No. COPY B 4 INTRODUCTION & pre paring these lessons in character reading, I have held to the idea that a technical study of Palmistry, Graphology, Physiognomy, Phrenology, etc., would tend to confuse, rather than enlighten, the student who desires a quick method of read- ing human nature. This system has been prepared for those who wish to read the characters and lives of people they desire to influence : to know at a glance the weak and strong characteristics of "Your man" : to be forestalled with a knowledge of the secret habits, temperaments and lives of those with whom you come in con- tact. If you are able to read character or human nature scien- tifically, you will' have a decided advantage in dealing with humanity. You will be able to tell if people are honest or dis- honest; what they are best fitted for in life and if they would be adapted to an association with you, either in a business or social way. It is thorough an understanding of these principles and the proper processes of influencing people that has enabled men like Morgan, Rockefeller, Gould and other millionaires to suc- ceed, where others have failed. "MAN, KNOW THYSELF," "is the motto for the race !" The mind of man can best be studied through the action of the physical manifestation of the body ; its habits and actions. Man cannot hide his characteristics from the eyes of those who know the secret workings of the "inner man." Only the broad, quick, practical methods of reading the '"'"-- of die "inner man" are given. my thoughts ; I might have spread them out into igth ; but I think a little plot of ground thickly f er than a great field which, for the most part of it, ..F..T. McINTY-RE'. *'--*.. * - * • j •""•',, ; ■ ■ ' ■ ' LESSON L* Process of Conv.&yi.hg- iniclfeg^nces. What an intricate piece of 'mechanism is created man, in the essential functions of his organism. Coming into the world in weakness, he enters at once upon a process of development. No step from the cradle to the grave is known to him until he is compelled to battle with resistant forces, but through every moment on the stormy sea of life, there must be within him a somthing that guides and directs his progress. The corporeal existence is ever before us, and we strive to understand it, and posssibly are very thoroughly educated in all its necessities ; but the psychic part of us — the vast mys- terious chamber of the mind — the great storehouse that con- tains the full armament of our power is hidden behind an al- most impenetrable veil of mystery. The mind is like a great electric battery; we cannot see its workings, but it moves the man. If the mind is educated and enlightened, it moves him in the right direction. If the mind is narrow- and bigoted, just so sure will the man retrograde. Intelligence, obviously, is a powerful force, and is used con- sciously and unconsciously in the influencing of man. The greater the intelligence, the more powerful the influence one mind will have over another. Innumerable processes are employed in the conveying of in- telligences from one mind to another; one mind, owing to its hy pel sensitiveness leceives and records more Incoming cur- rents than the coarse and undeveloped mind. Manifestations of this intelligence, and the power to use it, begin with the infant, when through its own feeble process it conveys to the mind of the mother the fact that it needs atten- tion and nourishment. Then begins the development of many processes of influencing the mother and those about the child, and as he becomes schooled in systems of conveying his in- telligences the more sensitive he becomes to the intelligences conveyed by others. An intelligence can be conveyed from one mind to another by many processes; a thought, a look, a gesture, or a word, and oftentimes we unconsciously influence people by our secret mental attitude, which undoubtedly produces effects of which we have no cognizance, i. e., Telepathy. We should ever be on our guard against -influencing those about us in the wrong direction through thought force, and the intelligences which are conveyed through the other pro- cesses, i. e., looks and gestures. If we have an object to accomplish with a particular person, and it is necessary to appear friendly, in order to gain the de- sired end, we must be extremely cautious lest we inadvertently convey some intelligence that will make it impossible to ac- complish the task. Artificial friendliness used in an effort to accomplish the desired end, will often awaken a suspicion; therefore, when you are antagonistic toward a certain person, and it is policy to assume friendship in order to gain the de- sired end of a business transaction, first shut out all thoughts of an antagonistic nature and cultivate a true friendliness (which can be done), then there will be no danger through the harmful intelligences which are unconsciously transmitted to the mind of the object of your attention. Artificial form, scientific flattery, tact and diplomacy, are constituent elements which make success possible in business and social affairs. Some persons develop "personal magnet- ism" through the continual employment of these principles. Many men and women possessing fine educations, can be found in obscure positions, when they might be filling prominent places in the business and social world. If they could only grasp and develop this powerful factor (which can be devel- oped) they would force their way from a condition of diffidence and obscurity, into that sphere in life to which they rightly belong. In order to utilize the great force "intelligence" so as to gain the greatest possible benefit, study carefully the scientific principles of transmitting these intelligences to those about us, as outlined in the instruction embracing the use of the Hyp- notic Ball. There are a few things to be learned, however, concerning practical systems of conveying these intelligences, before you can proceed systematically to develop the latent forces within you, and use them upon others with telling effe :t. First — To grasp a knowledge of the primary laws throu di which people are influenced. Second— To "know thyself" and others; learn a practical system of reading the characters, habits and thoughts of people in general, so that you will be able to sum up the total char- acteristics of a person in a few minutes. Third — Take yourself into the silence and dwell carefu ly upon your personal qualifications. If you are qualified for t ie position in business or society which you covet, and still are held back through lack of "Personal" Magnetism," begin a careful study of the application of the formulas outlined in n iy courses of instruction, and you will get a new light, that w|ll lead you to success before you fully realize it. "We live in thoughts, not breaths ; He most lives, who thinks most." LESSON 2. Concentration How shall you bring into practical effective action the force and wisdom gained through a systematic study of the pro- cesses outlined in my courses of instruction? Through concentration. First make sure that you have concentrated your mind for a few weeks upon the teachings of this course. Make sure that you understand the paramount principles of influencing people, then concentrate all your energies into the application of the same. What gives a small piece of dynamite that great force which enables it to demolish a huge solid rock ? Focalized force ; "Concentration." Focalized steam or electricity has the power to move huge masses of material matter, whereas diffused steam or electricity is likened unto the diffused energies of the "flighty" man; hence, lack of concentration of thought, means lack of force and power to sway the minds of others. How shall you develop concentration, force and a powerful per- sonality? To insure victory, an army must first gather its ranks at one place. Therefore, in order to win the things you most desire, gather in your thoughts ; focalize and concentrate them to the exclusion of everything else upon the object of that desire. Concentration is not brought about by a spasmodic effort; a sudden projection of the mind toward something, or a stren- uous and anxious demand for something. Mental force is obtained through silence. The thunder roars, and a flock of ' wild geese make considerable noise, but they do no damage ; the lightning, without sound, does marvelous execution. The great Mississippi moves in a serene noiseless manner but has the power to move millions of tons of matter. Concentration is as noiseless as the force of light, but has the power of pene- trating through unlimited space, going forth on its mission as silently as the sun penetrates the atmosphere. Learn to concentrate your thoughts upon one thing to the exclusion of everything else. Not spasmodically, but calmly. Do not grasp the arms of the chair, shut your teeth down hard in an effort to project your thoughts in one direction;. Go into the silence of yourself, relax the muscles of your body as well as the activity of your mind. There are many ways in which one can learn to concentrate the mind. One is to sit in a room where other persons are engaged in conversation, and avoid listening to any of the words spoken. Another is to gaze at a clock and so concentrate your mind upon some person at a distance as to shut out the sound of the ticking. If you are not able to do this upon first trial, continue to practice until you can do so. By persistent practice you will soon be able to collect your wandering thoughts and focus them upon any given subject or person. lake some hum ut the evening when yuu can be alone without interruption, and practise faithfully the following ex- ercises. Be sure that no part of your clothing is tight, which would cause you to be uncomfortable. Any irritation would cause a distracting influence and lessen the powers of concen- tration. Take a thoroughly comfortable sitting position, relax all the muscles of your body, and fix the gaze at some point in the lap. Sit perfectly still for a few minutes and imagine you see a point of blue light, shutting out every thought but the blue light, and, although this will be difficult at first, you will soon be