'''George Combe''' (21 October 1788 – 14 August 1858) was a Scottish lawyer and a spokesman of the [[phrenology|phrenological]] movement for over 20 years. He founded the [[Edinburgh Phrenological Society]] in 1820 and wrote ''[[The Constitution of Man]]'' (1828). After marriage in 1833, Combe devoted his later years to promoting phrenology internationally.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=http://www.theodora.com/encyclopedia/c2/george_combe.html |title=George Combe – Encyclopedia |website=www.theodora.com |access-date=2016-09-23}}</ref>
