CHARACTER.
[_LECT. IX.
The copiousness, and indeed almost infinity, 01 the
article character of the figure, would require,
if traced minutely, a greater proportion of Plates than
can be allotted to it; and, after all a selection only
could be offered. Aware of this difficulty, to il-
lustrate this Lecture, we have had recourse to
the Antique for a number of additional subjects, and
from among the most famous figures extant, have
selected such as either by their celebrity, or their re-
markableness of character, or their contrast with
others, might most readily explain and enforce the
principles previously adduced. Nevertheless we have
retained our former examples of character under
less dignified forms, and forms which more com-
monly offer themselves in Nature.
There is less need to be diffuse on this Article, as
the plates belonging to the proportions of the fi-
gure have prepared the student for the advanta-
geous reception of these ; and those illustrating the
Lecture of expression of the figure, may be
considered as so many instances of character no
less than of expression.
