Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882

"The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals"


The following works, on the contrary, deserve the fullest consideration.
Sir Charles Bell, so illustrious for his discoveries in physiology,
published in 1806 the first edition, and in
[1] J. Parsons, in his paper in the Appendix to the
`Philosophical Transactions' for 1746, p. 41, gives a list
of forty-one old authors who have written on Expression.
[2] Conferences sur l'expression des differents Caracteres
des Passions.' Paris, 4to, 1667. I always quote from the
republication of the `Conferences' in the edition of Lavater,
by Moreau, which appeared in 1820, as given in vol. ix. p. 257.
[3] `Discours par Pierre Camper sur le moyen de representer les
diverses passions,' &c. 1792. 1844 the third edition of his
`Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression.'[4] He may with justice
be said, not only to have laid the foundations of the subject
as a branch of science, but to have built up a noble structure.
His work is in every way deeply interesting; it includes graphic
descriptions of the various emotions, and is admirably illustrated.
It is generally admitted that his service consists chiefly
in having shown the intimate relation which exists between
the movements of expression and those of respiration.
