SEQUEL OF STUDY X. 



OF THE HUMAN FIGURE. 



ALL the harmonic expreflions are combined 

 in the Human Figure. In treating this ar- 

 ticle, I fhall confine myfelf to the examination of 

 fome of thofe which compofe the head of Man. 

 Obferve, it's form is an approximation to the 

 fpherical, which, as we have feen, is the form, by 

 way of excellence. I do not believe that this con- 

 figuration is common to it with that of any animal 

 whatever. On it's anterior part is traced the oval 

 of the face, terminated by the triangle of the nofe, 

 and encompafled by the radiations of the hair. 

 The head is, befides, fupported by a neck of con- 

 fiderably lefs diameteÇ|han itfelf, which detaches 

 it from the body by a concave part.
