Outlines of a New System of Physiognomy

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of a New System of Physiognomy: Illustrated by Numerous Engravings, Indicating the Location of the Signs of the Different Mental Faculties The faith which mankind will have in Physiognomy will not henceforth depend merely on an intuitive perception of its truth, but will be based on understanding. The reception or rejec tion of this science, or the belief or disbelief in its existence, will not turn upon the presumed correctness of popular judg ments in respect to what are good countenances and what are bad ones. The modern masters of painting and sculpture, no more than their disciples, are to be considered infallible in their ideas of character in the forms and features which they give to their imaginary beings; for, though they may be correct in the general outline of their figures, they needed a deeper insight into Nature in order to portray character in the features and expressions of the face. We can well believe that M. Sturtz spoke truth when he declared to Lavater that he once hap pened to see a criminal condemned to the wheel, who, with satanic wickedness, had murdered his benefactor, and who yet had the benevolent and open countenance of an angel of Gui do but we do not believe that such a person had the counts nance of an angel of heaven. It might be said with equal truth that the face of an Ecce Homo, as it is represented in ninety nine cases out ofa hundred, might be found among guilty crim mals, for there is scarcely a representation of the Divine man that does not show a face more barren of social, moral, and reli gious feelings, than is the case with the majority of mankind.

Book Description
Excerpt from Physiognomy: A Practical and Scientific Treatise; Being a Manual of Instruction in the Knowledge of the Human Physiognomy and Organism, Considered Chemically, Architecturally, and Mathematically Each age has added its contributions to our knowledge of Physiognomy, and if these contributions have not given us heretofore a correct system, at once practical and scientific, they have maintained an interest and a belief in this science. This interest and belief have served as a beacon-light, which has flashed far down the ages made brilliant by the works of the most renowned philosophers and literates. Among the Grecians, Aristotle wrote extensively on this subject. Pliny, Cicero, and others of ancient Rome, found this science Worthy of their consideration; while, later in the advancing centu ries, we find Petrus d'abbano lecturing on Physignomy be fore the students of the University of Paris. After him followed the renowned Avicenna, Averroes, Michael Scott, and the Italian sculptor and naturalist, J. Baptista Porta, the discoverer of the camera obscura. Later still, many German, French, English, and American observers left their writings among us to be added to and built upon. Lavater, in 1801, wrote numerous volumes on the subject, Copiously illustrated, in which he had the assistance of some of the best artists in Europe. It is through his works, and from. His associations, that this science is best known to modern students. His purity of life and high position (he having been an eloquent clergyman, pastor of St. Peter's Church at Zurich) placed Physiognomy on a footing of credibility.. His works are what he named them Fragments-merely, without system and largely impractical. His efforts, like those of his predecessors, have assisted in continuing the belief and interest in the science.
