THE nose, manifestly too pointed, gives this profile the appearance of insignificant, childish fear. The nose, compared with the forehead, convinces us it is inaccurate; the nose is childishly effeminate, while the forehead would never be found in a female. It is not of the first order, though it is something more than common. The projecting eye denotes fear and choler; the mouth and chin extreme prudence, benevolence, and gentleness. Nature ever gives a counterpoise, and delights to mingle mildness and fire, in a wonderful manner.

THE forehead is not drawn with accuracy, yet it shews a man of a clear and sound understanding, determined in the pursuit of business. The nose is of a superior kind, and, apart from the other features, has every capacity of excellent and just sensation.The under part shews common manliness and resolution.

I Do not think we have a peculiarly great head here, yet certainly not a very common one. The back part is decisive of a richly comprehensive, and not irresolute thinker. No single feature of the face has any thing determinate, yet each has something the reverse of rude, and all please by their combination. He must be a civil, peaceable, modest, man; desirous of learning, and capable of teaching.

XII.

HOWEVER great the resemblance of this shade may be supposed, it is certainly, in part, enlarged, and, in part, curtailed; yet are the expansion and firmness, almost in equal degrees, general and congenial. The under part of the forehead, and the back part of the head, are injured by the curtailment. The upper part of the forehead, and nose, denote much less dryness, and more sensibility and capacity.
