Book Overview
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 However, the book remains an important historical document in the study of physiognomy and the history of psychology.Being A Complete Epitome Of The Original Work Of J. C.
