 tion. 



Grief, joy, Jove, fhame, and compafiion, 

 make the eyes Iwell, and caufe the tears to 

 flovvT. The efFufion of tears is alvv?-ays accompa- 

 nied with a contraction of the mufcles of the 

 face, which opens the mouth ; the tears flow 

 through the lachrymal duds into the nofe, and 

 increafe the fluid with which it is naturally 

 moiftened : The flowing of the tears is not con- 

 flant ; they feem to burft out at irregular inter- 

 vals. 



In grief, the corners of the mouth are de- 

 prefled, the under-lip rifes, the eye-lids fall 

 down, the pupil is elevated, and half concealed 

 under the eye-lid : The other mufcles of the 

 face are relaxed, which enlarges the fpace be- 

 tween the mouth and the eyes ; and, of courfe, 

 the countenance appears to be ftretched out 

 beyond its ordinary length. (See plate X. 

 fig. I.) 



In conflernation and terror, the brow is wrink- 

 led, the eye-brows are elevated, the upper eye- 

 lid opens fo wide that it rifes above the pupil, 

 and uncovers a part of the white above the pu- 

 pil, which laft falls down, and is partly concealed 

 by the under-lid. The mouth, at the fame 

 time, opens wide, the lips recede from each 

 other, and expofe the teeth both above and be- 

 low. (See plate X, fig 2.)
