is, large lungs and vital organs, and this, great strength of
constitution, and hearty animal {474} passions along with selfishness; for
broad noses, broad shoulders, broad heads, and large animal organs go
together. But when the nose is narrow at the base, the nostrils are small,
because the lungs are small and need but small avenues for air; and this
indicates a predisposition to consumptive complaints, along with an active

4. SHARP NOSES.--Sharp noses indicate a quick, clear, penetrating,
searching, knowing, sagacious mind, and also a scold; indicate warmth of
love, hate, generosity, moral sentiment--indeed, positiveness in
