EXPLANATION
OF
PLATE VI.
T h e se outlines are in explanation of the VII. and VIII. Essays
p. 149, and p. 167.
Figs. 1 and 2. Are Marginal Illustrations of Albert Durer.
A pretty decisive proof that he understood the theory of the
facial line.
Figs. 3 and 4. Are from Camper, intended by him to illustrate
the effects of inclining the fascial line forward in approximating
the form of the head to the antique, but which I have copied
here, to prove the very reverse. For while the individual features
bear the character of vulgar or common nature, they are not improved
by giving them the general proportions of the antique
head.
