OF THE NOSE.

form and relative position, in respect of other parts of the face,

furnish some characteristics.

An aquiline nose designates an imperious temper, and ardent passions.

(See _pl. XXV_.)

A nose, the ridge of which is large, denotes a mind endowed with

qualities of a high order. (See _pl. VII_.)

When the sides of the nose are flexible, and perfectly disconnected, it

betrays a proneness to sensuality.

A nose curved at the root, announces a personage born to command, firm

in his purposes, and ardent in the pursuit. (See _pl. XI_.)

Small nostrils disclose timidity of soul.

A sharp pointed nose is characteristic of a passionate man. (See _pl.

XXII_.)
