LOOKING-GLASS. 
83 
A handfome nofe is never feen upon an ugly'-- 
countenance. Fine eyes frequently accompany de- 
formity j for they are a thoufand to one fuch a 
prominent, firiking feature, as is feldom or never 
found without a regular fet of others ; for, being 
confidered alone, it conveys a high idea of the per- 
fon bleft with it, according to the following de- 
fcription : 
The nofe ought to be as long as the forehead> 
with a flight hollow* at the root. 
On the front-view, the fpine or foundation fliould 
be broad, and run up, in an even line, with both 
fides, growing a little larger about the middle. 
‘ The tip ought to be neither hard nor plump ; 
with the inner compafs correflly marked, neither 
too pointed, nor too wide. 
The wings of the nofe fliould be very vifible 
when we come to examine it at the lips, fo that 
the noftrils may be feenLto taper elegantly below. 
Taken in profile, the nofe ought to appear only 
the third part of its length. 
The noftrils fliould be tapering infenfibly ; arch- 
ed lightly at the roof ; and equally divided by the 
fide of the upper lip. 
* Neither the true Grecian nofe, nor the Apolh di Sehidere's^ 
has any hollow in the upper-gart of it, where it is waited and level 
with die forehead',- ' - . ' ‘ ^ ^
