Description:Excerpt from A System of Practical and Scientific Physiognomy; Or, How to Read Faces, Vol. 2: Being a Manual of Instruction in the Knowledge of the Human Physiognomy and Organism, Embracing the Discoveries of Located Signs of Character in the Body and Face, as Shown by the Five Natural Divisions of the Countenance We are now about to take up the consideration of the practical or mechanical group of facilities. These depend mainly upon the peculiarities of osseous and muscular development, assisted by their connection with the motory and central nerves. It must be borne in mind that the facial signs of the faculties found clustering about the eyes, those of Form, Size, Observation, Locality, and Weight are not fully developed until childhood is passed, as the bones and muscles of the entire body, as well as of those about the eyes, have not at this period assumed their normal size, form, and strength. Moreover, some of these signs are produced by development of muscular tissue, others by deposition of osseous material; hence we must connect them with the gradual and progressive development of those systems as well as with the exercise of these traits. Iii view of these facts, it is absurd to claim that the evolution of these faculties and powers is due to brain development atone. It is true that the brain enlarges pari passu with the general growth of the body up to a certain age or stage, but the projection caused by bone and muscular tissue in the lower part of the skull near the eyes is not due to this circumstance. It is not caused by brain matter, as I have shown elsewhere, but to the growth of other tissues. Deposition of brain-substance could not take place here at this point, for the frontal sinus and the muscles of the corrugator supercilii, the superciliary ridge, the os front is and ethmoid bone prevent any such accumulation of the ln-uhi-ni tter here. The development of this portion of the head arises from the natural and general development and perfection of the muscular and osseous systems, and these are the systems most used in mechanical and scientific pursuits as well as in aiding all artistic efforts. This evidence is conclusive. Moreover, we have the following evidence from one of the early and most original writers on phrenology to emphasize what is here stated. It is taken from a work on Phreno-Phrenology, p. 78, published in 1851 by J. Stanley Grimes, who observes: - The bones of the skull and of the face change by a regular law of development in all healthy persons alike, and nearly in the same decree in all.
