These attitudes, being wholly characteristic, cannot be transmitted. They characterize the special role of the agent set in motion, while inflection is universal. The head alone expresses trouble, dejection. Dejection is in the head, as firmness is in the reins and exaltation in the shoulders. All the movements of the head are communicated to all the active organs. The head is always in opposition to the arms. The head must be turned away from the leg which is advanced. Men of small brain habitually carry their heads high. The head is lowered in proportion to the quantity of intelligence. Examine the criterion for the fixed attitudes of the head. _Of the Eyes._ The eye, in common with all the other agents, has nine primary expressions, three genera and nine species. The eye contains three agents: The optic or visual, the palpebral or pupil, and the eyebrow agent. Each of these has its peculiar sense, and we shall show how they are united. The optic agent has three direct or convergent glances. The eyes converge toward the object they examine, at such a point that if the object were there they would squint. A skilled observer can determine the distance of the object, upon seeing the two eyes. There is a revolving or divergent glance. If both eyes project in parallel lines, they see double. A drunken man sees double because the eyes do not converge. Between these two glances there is the ecstatic or parallel vision; but the object is not so far away that its distance may not be determined. The con
