SHORT LIFE may be inferred from a thick tongue; the appearance of grinders before the age of puberty, thin, straggling and uneven teeth, confused lines in the hand, of a quick but small growth. A GOOD GENIUS may be expected from a thin skin, middle stature, blue bright eyes, fair complexion, straight, pretty strong hair, an affable aspect, the eyebrows joined, moderation in mirth, an open, cheerful countenance, and the temples a little concave. A DUNCE may be known by a swollen neck, plump arms, sides, and loins, a round head, concave behind, a large fleshy forehead, pale eyes, a dull heavy look, small joints, snuffing nostrils, and a proneness to laughter, little hands, an ill-proportioned head, either too big or too little, blubber lips, short fingers, and thick legs. FORTITUDE is promised from a wide mouth, a sonorous voice, grave, slow, and always equal, upright posture, large eyes, pretty open and steadfast, the hair high above the forehead, the head much compressed or flattened, the forehead square and high, the extremities large and robust, the neck firm though not fleshy, a large corpulent chest, and brown complexion. BOLDNESS is characterized by a prominent mouth, rugged appearance, rough forehead, arched eyebrows, large nostrils and teeth, short neck, great arms, ample chest, square shoulders and a forward countenance. PRUDENCE is generally distinguished by a head which is flat on the sides, a broad square forehead, a little concave in the middle, a soft voice, a large chest, a thin hair, light eyes, either blue, brown or black, large eyes, and an aquiline nose. A GOOD MEMORY is commonly attached to those persons who are smaller, yet better formed in the upper than the lower parts, not fat but fleshy, of a fair, delicate skin, with the poll of the head uncovered, crooked nose, teeth thick set, large ears with plenty of cartilage. A BAD MEMORY is observable in persons who are larger in their superior than inferior parts, fleshy, though dry and bald.—N. B. This is expressly contrary to the opinion of Aristotle, who says that the superior parts being larger than the inferior signify a good memory, and _vice versa_. A GOOD IMAGINATION AND THOUGHTFUL DISPOSITION is distinguished by a large prominent forehead, a fixed and attentive look, slow respiration, and an inclination of the head. A GOOD SIGHT is enjoyed by those persons who have generally black, thick, straight eye-lashes, large bushy eyebrows, concave eyes, contracted as it were inwards. SHORT-SIGHTED PEOPLE have a stern, earnest look, small, short eyebrows, large pupils and prominent eyes. SENSE OF HEARING: those who possess the same in perfection, have ears well furnished with gristle, well channelled and hairy. THE SENSE OF SMELLING is most perfect in those who have large noses, descending very near the mouth, neither too moist nor too dry.
