Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A System of Practical and Scientific Physiognomy, Vol. 1: Or How to Read Faces To the Reader: - In sending forth this work to the public, I am impelled thereto by my desire to benefit the masses of mankind in a manner which I believe they very much need. Man´s knowledge of himself seems not to have kept pace with the knowledge of his surroundings. It is time, therefore, that there should lie an accordance of intelligence between the two, in order that, through man´s comprehension of his powers and possibilities, he may by scientific methods assist in improving his own life and in perpetuating´a race which shall be an improvement on the present one. This can come only through a knowledge of anatomy, physiology, physiognomy, and hygienic law, practically applied. I have endeavored to put this science in as plain and simple language as possible, in order that the non-scientific reader may not be confused by an ambiguous terminology. The method of classification used in this system of science is in accord with that observed by all naturalists in their classifications of the lower animals, and is based on the forms of the human organism, which arc produced by the intermingling of the vegetative, the thoracic, the muscular, the osseous, and brain and nerve systems. These arc treated in the order of evolution, - from the first evolved to the latest acquired, the true and perfected cerebral system. Practical and scientific physiognomy gives the most comprehensive theory of mind of any work hitherto presented to the world.
