Uprightness responds to the perpendicular profile; chastity, to the

A criterion of the face is indispensable to the intelligent
physiognomist, and as the lips and nose have much to do with the
expression of the face, we offer an unerring diagnosis in the three
following charts:
Criterion of the Profile of the Lips.
SPECIES. 1 3 2
II 1-II 3-II 2-II
Ecc.-conc. Norm.-conc. Conc.-conc.
III 1-III 3-III 2-III
Ecc.-norm. Norm.-norm. Conc.-norm.
I 1-I 3-I 2-I
Ecc.-ecc. Norm.-ecc. Conc.-ecc.
Here the profile of the lower lip indicates the genus, and the profile
of the upper lip belongs to the species.
Criterion of the Profile of the Nose.
SPECIES. 1 3 2
II 1-II 3-II 2-II
Ecc.-conc. Norm.-conc. Conc.-conc.

III 1-III. 3-III. 2-III.
Ecc.-norm. Norm.-norm. Conc.-norm.

I 1-I.
