	History of Phrenology on the Web
		Fowler lectured widely in Britain and his tours led to the creation of new phrenological societies just as earlier lecturers like Spurzheim and Combe had inspired similar societies decades before.
		Therefore although the Fowler's phrenology was essentially borrowed wholesale and their doctrines of health, temperance, practical ethics and morality were virtually a transcript of Combe's Constitution of man (1828), the Fowler's rendition of these inspirations was at the same time something new.
		To the older phrenologists of Britain, Fowler phrenology was a vulgarisation.

	Orson Squire Fowler: Phrenology and Octagon Houses 1809-1887 by John H. Martin
		Orson Squire Fowler (1809 - 1887) is a name which is seldom recognized today, but in the middle of the nineteenth century Fowler was widely known as a proponent of various forms of self-culture, a career which began with the publication in 1843 of his Perfection of Character.
		Orson Fowler held forth for the equality for women at a time when women had virtually no legal rights in the United States, and he stood for children's rights when child labor was quite acceptable in the burgeoning industrial factories of his country.
		Orson Fowler was obviously a universal reformer whose ideas were much ahead of his time, but above all he was a nineteenth century individualist in what many have seen as an age of orthodoxy, piety, and conformity.

	Watertown’s Octagon House
		Fowler, was published in 1848, although he had written individual articles on the subject earlier.
		Fowler, a phrenologist who deciphered the contours and bumps on the human skull, advocated octagonal-shaped buildings because the walls of an octagon enclose more area than a square or rectangle with equal wall space.
		Fowler reasoned octagon houses were cheaper to build, eliminated dark corners, were easier to heat and remained cooler in summer.

		To this end, Lorenzo and his brother Orson Squire Fowler published books dealing with a variety of applications of phrenology to daily life, from how to discover the ideal mate to what qualities should be sought in an employee.
		Madeline B. Stern, literary historian and definitive biographer of the Fowlers, claims that Twain's terminology (i.e., "bumps" and "cavities") is inconsistent with that employed by the Fowlers.
		By the turn of the century, both Lorenzo and Orson Fowler were dead, having spent the bulk of their lives advocating a mostly discredited theory.

		Fowler, whose book spurred the construction of nearly 1000 octagon houses across the United States, was best-known as a promoter of popular phrenology.
		Fowler proposed that the act of building single-family houses was an innate urge, pinpointing the location of this trait within his model of the phrenological brain.
		According to Fowler, the octagon house was the architectural equivalent of the skull, and its endowments could be similarly interpreted to reflect the value of its interior life.

	19th-Century Adrian Architecture - Octagon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Fowler was a popular and persuasive writer and speaker, able to blend the era’s most divergent tendencies: on the one hand, an interest in novelty, efficiency and technology and on the other hand, a sense of loss that these things were undermining traditional agrarian values and social stability.
		He traveled the country lecturing on such topics as phrenology (a pseudo-science that claimed to be able to read a person’s personality in the bumps on his head), architecture, health, and social reform.
		Following his own advice, Fowler built a three-story octagonal home for himself in Fishkill, New York, that had all of these features—plus a roof designed to collect rain water, which was then filtered and sent around the house to the washstands and water closets.

		Unlike any other style, the popularity of the Octagon can be attributed to one person, the American Orson Squire Fowler, who is much better known for his work in phrenology - the study of analyzing a person's character traits by studying the configuration of the skull.
		There is no evidence that Fowler's book and theories were the basis of the design, but architects of ecclesiastical architecture were always concerned with the maximum "receptivity" of light (see Gothic) and any possible spiritual benefits that could be derived from the geometry of the design.
		This church is a lovely compact structure made of local field stone with lancet arches on all windows and a pointed two- centered arch on the transom of the main entrance.
