He had a broad forehead, bordered with thin white hair, large, mild eyes, a wan face, to which a small, pointed, white beard gave that air of subtlety and finesse noticeable in all the portraits of the period of Louis XIII. His mouth was almost without lips, which Lavater deems an indubitable sign of an evil mind, and it was framed in a pair of slight gray moustaches and a 'royale' an ornament then in fashion, which somewhat resembled a comma in form.
"Perhaps in general it might be so," she said; "but in this particular instance she was persuaded she was right and correct; and after all, is there a human being living who is not influenced at first sight by countenance! Does not Lavater say that even a cockchafer and a dish of tea have a physiognomy?"
His occupation there was a very innocent one; he drew countenances, being one of the most enthusiastic sectaries of Lavater, and modestly called himself the first physiognomist in the world.
'I cannot feel jealousy, I cannot feel rivalry, said she, sad of voice. The humour of her tranced eyes in the shaking head provoked him to defend the baroness for her goodness of heart, her energy of brain. Clotilde 'tolled' her naughty head. 'But it is a strong face, she said, 'a strong face a strong jaw, by Lavater! You were young and daringly adventurous; she was captivating in her distress.

But it had been decreed by Fate, which governs our every action, that I was soon to return to my old pursuits. It was written that I should not yet cease to be Lavengro, though I had become, in my own opinion, a kind of Lavater.
A direct popular influence may be felt in their best productions; hence the nature of their many beauties, as well as of their faults. To the same influence also we owe that phalanx of reformers and philanthropists, Hirzel, Iselin, Lavater, and Pestalozzi. A great portion of the work under consideration is devoted to the lives and labors of these benefactors of their people.

I will describe it, recommending its earnest consideration to all heirs, who may hereafter divide an inheritance; for if they adopted this nautical method, that universally slanderous aphorism of Lavater would be forever rendered nugatory "Expert not to understand any man till you have divided with him an inheritance."
With an eye keen as that of a bird of prey, with a long aquiline nose, a finely cut mouth, which he generally kept open, or rather which was gaping like the edges of a wound, this man would have presented to Lavater, if Lavater had lived at that time, a subject for physiognomical observations which at the first blush would not have been very favourable to the person in question.
