Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Round Table, Vol. 2: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men, and Manners
The general principle of the difference between the two heads is this - The forehead of the Greek is square and upright, and, as it were, overhangs the rest of the face, except the nose, which is a continuation of it almost in an even line. In the Negro or African, the tip of the nose is the' most projecting part of the face; and from that point the features retreat back, both upwards towards the forehead, and downwards to the chin. This last form is an approximation to the shape of the head of the animal, as the former bears the strong est stamp of humanity.
