Woods: What Is There in Physiognomy?

amination of these and other portraits 

 has confirmed the supposition quite 

 definitely that men of moderate dis- 

 tinction do not as frequently as very 

 great men possess noses that are strik- 

 ingly large or long. All the portraits 

 under the initials A, B and C have been 

 classified, as in the three accompany- 

 ing tables, and it can be seen that they 

 confirm each other, so that it does not 

 appear necessary to carry the investi- 

 gation into D, E, F, etc. The effect 

 of picking out the surnames that are 

 not strictly Anglo-Saxon in origin and 

 dealing only with the Anglo-Saxon does 

 not alter the conclusion. In the table 

 for the totals, letters A, B, C, we see 

 the distributions: first opinion, 52- 

 167-45, second or check opinion, 74- 

 151-39. These become for strictly 

 Anglo-Saxon names, 34-109-26, and 

 51-93-25. The weights are all in favor 

 of the large or long, first number, as 

 against small or short, third number; 

 but the first number is never equal to 

 the sum of the other two, as was 

 the case among the "great men." 



A glance at the Chart (Fig. 7) 

 shows two types of lines. All those 

 pointing upward at the center, making 

 a sort of roof-like, or mountainous 

 structure, depict the percentages of 

 the three classifications from the Cana- 

 dian Who's Who, letters A, B and C. 

 The continuous lines are from opinion 

 No. 1 ; the dotted lines from opinion
