Appears in the book in a chapter on the four temperaments
Lavater comments that "there are physiognomies one is tempted to denominate petrified [last word in italics]. Detached from society, they are susceptible of nothing, and with difficulty communicate themselves to others. Firm and unshaken, persons of this sort are neither good nor bad, neither sensible nor stupid; they may be said to have no temperament. They are more common in art than in life. You find them especially in copies and imitations, made after the antique. ... Everything here is evidently fictitious, half nature, half art; I know not what to make of it"
