Previous systems.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 27 –68

Before introducing our own system of physiognomy, we shall present brief notices of two or three others advanced by writers who have preceded us. This will enable the reader to compare one with another, to see where they agree and where they conflict, and to judge how far originality and superior...
LitStream

Structure of the human body.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 69 –79

Some knowledge of the curious and wonderful mechanism of the human body will be found useful, if not to the student of practical physiognomy; and, though we can not enter into details here, we deem it desirable to present the general outlines of the system of anatomy on which our teachings in the...
LitStream

General principles.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 80 –93

It is mainly to the human form that physiognomy as a science or system, and as an art, is usually applied. In this narrower application we may define it as—a knowledge of the correspondence between the external and the internal man—between the physical system and the spiritual principle which...
LitStream

The temperaments.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 94 –109

The first condition to be noted in the study of character through its physical manifestations, is temperament; which may be defined as "a particular state of the constitution, depending upon the relative proportions of its different masses, and the relative energy of its different functions." In...
LitStream

Man and woman.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 110 –115

In applying physiognomical principles to the discernment of character, the important modifications resulting from sex must always be taken into account. The contours of man and woman, both in general form and in particular features are strikingly different; and what may be appropriate and...

General forms.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 116 –126

In the physiognomical examination of the human face, the first thing to be done is to observe its general outlines. These alone contain a synopsis, so to speak, of the whole character. The minuter markings—the details of the features—merely elaborate the leading ideas presented in the ensemble....
LitStream

Outlines of phrenology.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 127 –141

Physiognomy, as we understand and teach it, being based on Phrenology, it is necessary before entering upon the more practical details of the former to give such outlines of the latter as will enable the reader to understand any allusions we may make to it in the following chapters. (PsycInfo...
LitStream

Anatomy of the face.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 142 –150

We shall not require or expect the reader to familiarize himself with all the details of facial anatomy, but we shall have so frequent occasion to mention the principal bones and muscles of the face, that it is necessary to name and briefly describe them before going further. Having the...
LitStream

The chin.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 151 –161

No one can fail to be struck with the great variety which exists in the form and quality of the chin. It may be prominent or retreating; long or short; broad or narrow; pointed, round, or square; double or single, coarse or delicate. Few attach any importance to these differences, supposing them...
LitStream

The jaws and the teeth.

Wells, Samuel R.

Pages: 162 –167

We have spoken in the previous chapter (see record 2009-23983-009) of the lower jaw in some of its aspects. It will be necessary to refer to it here only in general terms and in connection with the upper jaw and the teeth. These, collectively, form the instrument of mastication, and, as such,...
