VI. THE hair in this is still more powerful, more choleric, and abundant; and as correspondent to the great form of the countenance, and all its parts, as the hair of the former was to the countenance and parts to which it appertained. VII. SIMILAR remarks again occur. From the We can as little trust this beard, and the manner of its growth, as these eyes, this nose, and this forehead. Dry, decided obstinacy are alike expected, from the hair and the face. hair alone we may know the man. VIII. How much does this compressed, short, strength of hair agree with the closed mouth, and the square, powerful, firm, compact, productive countenance after Holbein !
