    I feel warranted in having endeavoured to build up and attract attention to the subject, by a very long acquaintance with it; commenced when a student of medi- cine; continued in its practice, in which I have ever found it a trustworthy guide; and cultivated, apart from medicine, by observation of the association of mental with physical characteristics. The title Our Temperaments is in- tended to show that the temperaments described are those of the people of our own country. To enable observers to classify faces by the form characteristics of the temperaments, a sufficient number of engravings are given from Bonn's edition of Lodge's Historical Portraits, the proprietor having readily con- sented to their reproduction.
