had an uncritical and unscientific mind. He continued to exploit his beliefs long after they had been discredited. Always ready to listen to new or popular theories, his publishing firm became the voice of much eccentric, trivial, and unsound speculation. From 1850 to 1862 he edited the old Water Cure Journal. He edited the Illustrated Annual of Phrenology and Physiognomy from 1865 to 1875. From 1863 to 1875 he edited the more important American Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated, edited earlier by Nelson Sizer. The title was changed in 1870 to Phrenological Journal and Packard's Monthly, and in 1871 to Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated. He died in New York City.

On October 13, 1844, he married Charlotte Fowler, the sister of the phrenologists, herself a pioneer phrenologist in America.
