ABSTRACT
Dr Duchenne has given a photograph of an old man with his eyebrows well elevated and arched by the galvanization of the frontal muscle; and with his / mouth voluntarily opened. Sir C. Bell gives The Anatomy of Expression, a curious little proof of the part which the eyebrows play in opening the eyelids. With adult persons, when the eyebrows are raised, the whole forehead becomes much wrinkled in transverse / lines; but with children this occurs only to a slight degree. Every sudden emotion, including astonishment, quickens the action of the heart and with it the respiration. As fear increases into an agony of terror, people behold, as under all violent emotions, diversified results. Many savages do not repress the signs of fear so much as Europeans; and they often tremble greatly. Many a man must have felt, before the blessed discovery of chloroform, great horror at the thought of an impending surgical operation.
