Excerpt from The Principles of Beauty as Manifested in Nature, Art, and Human Character: With a Classification of Deformities, an Essay on the Temperaments With Illustrations, and Thoughts on Grecian and Gothic Architecture The Author of this volume gives the following account of the circumstances under which her attention was first directed to the investigation it contains. It happened that being, as a child, resident with a near relative, whose health required great stillness, she was plentifully supplied, for her amusement., with books of prints of a superior class; among them were many works of architectural antiquities, ancient statues and costumes, and likewise the French edition of Lavater, which is remarkable for the physiognomic correctness of its outlines. "The books with which children are acquainted, being but few, seldom fail to inspire them with a lively interest."
