A classic reprint of Henry Frith's guide to understanding a person's character and temperament from their physical appearance. Physiognomy, a once popular method of reading people, is currently regarded as a pseudo-science.
Henry Frith (1840 – 1917) was an Irish engineer who translated the works of Jules Verne and others, as well as writing his own works. His prolific output amounted to nearly 200 works between translations, novels, and instructional titles.
