James Stanley Grimes was born in Boston on May 10, 1807. Although he wrote a tremendous amount, little is known about him personally. He married Frances Warner in 1832, but never remarried after she passed away in 1848. He graduated from Union College in 1840, went on to teach law the following year at Castleton Medical College.

He wrote extensively on issues of science, religion and human advancement as well. The Mysteries of the Head and Heart is broken into three sections, with the first discussing phrenology, the second examining physiology...

This book is a curious blend of phrenology, geology, and spiritualism that attempts to explain the origin and development of humanity in quasi-scientific terms.
