Nasology, or, Hints towards a Classification of Noses
Description:
This extended joke at the expense of phrenology passed through several editions in the mid-19th century and was published under the pseudonym of Eden Warwick. George Jabet maintains that the nose, besides being an ornament to the face, or a convenient handle by which to grasp an impudent fellow, it is an important index to its owner's character; and that the accurate observation and minute comparison of an extensive collection of Noses of persons whose mental characteristics are known, justifies a Nasal Classification. He then proceeds to define and analyze six classes of nose, including Roman, Snub, and Celestial (or Turn-up). Excerpt from Nasology, or, Hints towards a Classfication of Noses , written by George Jabet under the pseudonym Eden Warwick
