The soul of the founder of the Jesuits was, therefore, strikingly accordant with the revelation of his physiognomy; although, were it true, that he was—in the vulgar sense—a Jesuit, the Greek Nose and generally a more delicate caste of countenance, would more correctly have pourtrayed his inner man. But the founder of the Jesuits was no Jesuit, and had his original _Constitutions_ been adhered to, the Order would never have achieved the bad eminence which it so rapidly attained, so long held, so quickly lost, and so tenaciously still aspires after. As by far the majority of persons have compound Noses, and as their consideration will therefore throw additional light upon the system, we shall add a few observations upon some of them. The Roman Nose may be compounded with Classes II and III, rarely with IV; seldom or never with V and VI.[11] Compound I⁄II,—the Romano-Greek Nose.[12] The following are instances of Noses of this sub-class:— Alexander the Great. Constantine. Wolsey. Richelieu. Ximenes. Lorenzo de’ Medici. Frederick II. of Prussia. Alfred. Sir W. Raleigh. Sir P. Sidney. Napoleon. Associated with much physical energy (I), these persons all exhibited much refinement of mind, a love for Arts and Letters, considerable astuteness and capacity of scheming; (II) they saw far and quickly, though deficient in deep philosophical powers of thought. A rather more extended notice of some of the members of the sub-classes will be requisite; as, of course, their characters were less developed, and therefore less known, than those of the pure classes; but principally in order to point out the more minute touches, and, apparently, inconsistencies of character which illustrate the compound form of Nose. [Illustration: CONSTANTINE. (_From a gem in the Florentine Museum._) ] CONSTANTINE, having by a felicitous union of enterprise and cunning procured his elevation to the Imperial throne, and having defeated the last of his rivals to that splendid dignity, directed his attention to the concentration rather than the extension of his enormous empire, and sought, by building Constantinople, to divert the minds of the people from foreign war and intestine discord; while he at the same time fostered and encouraged the arts by the magnificent decoration of the new capital, to which he brought from Asia and Greece some of their most splendid productions.
