What is the relation that can exist between the hair and the character? Has the first an influence upon the second? No; the following is the way in which it should be considered. Every man has his peculiar kind of organization and constitution. This forms the temperament; now, to each kind is attached on the one hand this or that species of hair, and on the other the predominance of some internal viscera, which though less apparent is not less real. This predominance disposes evidently to certain passions, which are the principal attributes of character; then the colour of the hair and character are two different results from the same cause, viz. constitution; but one has no influence upon the other. The hair coming out of the cutaneous pores has such a direction, that that of the anterior part of the cranium is almost always oblique in front, and tends to fall over the forehead; that of the middle and posterior part pierces the skin perpendicularly, and that of the posterior and inferior part traverses it obliquely, so as to fall naturally down the length of the posterior part of the neck. It is the same with that of the sides, which its direction as well as its weight, carries upon the region of the ear which it covers. _Eyebrows._ Upon the arch which borders the orbit above, is found a collection of hairs forming a portion of a circle more or less evident, which shades the eye and defends it from the too powerful impression of the rays of light. The hairs of the eyebrows are thicker together in persons of dark complexion, than in those of light. More numerous within, they sometimes unite together the two eyebrows upon the nasal prominence, and thus shade the root of the nose. Fewer without, they there cause the eyebrow to terminate in a point. All are obliquely directed from within outwards. Sometimes towards the internal side, they go perpendicularly forwards. Their length is scarcely more than half an inch; they do not exceed this except in some extraordinary cases. Their colour is usually, though not invariably, the same as that of the hair. They are firmer, more resisting and larger than the hairs of the head. If they were longer they would curl like the hairs on the genital parts, of the nature of which they partake.
