OF THE EYEBROWS.

Small eyebrows always accompany a phlegmatic temperament. (See _pl.

XIII_.)

If horizontal, they betoken a masculine and vigorous character. (See

_pl. VII_.)

When they are partly horizontal, and partly curved, they denote energy

and ingenuity.

If situated very high, they almost always evince a person incapable of

reflection.

A wide space between the two eyebrows, designates a quick apprehension,

a calm and tranquil soul.

The nearer they approach the eyes, the stronger is the assurance they

give of solidity and reflection.

Angular, discontinuous eyebrows, mark an inventive genius.

When uneven and disordered, they are proofs of great vivacity.

Full, compact, well-disposed, and symmetrical eyebrows, are almost

always indicative of solidity of judgment, and of clear sound sense.
