"This book is a page of psychology--a study on the human countenance and on human expression. Scientific both in its end and in its method, it takes up the study of expression at the point where Darwin left it, and modestly claims to have gone a step further. I have set myself the task of separating, once for all, positive observations from the number of bad guesses, ingenious conjectures, which have hitherto encumbered the path of these studies. My wish has been to render to science that which is due to science, and to imagination that which is due to imagination. The human countenance interests all; it is a book in which all must read, every day and every hour. The psychologist and artist will find in this work new facts and facts already known, but interpreted by new theories. Perhaps it may also throw into prominence some of the laws to which human expression is subject"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
