Description
Excerpt from Physiognomy: Or, the Corresponding Analogy Between the Conformation of the Features and the Ruling Passions of the Mind
IT has been asserted by thousands, that though there may be some truth in physiognomy, still it never can be a science. These assertions will be repeated, how clearly soever their objections may be answered, and however little they may have to reply. Physiognomy is as capable of becoming a science as any one of the sciences, mathematics excepted. It is a branch of the physical art, and includes theology and the belles lettres. Like these, it may to a certain extent be reduced to rule, and acquire an appropriate character by which it may be taught.
