INTROD UOTION. lV[ANY works have been written on Expression, but a greater number on Physiognomy,-that is, on the recognition of character through the study of the permanent form of the features. vVith this latter subject I am not here concerned. The older treatises/ which I have consulted, have been of little or no servi(·e to me. The famous 'Conferences' 2 of the painter Le I3run, published in 1667, is the best known ancient work, and contains some good remarks. Another some\ vhat old essay, namely, the 'Discours,' delivered 1774-1782, by the well-known Dutch anato1nist Camper/ can hardly be co11sidered as having made any Jnarked advance in the subject. 'The following worlu;, on the contra.ry, deserve the fullest consideration. 1 J. Parsons, in his paper in the Appendix to the 'PJlilm;ophicn 1 Tmnsnctions' for 174G, p. 41, gives a list of forty-one old authors who have written on Exprossiou. 2 'Conferences sur !'expression des diffcrents Caracteres des Passions,' Paris, tlto, 1G67. I always quote from the republication of the 'Conf(: rences' in the edition of I.avater, by :Moreau, which appen,red in 1820, as given in vol. ix. p. 257. 3 'Discours par Pione Carnpf'r snr ]e moyen de ropre;..;rntrr le.:~ diverses passions,' &c. 1792.
