Synopsis

Physiognomy: Or The Corresponding Analogy Between The Conformation Of The Features And The Ruling Passions Of The Mind is a book written by Johann Caspar Lavater in 1866. The book explores the idea that a person's facial features can reveal their innermost thoughts and emotions. Lavater believed that a person's physical appearance was a reflection of their character and that certain features could indicate specific personality traits. The book includes illustrations and descriptions of different facial features and what they might reveal about a person's temperament. Lavater's ideas were controversial and have been criticized for their lack of scientific basis. However, the book remains an important historical document in the study of physiognomy and the history of psychology.Being A Complete Epitome Of The Original Work Of J. C.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
