Excerpt from L'Art de Connaitre les Hommes par la Physionomie, Vol. 4
On nous demandera donc peut - être pourquoi 110119 plaçons ici quelques articles d'anatomie, qui nous ont paru indispensables, et que la science et la philoso phie désiraient également dans l'ouvrage de lavater. Il semblerait d'abord que ce genre de connaissances devrait être entièrement relégué dans les ouvrages de médecine; et que l'on ne peut en parler un instant aux gens du monde, sans faire naître les impressions les plus pénibles sans offenser même leur délicatesse et blesser leur sensibilité.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the practice of physiognomy, which is the art of discerning a person's character or temperament from their outer appearance. Particularly, it focuses on the correlation between facial features and national origin. Despite the difficulty in precisely defining these relationships, the author maintains that there are indeed perceptible differences in the physiognomies of people from different nations. The author positions this analysis within the broader study of human diversity and the potential for cultural advancement. Through detailed observations of individuals from various backgrounds, the author attempts to identify the specific characteristics that distinguish one nationality from another. The book's insights offer valuable contributions to our understanding of the relationship between physical appearance and cultural identity, highlighting the intricate connections between our outer selves and our inner qualities.
