Notes From Elsewhere
A prominent member of the Anthropological Society, having been one of the founders of the Ethnological Society in 1861. He also edited a journal called The Future: a journal of philosophical research and criticism circa 1860, and had brought out an Ethnological Journal as early as 1848. Earlier he had published a treatise on phrenology with a the fulsome title Phrenological Enquiries: Being an Investigation, First of the Causes which Have Prevented the General Reception of Phrenology, Secondly, of the Nature and Advantages of the Researches of Its Advocates, and Elucidating the Imperfections of the "present System," and the Improvements and Discoveries of the Author (1840). Burke knew and corresponded with Burton, who had been a co-founder of the break-away Anthropological Society in 1863 and its Vice-President. “With Mr. Luke Burke, I hold, as a tenet of faith, the doctrine of great ethnic centres, and their comparative gradation.”[54]
