of the short or upturned nose to receive rapid impressions, and to lead to rapid emotions, persons with such a nose, are generally quick and pert. The same is remarkable among quadrupeds: the pug dog, for instance, has such a form of nose, and precisely such habits. This form of nose is sometimes unseemly, from its exposing those cavities of the organ, which modesty would conceal; and persons possessing this in excess are often not merely pert, but impudent, indelicate, or filthy.

Consistently with the mere physical capability of the long and drooping nose slowly to receive impressions and lead to emotions, persons with

such noses, are generally more reserved in cha

racter.

As indulged emotion becomes sentiment when delicate, and is applied to immaterial objects, it is natural that the elevation of the nose and the delicacy of its form, combined with intellectual conditions, should indicate, not mere animal emotion, but intellectual sentiment.

The absence of elevation and delicate outline of

the nose, on the contrary, will be found to indicate absence of sentiment.

The truth of this will be evident to all who contrast a nose which is elevated and delicately formed, with one which is flat and coarsely formed — the expanded but beautiful nose of a Rousseau, that pattern of sentiment, with the degraded organ of a northern Irishman for instance, crushed above and protruding below, the ascription of sentiment to which would be absolutely ridiculous, and which accords only with practical indulgence, or with passion.

The elevated nose, above described, will be fouud more frequently associated with a somewhat flattened posterior part of the head. It would seem

that, in the indulgence of emotion and sentiment, the energy of the functions were, in this case, expended; that therefore passion, connected with that part of the head, was less likely to be excited; and that its organ consequently was less developed.

The flattened nose will be found more frequently associated with an extended posterior part of the head, as in the negro. It would seem, in this case, that emotion and sentiment were slighted for the gratification of passion; that the air was inhaled chiefly for the purpose of respiration, on which muscular motion, the means of gratifying passion, depends; and that the posterior part of the head was consequently more developed.

The raising of the wing of the nose, in connexion with that of the lateral part of the upper lip, is evidently for the purpose of pleasurable emotion and passive gratification. That this association of these is natural, is further proved by the circumstance, that this elevation in both parts is consentaneous, and is effected by the same general muscle, the levator labii superioris alæque nasi. This ele

vation, therefore, indicates such pleasurable emo

tion and passive gratification.

An eye of great magnitude indicates a capacity of receiving more powerful sensations of vision; because the power of all organs, equally healthy, is ever in proportion to their developement. Hence it is, that the frugivorous mammalia, which climb trees, have in general the eye large; hence also it is, that animals with large eyes discern objects with less of light; and hence it likewise is, that fishes which are destined to live in an obscurer medium, have these organs of great magnitude.

A small eye, on the contrary, presents less capa
