Still farther to increase the capacity of the lower part of the body, woman has the loins more extended than man. This portion of her body is in every way enlarged at the expense of neighboring parts. Hence, the chest is shorter above; and the thighs and legs are shorter below. The thigh-bones of woman are also more separated superiorly; the knees are more approximated; the feet are smaller; and the base of support is less extended. The reader desirous of thoroughly understanding these matters, should compare the beautiful plates of the male and female skeletons by Albinus and Soemmerring. Beauty of the locomotive system in woman, depends especially upon these fundamental facts, and those tendencies of structure which thus distinguish her from man. In the woman possessing THIS SPECIES of beauty, therefore, the face is generally somewhat bony and oblong;--the neck, less connected with the nutritive system, is rather long and tapering;--the shoulders, without being angular, are sufficiently broad and definite for muscular attachments;--the bosom, a vital organ, is of but moderate dimensions;--the waist, enclosing smaller nutritive organs, is remarkable for fine proportion, and resembles, in some respects, an inverted cone;--the haunches, for the same reason, are but moderately expanded;--the thighs are proportional;--the arms, as well as the limbs, being formed chiefly of locomotive organs, are rather long and moderately tapering;--the hands and feet are moderately small;--the complexion, owing to the inferiority of the nutritive system, is often rather dark;--and the hair is frequently dark and strong.--The whole figure is precise, striking, and often brilliant.--From its proportions, it sometimes seems almost aerial; and we would imagine, that, if our hands were placed under the lateral parts of the tapering waist of a woman thus characterized, the slightest pressure would suffice to throw her into the air. To this class belong generally the more firm, vigorous, and even actively-impassioned women: though it may doubtless boast many of greatly modified character. _First Variety or Modification of this Species of Beauty._ It may here be observed, that the varieties or modifications of each species of beauty naturally correspond with the greater or less development of some one of the various organs on which the species is founded. Thus, the modifications of beauty of the locomotive system correspond with the greater or less development of the bones, the ligaments, or the muscles; those of the nutritive system correspond with the greater or less development of the absorbents, the bloodvessels, or the glands; and those of the thinking system correspond with the greater or less development of the organs of sense, the brain, or the cerebel. A little reflection will show, that some of these modifications will be more, and others less beautiful.
