Synopsis
The working principles of character analysis are so clearly explained herein that the reader can gain a good working knowledge without recourse to other texts. However, appropriate reference works are indicated for the benefit of those who wish to continue their studies. The subject matter covers phrenology, palmistry, physiognomy, and graphology, as well as a study of oriental character analysis which has been included in this edition. Of special note are illustrations of some unusual items, such as the phrenological bust designed by Dr. Fowler, an old French diagram on character reading through studying the joints of fingers, 17th century woodcuts of resemblances between human and animal faces, and a facsimile of the last handwriting of Marie Antoinette before her execution.

From the Publisher
The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934 for the purpose of assisting thoughtful persons to live more graciously and constructively in a confused and troubled world. The Society is entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control. Dedicated to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems, the Society's program stresses the need for the integration of religion, philosophy, and the science of psychology into one system of instruction. The goal of this instruction is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, to recognize his proper responsibilities and opportunities, and to understand and appreciate his place in the unfolding universal pattern.
About the Author
Manly P. Hall was the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. In over seventy-five years of dynamic public activity, he delivered more than 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, and authored countless books, essays, and articles. In his lectures and writings, Manly Hall always emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion as they applied to daily living. He restated for modern man those spiritual and ethical doctrines which have given humanity its noblest ideals and most adequate codes of conduct. Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Manly Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose.
