Summary

Description
English: Faces of different people compared in profile, physiognomy example from the book Physiognomy illustratecd by Joseph Simms, 1891. It reads:

No. 1. Charlemagne, though unable to write his own name, promoted schools, arts, civilization, and was the most powerful and enterprising monarch of his day
No 2. James Bowell, the celebrated biographer of Dr. Samuel Johnson. He resembled Johnson as a fly does an elephant, while his self-assurance and impudence have rarely been equalled.
No. 3. Cinghalese, a gentleman from the mountains of Ceylon.
No. 4. John Locke, a distinguished philosopher.
No. 5. Tasmanian, an aboriginee of Tasmania. His head does not, while his face does, manifest his cruel and cannibal habits.
No. 6. Lord Byron, a poet of marvellous genius.
No. 7. Cassius, a famous Roman general, described in Shakespear's "Julius Caesar."
No. 8. Rev. Rowland Hill, an English clergyman.
No. 9. Lavater, an eloiquent Swiss preacher, poet, and phyiognomist.

No. 10. Paul I, Emperor of Russia, as his feeble face indicates, he was one of the weakest rulers in Europe.
