In this physiognomy we distinguish taste, acuteness and sensibility. Should a man of this description become an author, his style will be florid, and he will describe the beauties of nature and the pleasures of friendship: but he will avoid the discussion of scientific subjects, and sometimes turn away from philosophical argument as dry and boring. His features would seem to indicate a genius for poetry and great aptness for mental effort. The chin denotes a character possessed of firmness and energy. We may conclude that a man who bears a physiognomy like this is highly gifted; it distinctly presents the impress of genius.
