Author's Preface
If one had asserted a few years ago that the time was near
when men could converse with each other fifty miles apart, he
would have been looked upon as a lunatic. Had he also remarked
that quite as soon men could learn to read each other's characters
by a glance at the face, he would have been regarded as an idiot.
Yet, just as surely as one can converse at a great distance by the
aid of the telephone, just so surely can men read each other's faces
by rule and law settled and defined.
The art and science of physiognomy, as shown in "The Encyclopedia of Face and Form Reading," will put the reader in
possession of this almost superhuman power.
The art of character-reading by the face is universal and instinctive.
Every one gathers some knowledge of those he associates
with by inspection of their facial features. Not only does
he glean from this source, but he derives some impressions (and
often correct ones) from the voice, the walk, the movements, and
gestures; but as with all branches of knowledge one is more
certain of the correctness of his observations if he possess some
established rules to go by, so in the study of human character
(the highest and most important of all studies) laws and rules
cannot be dispensed with. This book gives these laws and rules,
and those who learn to apply them may be certain that the information
gained from their application is perfectly correct.
WHAT MAKES SOME PEOPLE SUCCESSFUL?
In every community there are many talented instinctive physiognomists; these persons are the
successful parents, teachers,
lawyers, doctors, actors, authors, artists, and employees. These
people are successful because they have this inherited gift of character-
reading. How much greater would be their power did they
have some well-established laws to guide them !
WHAT MAKES SOME PEOPLE UNSUCCESSFUL?
There are many others, unfortunately, who do not possess so
great a degree of the knowledge of human nature as the former;
how highly important for those is the knowledge which this book
contains !
In these pages I have made a chart of the face, in which I
have located fifty signs of character, in so plain and simple a
manner that any one can easily learn it and put this knowledge
into immediate practice.
I also show the meanings of the several forms of the body, of
the hands, fingers, finger-nails; the lines, the wrinkles, the
dimples; as well as the colors of the skin, hair, eyes, and eyebrows,
and the meaning of the form, color, and quality of the
beard and moustache.
A GREAT DISCOVERY.
Every internal organ has its sign in the face, which I have
discovered and mapped out on a diagram, by the inspection of
which one can readily know which of the visceral organs are weak
and which are by nature strong. The heart, the liver, the lungs,
the kidneys, the reproductive system, etc., have their certain sign
or features by which the inherited condition of each organ may be
known.
This knowledge puts a great power into the hands of parents,
for, by knowing in advance which organs are weak and liable to
disorder, they can prevent such calamity by the advice also given
in this book.
"The Encyclopedia of Face and Form Reading" should be
in the hands of every parent, teacher, minister, doctor, lawyer,
artist, superintendent, banker, mechanic, and all persons who deal
with human nature in their daily occupation.
The Teacher, by studying and applying its laws, can be most
successful with her scholars; for by one glance at the face she can
see which mental faculties are strongest, which weakest, and she
can then apply the rule suited to each condition as given in these
pages.
The Minister can gain a correct understanding of the moral,
mental, and spiritual status of his parishioners, and may, by applying
physiognomic laws to the reading of faces, become better
acquainted with his charge in one visit than he could otherwise
by years of acquaintance.
The Doctor will find in these pages most important ideas and
theories which cannot be found in any medical book in the world.
It is, indeed, a text-book which should lie on the table of every
physician, and be daily consulted by him.
To the Artist, in every department of art, it will give new
and original ideas, including the basic principles of form, color,
time, and memory, with directions how to improve each. All of
these theories are of immense importance to artists, aside from
their physiognomic value.
The Lawyer will find in these pages a sure way to read the
characters of judge, juror, client, and witness with instantaneous
rapidity.
The Actor will be greatly benefited in his studies of character
by knowing the meaning and the shape of each facial feature, as
well as the shape of each bodily structure and their associated
characteristic gesture, pose, and movement.
The Author can learn how to describe scientifically the physiognomic
peculiarities of the forms, faces, and features of each one
of his characters, so that they shall be true to nature. The physiognomic
descriptions of the heroes and heroines of George Eliot
are not surpassed by any in English literature, and they were
scientifically correct,—that is, in accord with physiognomic law.
To Bankers the knowledge of physiognomy is invaluable. A
banker once wrote me :
"Had I possessed the knowledge contained
in your book thirty years ago, it would have saved me
thousands of dollars and much anxiety." All bankers should
apply these rules to the faces of employees, and thus learn whom
they can and cannot trust.
Superintendents of Schools, Manufactories, Asylums, Reformatories,
and Business-Houses cannot afford to dispense with
a knowledge of "Face and Form." Those who have the care of
large numbers of youth will be greatly aided in the work of mental
and moral developments of their charges by using the light of
this science.
To the Unmarried the knowledge contained in this work is
absolutely essential. Within its pages may be found such descriptions
and analyses of character as will teach those intending
marriage how to choose the one best adapted to produce harmony and
beautiful and talented offspring.
"The Encyclopedia of Face and Form Reading" offers to
every one a solution of many of life's most mysterious problems.
Not only does it teach how to choose friends, business-partners,
husbands, wives, and employees, but it gives directions how to develop
every department of mind and all of the physical functions.
WILL IT PAY?
In short, the reading of this book will pay a greater interest
than any other scientific book ever published on this or any other
subject; because it treats of the most important subject to man,—
viz., human nature.
Ladies and Gentlemen can make a most interesting Parlor
Entertainment of this science by reading the faces of the company
present. It is far more popular than palmistry, and can be made
both profitable and attractive by those who care to master its laws.
This work is the result of a life-time of constant study, observation,
and research. It contains very many original ideas and
theories never before put forth. In short, it is the most advanced,
practical, and complete work on physiognomy extant.
It is to be hoped that these ideas may lead to a correct knowledge
of man, and that this may conduce to his welfare physically,
morally, and intellectually.
