Receipt for Vinegar—-Remarks on Beauty. 
[Feb. x, 
All other animals, begining with the 
ape, depart more or lefs from this~form 
and. their inftinct appears narrower, in. 
proportion as the union of thefe lines 
forms a fharper angle; fo that the ob-- 
ferver may afcertai, at fight, the degree 
of infiin& of an animal, by the difpofition 
of the bones of its head nature appearing 
to have eftablifned this vifible correfpond- 
ence between its exterior form, and the 
extent of its faculties. Thus, the fithes, 
which are the dulleft of all animals, are 
ailo thofe whole face offers a fharper angle 
by the union of thele two lines. The he- 
man head prefents in its front part, as we 
have jut obferved, the exact fhape of an 
egg; that is to fay, of an oval, wider 
above than below. In dividing this oval 
into two diameters, the’ largeft, marked-A. 
and B, will part inte two equal portions, 
the forehead: the nofe, the mouth, ‘and the 
chin. . See fig. 20. 
The {maileft will divide the head into 
two equal portions, at the crigin and ex- 
fremiiy of the eye-brows, or fometimes to 
the middle of the orbilary cavities. Sze 
the faine fig. Line C BD. ‘Thefetwo parts, 
divided again into halves, will give, one 
the origin of the hair, the other the extre- 
mity cf the nole. . 
ae fourth part divided into three, will 
giv the place of the mouth, and the ort- 
gin “of the chin. 
The bafe of the nofe forms, with its 
\ofk prominent part, an equilateral angle, 
itch ought to be of the fize of the 
mouth, or of the eye; there will be be- 
tween the two eyes, the {pace of an eyeor 
anofe. The nofe and the forehead will. 
only be fepaiated by a flight and almoft- 
impercept ible infletion. The apper part 
of the forehead, and the lower part of the 
chin, will be a little depreiled, te foften 
the oval, and give it a more regular form, 
This may be perceived in the regular pro- - 
fie, fg. 18: In fig. 15, 16, we 25 “and 
26, the beauty is injured; becaufe the face 
is conitruted on a line loo convex or con=- 
cave, too flat, too long, or too wide. 
Figures 21,22, 23, and 24,’are caricatures 
taken from Leoxardo da Vinci. 
“The forehead ought to be ftraight in its 
ine of union with the nofe; but it is 
lightly rounded in its upper and lateral 
parts. A narrow forehead deforms the 
oval, to the face. 
and gives a !

When i it is open and {mooth, 
the peace of the mind; but when it is fur- 
rowed by wrinkles, it is a fign of old age, 
or it denates the turbulence of the paffions ; 
it & the famp of forrow and misfortune.