able to lengthen the periods of concentration. Keep going back to the point when disagreeable thoughts break in upon you, and by a systematic effort you will be surprised what you will accomplish in two weeks' time. Keep before you the thoughts "I will" and you will develop a mental force that will penetrate to the ends of the earth without being dif- fused. It is this focalized thought-force that enables the great minds of the day to accomplish a foreseen end. Concentration will give you the power to develop personal magnetism and force of character. Go silently on with the perusal of this study, and you will develop a power that will enable you to sway the minds of those about you. You will unconsciously develop a force of character and mind that will, when concen- trated upon a particular object or purpose, cause the diffused thoughts of others to become as a handful of pins to the mag- net. Concentrate ! * * * LESSON 3. Studying the Characteristics of Others. In order to influence a person into doing as you desire, it is essential that you first understand some of his natural char- acteristics. First know "your man," then bring into action all your concentrated powers of influencing him. You will make better headway if you know^ his strong points, and his weak characteristics. You will know exactly where and when to apply your formulas of suggestion: your powers of per- suasion ; the command ; the smile ; the tact and diplomacy ; scientific flattery and artificial form. If you have a house to sell, or perchance a favor to ask, a heart to win, or a position to gain, how much easier it will be to use personal magnetism and suggestion, if you are fortified with a knowledge of the person's characteristics. Some persons can be flattered and, in order to win and hold them, scientific flattery must be resorted to. You must know if he is one of this class, for if you began flattering him and he should be a person who could not be flattered successfully your processes would fall short and you would lose. You must first study the lessons on "Character Reading" so that you can in a few minutes tell the leading characteristics of a person. After you get so that you are able to observe a person's leading characteristics from an ordinary observation, which you can easily learn to do from these lessons, you will be pre" pared to go into processes of influencing him. / NATURE'S MARKS. The polished villain often fools the shrewdest of men and women. A silver tongue with silver tact, is a quality that wins, but, nature has stamped her marks in various places on the human form, making it an easy matter for one who knows the secrets, to distinguish the rogue from the gentleman. The nervous system plays an important part in the recording of these marks upon the form, head, face, and in the hand- writing of an individual. Thoughts manifest themselves through the nerves, causing changes in the actions and form of an individual that are apparent to one who understands our system of reading these signs. These signs show the char- acter of the man ; they are a reflection of the soul within and cannot be disguised or kept from the eyes of our students. This complete system enables you to first "know your man well," then to employ the proper method of influencing him. THE ELEMENTARY TYPE. We will now pick up different types of men as we meet them in every day life. We will begin with the elementary grade. His occupation is usually that of the laborer; his hands are square, and fingers short and thick. If this man looks you square in the face when talking to you, has an open look and an oval shaped face, temples not too full, you have a kind-hearted and honest man to deal with. He is usually sensitive, generally feels that the upper classes are against him, and that he is being robbed of his rights. You cannot educate this man in a day, he is usually dense and obstinate, therefore, you must adapt yourself to him, gain his confidence and respect, and you can then do business with him success- fully. LESSON 4. How to Read Characters from General Observation. We cannot live in this world without of necessity being thrown more or less in the society of others. To reap the proper advantages from those with whom we come in contact we must understand them. T«o do this we must study Char- acter. Realizing the difference in dispositions and general make-up, the idea of studying Character seems on first thought to be a formidable task, but on mature reflection we can but reach the conclusion, since we have all been created in the image and likeness of One, that there must certainly be many general characteristics, which we have, that can be easily learned by observation and applied in the general walks of life. To live harmoniously, even in our own homes, we must understand the members of our family; and to be successful in business, we must be able to make a correct estimate of "our man." You have learned the characteristics of your family by observ- ing everything they do and say, then observation must be the gateway to the character of others. Many people