NEW PHYSIOGNOMY: OR, Signs of Character, As manifested in Temperament and External Forms, and especially in the Human Face Divine. BY S. R. WELLS, EDITOR PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL. LARGE 12mo, 768 pp., WITH MORE THAN 1,000 ENGRAVINGS. Illustrating Physiognomy, Anatomy, Physiology, Ethnology, Phrenology and Natural History. A COMPREHENSIVE, thorough, and practical Work, in which all that is known on the Subject treated is Systematized, Explained, Illustrated and applied. Physiognomy is here shown to be no mere fanciful speculation, but a consistent and wellconsidered system of Character-Reading, b sed on the established Truths of Physiology and Phrenology, and confirmed by Ethnology, as well as by the Peculiarities of Individuals. It is no abstraction but something to be made useful: something to be practiced by everybody and in all places, and made an efficient help in that noblest of all studies-the study of man. It is readily understood and as readily applied. The following are some of the leading topics discussed in this great illustrated work. Previous Systems given, including those of all ancient and modern writers. General Principles of Physiognomy, or the Physiological laws on which character reading is and must be based. Temperaments. The Ancient Doctines- Spurzhiem's Description-The New Classification now in use here. General Practical Physiognomy. Ethnology.-The Races, including the Caucasian, the North American Indians, the Mongolian, the Malay, and the African, with their numerous subdivisions; Riso National Types, each Illustrated. Physiognomy Applied-To Marriage, to the Training of Children, to Personal Improvement, to Business, to Insanity and Idiocy, to Health and Disease, to Classes and Professions, to Personal Improvement, and to Character Reading Generally. Utility of Physiognomy. Animal Types.-Grades of Intelligence, Instinct and Reason - Animal Heads and Animal Types among Men. Graphomancy.-Character Revealed in Hand-Writing with Specimens-Palmistry. "Line of Life" in the human hand. Character Reading.-More than a hundred noted Men and Women Introduced -What Physiognomy says of them. The Great Secret.-How to be Healthy and How to be Beautiful-Mental Cosmetics-very interesting, very useful. Aristotle and St. Paul. A Model Head-Views of Life-Illustrative Anecdotes.-Detecting a rogue by his face. No one can read this Book without interest, without real profit. "Knowledge is power," and this is emphatically true of a knowledge of men-of human character. He who has it is "master of the situation;" and anybody may have it who will, and find in it the "secret of success" and the road to the largest personal improvement. Price, in one large Volume, of nearly 800 pages, and more than 1,000 Engravings, on toned paper, handsomely bound in embossed muslin $5 00; in heavy calf, marbled edges, $8 00; Turkey morocco, full gilt, $10 00.

COMPARATIVE PHYSIOGNOMY-PORTRAITS OF A LION AND MAN. "" What They Say."-Notices of the Press. Everybody is influenced in forming opinions by what others say. And it requires everybody to know everything and to do everything. A great book, like a great public work, is, or should be, the culmination of all past knowledge in that interest. Webster's Dictionary contains the gist of all preceding dictionaries. The electric telegraph was suggested centuries ago, and all mankind, dead and living, have contributed to its establishment. So the newspaper press throughout the world may be said to echo the voice of the people. The Philadelphia Press says: Mr. Wells has put the thought, the practical experience, the close observation, and the professional collection of a life-time into this important physiological work. He treats, as Lavater did, of Physiognomy, shows its harmony with Phrenology, and explains, to elucidate both sciences, the whole structure of the human body. He treats of temperaments, and contrasts the separate features of various human races, showing also how character is affected by climate. Very curious, too, are his illustrations of comparative Physiognomy, showing the animal types of the human race. The price of the work is $5. A familiar chapter on Phrenology is introduced, and then follows one on the anatomy of the face, with a close analysis of each feature. First, the chin. No one will dispute Mr. Wells as to the infinite variety of chins; but we are sure many will be startled to hear that this unpretending terminus of the face has been quietly telling their love secrets. The jaws and teeth also tell their own tales of character. "The closest mouth can hide no secrets from the physiognomist."-The Anti-Slavery Standard. The treatise of Mr. Wells, which is admirably printed and profusely illustrated, is probably the most complete hand-book upon the subject in the language. It contains a synopsis of the history of Physiognomy, with notices of all the different systems which have been promulgated, and critical examinations of the eyes, the noses, the mouths, the ears, and the brows of many distinguished and notorious characters.-New York Tribune. It contains a treatise on every feature and whatever indicates peculiarity of character, the knowledge of which requires appropriate education to bring into subjugation and be made to answer a good jure the pleasures of life. end, without which it would mar and inAll who can afford to possess this compendium will have value received for the expense.-New York Christian Intelligencer. It is a digest of Ethnology, it gives us the symptomatology of insanity, It treats of Physiology and Hygiene, and, incidentally, of Zoology. The chapter on the grades of intelligence is instructive, and that on comparative Physiognomy is exceedingly entertaining.-American Educational Monthly. There are very few men or women who do not, consciously or unconsciously, practice Physiognomy every day of their lives. They may ridicule the idea that the shape of a man's head, the configuration of his nose, or the appearance of his eyes, furnish any guide to an estimate of his character or disposition, and yet the man of business will refuse an applicant employment because his glance is restless and uneasy instead of firm and decided; and every lady will quietly but quickly form her judgment regarding the gentleman who may be presented to her at an evening party.-New York Times. |
