VI. 
The Matters in the Art of Defining I hope will 
cxculc any litr e Faults that may occur, as to what 
relates to the Drawing in my Figures 5 for I have no 
Pi etc nitons to be correct in that Part, nor any other 
View in this Work, than to demonttrate and explain 
the A&ions of the Mufcics on the Countenance as 
a Standard for Ehyjiognomy ; in which thole or both 
Sexes move upon the lame Principles, and, by inge- 
nious Painters, may be exprdlld on either, only by 
making APowanccs tor the Delicacy ot the one, and 
the Roughncfs of the other, when once du<y verted 
in the anatomical Principles. 
VII. 
I cannot omit taking this Opportunity of giving 
due Honour to our Painters in England , not with- 
handing the Liberties a late trench Author has taken 
with them 5 many of whom are capable or any 
Branch of the Art, as their fcvcral curious Perform- 
ances in many Places * about this Kingdom can 
teftify. We do not want thole who paint m Hiftory> 
Landskip , Converfation , and Architecture , in great 
Perfection; aitho' there is f'caice Encouragement 
here for any Branch but little Portraits : And if we 
were 
* St. Paul's Church, St. Bartholomew' s, the Fo undUng y zn<\ Green- 
wich Hofpitals y as well as in the Cabinets of many Noblemen 
and Gentlemen throughout England.
