Secrets in the Face

In placing this book before the public. I desire to express the pleasure and profit I have derived from reading many similar works that have been published. Years ago I began the study of Physiognomy simply for pleasure. Therefore I became interested in eliciting the character of men and women by studying their faces. There are many people who declare that they do not believe in Physiognomy, Phrenology, or Palmistry, and yet, if their opinion of a stranger is asked, they are perfectly willing at once to give their impressions of his or her character based upon facial signs and personal deportment. Much can be learned of a person's nature from his actions and manners. The mode of carrying the head and body, and the expression of the face show much of his character.