go through the world with their eyes closed, practically speaking; such people cannot, in this "up-to-date" age, hope to succeed in anything. Remember, the lessons that follow will be of no value without you train yourself to observe everything and every one with whom you are thrown. After a little practice you will begin to do unconsciously what was at first a great effort, and will soon be repaid for your pains. Let nothing escape your observation, for the way a man handles his hands or his feet may be of importance to you later on. We have many types or grades of men, running from the elementary or lowest type of intelligence up to the philosopher or highest grades, but each one of them have cer- tain qualities in common. As our first lesson, I will say, re- member suspicion is always coupled with ignorance ; that rea- son is a companion for intellect. The ignorant man must be handled in such a way as not to arouse his suspicions ; in other words, you must first gain his confidence ; this of course is well with all men, but more particularly applies to those who are incapable of reasoning or without sufficient knowledge to be able to investigate for themselves. THE OPEN, FRANK AND HONEST TYPE. The man who saunters along in a leisurely way, his hat usually set a little too far back on his head, eyes that are open and frank and look you steadily in the face, hands carried open, sometimes partly in pockets, you will find honest — not suspicious would not do anything underhanded or look for any one else to, is free with his money and quick with his sym- pathy. He is of fair intelligence, but does not read much beyond the newspapers, consequently is not very deep. He is chatty and will not do to trust with a secret for he could not keep one for himself, at the same time he would never fully forgive you for "violating a confidence." In dealing with such a man you could always win your point through his sym- pathies. * * * THE CAUTIOUS TYPE. The man with frank open face, steady eye, who steps quickly and firmly, who has hands that are inclined to be long and carries them partially closed, has a square jaw, forehead rea- sonably high and broad, is both honest and just, possesses de- termination and caution, is reasonable and considerate. If you want to succeed here you must have a proposition that is worthy of consideration, one that is reasonable, and be able to present it intelligibly. This man is usually patient and will listen to you attentively, weighing carefully all you say, but will think the matter over before he gives a "yes" or "no." It wil not do to attempt to rush him, for in that case his caution will develop into suspicion and you will then have a hard task to handle him. Take time in dealing with this type; always keep before him a plan by which he thinks he will be able to gain something through you. DISHONEST CHARACTERISTICS. The man who walks with an uncertain step, sometimes long, again short, sometimes heavy, again light, whose arms and hands are carried as if he was trying to keep off some unfor- seen danger, whose eyes are ever on the alert no matter how deeply he is interested in a conversation ; looks at everything except you, and whose greatest desire seems to get away, out of sight: In this case you have an inherent dishonesty, a lack of courage and a man who is without principles, in fact in this character you would find all the traits of the petty thief, some- times, however, they do not steal from sheer cowardice. To deal with this man you have but to assent, whatever your wishes, in a positive manner and watch him till you have ob- tained what you want ; remember you cannot trust him no matter what his promises may be — you must stay with him in any transaction to the end of the deal, get his decision at once. * ■ * * THE RAPID THINKER. The nervous, impatient man is easily recognized by his rest- lessness, his quick replies, the pacing up and down while talk- ing to you, interrupting you in the middle of a sentence, or continually tapping his foot, or when his legs are crossed shaking his foot, etc. Any one who observes will readily recognize him. When speaking to him, speak just loud enough to be heard by him (a low soft voice never fails to soothe the nerves) and be as brief as possible — do not go any further into details than is absolutely necessary, for this man analyzes as you go and details annoy him and you cannot keep his attention. He grasps a subject in its entirety and gets what he wants of details afterwards. If this man happens to be busy take as little of his time as possible. If he wants to keep you, he will do so. If he does not, you only spoil your chances with him by trying to keep him. When calling on this type, first assure him that you have only a few minutes to stay, that you are in a hurry. * * * THE CONCEITED STUBBORN TYPE. We have another type that is not uncommon, whom every- one knows better than he knows himself, that is the pompous, conceited individual who is entirely satisfied with his own per- fection and couldn't (if he wanted to) see why anyone else would make