The human character is divided into
two parts, the animal and the intel
Iectual / say animal first, because the
animal propensities are always the
strongest, the intellect located in the
brain having to keep in subsection the
requirements of the whole body. The
three principal features are the eyes,
the nose and the mouth, and each of
these features has its part to play in
forming the character of the Individual.
The eyes, being located directly under
the brain, are the feature of intellect
or intelligent emotions; the nose, being
formed of bone and cartilage, shows,
according to its height and prominence,
the executive power of the individual;
the greater the height and prominence
Of the bone the more eXecutiveness;
and the mouth which is composed of
blood, tissue, nerves rhd muscles, is the
feature which interprets the quality OF
the passions and senses. Thus the
forehead and the eyes are the intellec-

the eye-sockets is the region of the per-
ceptive faculties, which are located in
the brain at the back of the frontal
sinus, and these faculties are estimated
in value according to their external
prominence.
The organs which are most disccrni-
bic may be mentioned as follows
Form, color, order, calcula ton, time,
tune. constructivenees, casualty, COM
parison, memory and congruity; but to
be able to define them accurately you
must learn their exact location, and
be very practiced in noting their grada-
tons at a glance. The eyes being the
feature of intellect, we viii commence
by explaining their characteristics
