A Practical And Familiar View Of The Science Of Physiognomy (1819)

""A Practical and Familiar View of the Science of Physiognomy"" is a book written by Thomas Cooke in 1819. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of physiognomy, which is the art of reading a person's character and personality based on their facial features and expressions. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of physiognomy. Cooke begins by discussing the history of the science, tracing its origins back to ancient Greece and Rome. He then goes on to explain the various facial features and expressions that can be used to read a person's character, including the shape of the head, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Cooke also provides practical advice on how to use physiognomy in everyday life, such as in business, social situations, and romantic relationships. He explains how to read the character of a potential business partner, how to tell if someone is lying, and how to choose a compatible romantic partner based on their facial features. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it easy for readers to understand and apply the principles of physiognomy in their own lives. It is a fascinating glimpse into the world of facial reading and provides valuable insights into human nature and behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
