Although the literature on the various forms of expression as shown in a person's face, shape of skull, hands, voice, gait, handwriting, etc., is constantly grovi^ ing, the approach is in a highly uncritical and chaotic state. Some students of this rather obscure subject claim that any individual expression can be comprehended or understood only intuitively, that is to say, through feeling in, through sympathy; such understanding being rather subjective, incapable of being analyzed, and confined to sensitive observers only.Others have approached this problem empirically, tried to split the total expression into its component parts, and to establish definite correlations between these elements and certain character traits. In this-way complete systems of physiognomies, chiromancy, etc., were evolved, and one spoke of a clever forehead, a domineering nose, an energetic chin, an obstinate thumb, and the like. But it was soon noticed that these findings are seldom correct, that people with a high forehead are sometimes of average or even inferior intelligence, that people with a protruding chin lack in energy, and so on.
