According as these organs are more or less elevated and well formed
that peculiarity of character which they indicate is more or less
present.
PHYSIOGNOMY, OR THE FEATURES OF THE HEAD AND FACE, teaches us to judge
of the character of a person and of events connected with his destiny
from the shape, color and expression of his features. If my fair
readers would like to know how many husbands they are to have, they
have only to knit their eyebrows closely together, and count the folds
of the skin formed by this movement.
If they wish to see how many years they have to live, let them elevate
their brows as much as possible, and then count the cross folds in the
forehead. Subtract the number found from one hundred, and the remainder
is the number of the years which it is allotted you to pass upon this
earth.
OF THE NOSE. A bold, projecting nose, usually called a Roman nose,
denotes an enterprising temper. In general a large nose is a good sign.
A long nose is a sign of good sense, a stumpy one generally indicates
the contrary. A perfectly straight nose denotes a high and noble
spirit, unless the expression of the eyes contradicts this judgment,
and then it denotes great stupidity. A turned up nose signifies a
spirit of mischief, wit, forwardness, that is, if it is not too
stumpy. A very small nose indicates good nature, yet at the same time
a complete want of energy. A red nose denotes a cheerful temper, or an
inclination to drink, as all the world knows.
OF THE LIPS. Very thick lips indicate either great stupidity or very
great genius. Very fine thin lips denote falsehood, especially if
they are usually compressed. Swelling lips, if generally compressed,
denote great decision of character, a philosophical turn of mind, and
oftentimes somewhat of obstinacy. A mouth always open says as plain as
words can speak, “I am a calf.”
OF DIMPLES. Dimples in the cheeks signify roguery. But the dimple in
the chin the God of Love has himself imprinted with his own divine
finger.
OF THE EYE. The soul, however, dwells particularly in the eyes, and the
faculty is inborn with every man to understand their language without
ever having studied it. At least it should be so; the eyes should be
like an open book, which all may read and understand. But as all eyes
are not to be trusted, and will sometimes lead you astray, I will give
you, my dear readers, a few rules to guide you in your path through
life.
A clear eye, with the pupil in continual, slightly tremulous movement,
denotes a good memory, yet something of selfishness with slowness of
comprehension.
