Excerpt from How to Read Character in Features, Forms,& Faces: A Guide to the General Outlines of Physiognomy
But this original interpretation soon narrowed. By degrees Physiognomy came to be understood as relating only to the exterior appearance of objects, of men, and of animals of a lower grade. Popularly it has been defined and confined, as a study, to the features of the human face, and if we wish to ascertain a person's character we study his face. It will be with the face as an index to character that I shall chiefly devote myself in the series of chapters which I propose to include in this volume. Nor will they be very scientific either. They will assist readers to judge of character by the features and appear ance, and thus supplement Chiromancy and Grapho logy, with which kindred sciences people are already familiar.
