The Patent Hat: Designed To Promote The Growth Of Certain Undeveloped Bumps (1855) is a book written by Philo. The book is focused on the idea of a hat designed to promote the growth of certain undeveloped bumps on the head. The author claims that these bumps, which are associated with specific mental faculties, can be stimulated by the use of a specially designed hat. The book provides detailed descriptions of the hat and its construction, as well as instructions for its use. The author also includes testimonials from individuals who have used the hat and experienced positive results. The book is a fascinating look at the history of pseudoscientific theories about the relationship between the shape of the skull and mental abilities. While the ideas presented in the book are not supported by modern science, it provides an interesting glimpse into the beliefs of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
