XXXVII.

MORE courage, enterprise, pliability, determination, rational activity. The under part of the profile is least defined and characteristic; but how much is this negligence compensated by the firm, intelligent, correspondent of what is above! How ca pable are such profiles of maternal duties! How careful, how orderly, how œconomical! How respectable by their meekness, their gentleness! O miraculous Nature! How dost thou imprint truth upon all thy works, and bestow the credentials of the powers with which they are entrusted!

L.

XXXVIII.

CERTAINLY defective, inaccurate.-Caricature, if any thing can be so; but caricature, in which geniality cannot be mistaken. By geniality I would say original penetration; a quick perception of things invisible in the visible; facility of combining the rapidly discovered homogeneous; the gift of associating ideas. An accurate drawing of such a countenance would be inestimable to

the physiognomist. Nothing more need be said on this every where inaccurate profile,

XXXIX.

No geniality here but the mildest, most maidenly, circumspection; attention, civility, obedience, simplicity; no productive powers of mind; no heroism; but patience employed on self. A desire not to inform but to be informed. More passive than active; more good sense than flight of fancy, or frolicksome wit.

XL.

MORE mind, penetration, or acuteness, than XXXIX; less timid, and careful of self; more excellent, lively, determinate, and analyzing. Forehead and nose discover much perspicuity, and ardour of understanding; mildness, benevolence, innocence, and tranquillity in the mouth; in the chin, much noble and tender effeminacy..
