X HE following account of Kliyogg is hy 

 Ihe famous phyfiognomift Lavater^ ^ a clergyman of thd 

 canton of Zurich in which Kliyogg refided. It is tranf- 

 lated from a French tranflation, being originally ex- 

 t:ra^^ed from the feventeenih of the '-^ Pbyfiognomic 

 Frao-ments*' of that writer. 



'' If Mr. Hirzel (fays the noted Lavater) had no oth- 

 er merit than that of writing his peafmt-philofopher, 

 or rather of fmgling out and manifefting this, man, 

 who was fo really a man, his deferts would have been 

 high. Hence 1 never \\c Kliyogg, without returning 

 new thanks to Mr. Hirzel for having drawn him from 

 his obfcurity. 



' There are few men whom I have examined fb ri- 

 goroufly and whom I have obferved on fo many fides 

 and in fo many different fituations as Kliyogg ; and I 

 can truly fay that I have not found one, a (ingle
