Usurp and get all by their Wit and Policy may receive a Check by the Plain Honest Force and Courage of others and the Progress of the Insolent prevented by the more Prudent tho' inferior and less in Power And accordingly 't is worth observing that God does commonly so order this Oeconomy that the Wisest Kings and Princes reign much at the same time and those of weaker Parts and less Policy in another Period of which it were easy to produce sufficient Instances both from former and latter times were it agreeable to my present Subject from which I may be deemed to have wandered too far already having said nothing yet of England Nor let me be thought to pass a Complement upon my Country-men if I affirm and that without Partiality that as the fairest Garlands sweetest Nose-Gaies are cull'd and compos'd not from any one single Beauty of the flowry Parterre but from the Rose and the Lily the Iasmine Tuberose and the rest of the fragrant Tribes so the Inclinations of the English seem to result from the great Variety of the People which as so many glorious Flowers from time to time have been transplanted into our British Elysium Few Nations that I know of under Heaven in so short a time consisting of so many Ingredients by Revolutions and Successions Britains Romans Saxons Danes Normans Belgians c. which certainly as it ought to incline us to be the most hospitable and debonair of any Nation which is a Virtue so it evidently does to be the most unsteady humourous peevish and morose which is a Vice where as we have shew'd of others better Education Religious and Sober Principles do not intervene prevent and rectifie Nature with some more than ordinary Force and Energy This being truly so of all those Nations and People about us there would I am perswaded none be found that could afford so spacious a Field for our Metoposcopist wherein to exercise and improve his Talent Our Countenances Air Eyes Hair Complexions Stature and other Agreements consisting and compos'd of so charming a Variety divided from the World divided from our selves the most unlike and yet the most amiable and agreeable A true English Man has the true British Courage the Roman Bravery and Civility the German Probity the French Politure the Belgian Industry to which add as flowing from them all innate Courage Liberality Mercifulness Good-Nature is soon reconciled Chast Generous a Lover of Liberty and Religion to some extreams 'T is not is the mean time to be denied that the Climate insulary and unconstant Air tho' seldom in excess does generally dispose to Commotion Melancholy Moroseness and a certain peculiar Strangeness which often sowers the Conversation mistaken oft for Pride But then the Plenty the Freedom our just and easie Laws correct sweeten and reconcile again which else would be very inconvenient The sole and indeed the only Desiderate therefore to be wish'd for to render us the most consummately happy People and Nation Under Heaven since we cannot all be Angels were comparing Circumstances with the rest of the World about us a constant Steadiness and a true Discernment when we are Well and at our Ease to endeavour to keep our selves so But this must be the Effect of Sound and Steady Religion more public Spirit solid and united Counsels and acquir'd Virtue and not to be expected from the Nature and Temper of the Clime and Elevation of the Pole which are evidently averse and less benign But I am straid too far again and to enlarge much farther on this Subject would require as large Discourse and perhaps not be so agreeable What I have produc'd being only to shew that the Art of Divination from the Countenance is a Science of as large and wide Extent as the Face of the Earth which we inhabit and is not to be confin'd to one Part Province or people of the World but to All in general establishing its Canons and Conclusions upon more than Fancy or mere Conjectures only namely as all along we have shewed upon the Conjugation and Concurrence of divers serious Causes It may after all this perhaps be said that these are only general Opinions or if true are yet but such as you confess are drawn from the Effects of the several Climes and Situations of Countries as Men happen to dwell nearer to or more remote from those powerful Influences which accordingly intend or remit their Operations on the Inhabitants as to Colour Feature Stature and those other Inclinations you have mention'd But still you tell us nothing upon what Principle as every Art requires you advance and ground you Judgment of Particulars and how it comes to pass that the same Country nay almost every Family produces Persons so difform and unlike to one another For 't is suppos'd you will not affirm that the being Born in the Garret middle or lower Floor of the House signifies any thing to the Structure of the Body or Elegancy of the Countenance To take off this Objection I was once beginning to frame a Table of Proportions drawn as from Polycletus's Canon not only from the Medals of Alexander Hiero Pompey the Great Augustus Germanicus c. but likewise from their Statues as those of the Medicean Venus Consule Guil. de Regn. Dissertat de Physiog. Cleopatra Apollo Antinous Meleager and other famous and yet extant for their exact Symmetry and signals Beauty as their Measures Stand in that very Curious tho' little Piece publish'd about forty Years since by Abraham Bosse a French Chalcographer compared with those of Albert Durer Lomatius Leon Baptista Alberti and other Artists of the Moderns And according as the most conspicuous Parts of Men's Countenances c. remarkably deflecting from these standard Proportions subjoyn'd the natural Causes of their unconformities as near as might be to the Rules and Maxims of Physiognomists taking in the Assistance of Sigismund Elsholt who has in his Anthropometria done something of this Nature with extraordinary accuracy of Judgment to shew that their Sentiments were far from being the bare Conjectures and Speculations of Men of more Leisure than Judgment but the Results of Rational as well as Natural Causes Every Body will consent I presume that an ample and well form'd Head which is neither too great nor too little broad round square flat or too copped and turbinated has likely the Advantage of the rest we have mention'd as well in regard to the due Situation of the Ventricles of the Brain and intercourse of spirits Animal and Vital whether carried thither from the Heart by the Carotides and Arteries of the Neck or degenerated and exalted in that Receptacle which being over-much compressed straitned dilated or otherwise obstructed must needs have influence upon the understanding Faculties and other Functions of the Body also But how then happens it say they that you judge of those Effects and Habitudes from such other Irregularities as have less Commerce with the more Vital and Nobel
