Antique Circa 1783 Essai Sur La Physiognomonie By Jean Gaspard Lavater Book (Volume II)

Written in French.
Physiognomy is the study of the temperament and character of an individual made from the shape, features and expressions of his face. It is Jean Gaspard Lavater (1741-1801), a theologian of Swiss origin, who is the greatest author on the subject. He made himself famous by his Physiognomische Fragmente , published in Leipzig in 1775-1778, in which he exhibited and developed theories physiognomonic. His work exerted a considerable influence at the time and especially in the nineteenth century.
