EXTERNAL SIGNS OF EMOTIONS AND PASSIONS.

One would not imagine who has not given particular attention, that the
body should be susceptible to such variety of attitudes and emotions, as
readily to accompany every different emotion with a corresponding
expression. Humility for example, is expressed naturally by hanging the
head; arrogance, by its elevation; and languor or despondence, by
reclining it to one side. The expressions of the hands are manifold by
different attitudes and motions; they express desire, hope, fear; they
assist us in promising, in inviting, in keeping one at a distance; they
are made instruments of threatening, of supplication, of praise, and of
horror; they are employed in approving, in refusing, in questioning; in
showing our joy, our sorrow, our doubts, our regret, and our admiration.

fully prejudiced against all other nations, he had discernment enough to
see, and candour enough to censure, the cold reserve too common among

other nation who are shown into a room together, at a house where they
are both visitors, will immediately find some conversation. But two
Englishmen will probably go each to a different window, and remain in
obstinate silence. Sir, we as yet do not enough understand the common

Rochefoucauld said, "The truest mark of being born with great qualities
