An Attempt To Establish Physiognomy Upon Scientific Principles
"An Attempt To Establish Physiognomy Upon Scientific Principles" delves into the historical study of physiognomy, exploring the relationship between facial features and human character. Written by John Cross, this work seeks to ground the practice of face reading in scientific observation and analysis. The book examines various facial characteristics and their supposed correlations with personality traits, offering a detailed exploration of a once-popular field of study. While modern science largely disputes the claims of physiognomy, this text provides valuable insight into the intellectual history of the 19th century and the enduring human fascination with understanding character through physical appearance.