a change in him. This man can only be ap- proached by flattery, if it is dealt out in a disguised form; if he is in the lower walks of life, the thicker it is spread on the more it will be appreciated. Any point can be gained with this man if you find out how to distribute your honeyed words of praise. This person is changeable. Finish your business with him on the spot. LESSON 5. Study Human Nature. From the types given above the student who observes closely will soon be able to gather many more which space keeps me from enumerating. To succeed, you must adapt yourself to others. You cannot make the world what you want it. but by careful training, you can make yourself what you will, and by falling in line with the ideas of those around you, it will be an easy matter to win your way. Many men and women hide their true character under the disguise of artificial form, and it would not be possible for a stranger to read them, so carefully do they hide their qualities from the world. But at home, where most people cast aside the polished form, the true characteristics manifest themselves. It is a decided advantage to one who has a secret knowledge of reading the characters of others, for if we carefully observe some of the tell-tale actions, we get an inside track, which knowledge cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, as it points out the weak and strong points of those we meet, and often keeps us from making errors in our dealings with hu- manity. If you know some of the secret characteristics of a person, you can handle him to a great advantage, and when you under- stand the laws of suggestion, and the processes of influencing people you will win a greater percentage of the battles in life. The following pointers from a popular paper, by an emin^"*- writer, will be found useful. You should be careful how sharpen a lead pencil, as it openly tells your character to an) one who may be familiar with this theory. You should also observe with care anyone who is in the act of sharpening a pencil and note the manner in which it is done. Sometimes you can hand a person a pencil and ask him to kindly sharpen it. \s "The man who holds the point toward him and close up against his shirt front is slow and likes to have secrets. He is the kind of man who, when his best girl finds out there are "others" and asks him who they are and what he means by calling on them, will assume an air of exceeding dignity and put her off with some evasive answer which says quite plainly, "Yes, I called ; but it's none of your business who she is or why I did it." A woman with a jealous disposition should look out for the man who sharpens his pencil in this manner and shun him. The man who holds the pencil out and whittles away, care- less of results, is an impulsive fellow, jolly, good-natured and generous. He who leaves a blunt point is dull and plodding, and will never amount to much. He is really a good-hearted fellow, and hasn't an enemy in the world. He finds his chief pleasure in the common-place things of life. On the other hand, he who sharpens his pencil an inch or more from the point, is high strung and imaginative and sub- ject to exuberant flights of fancy. He will always be seeking to mount upward and accomplish things in the higher region^ of business and arts, and his wife's greatest trouble will be to hold him down to earth and prevent his flying on a tangent. The man who sharpens his pencil all round smoothly and evenly as though it were planed off in an automatic sharpener is systematic and slow to anger. But he is so very undeviating from a fixed principle that he would drive a woman with a sensitive temperament to distraction in less than six months. He who leaves the sharpened wood as jagged as saw teeth round the top has a nasty temper and will want to quarrel on the slightest provocation. There are certain women who can manage that sort of man beautifully, though, and if he gets a wife with a calm, persuasive eye he will in a few minutes be as meek as a lamb. The man who doesn't stop to polish the point of lead once the wood is cut away, has a streak of coarseness in his nature. He who shaves off the lead till the point is like a needle is re- fined, delicate and sensitive." After you have seen a person sharpen a pencil you learn something about him. and he is not aware of it. It will be a guide to you in handling him, no matter what your associa- tions may be. It is not advisable that you tell him what you have learned of his hidden character, whether it be good or bad, unless you wish to comment favorably upon the manner in which he sharpens a pencil. The following hints from a leading paper on the characters of women, will be useful to both sexes. "In choosing a wife, let her be a woman whose lips do not droop at the corners. This is the advice of a wise man of Persia. If a woman's lips droop, her husband's life will be a perpetual mourning time. Nor yet should they curve too much upward, for that denotes frivolity. Beware of the under lip that rolls outward, for that woman has no great conscience. Select for a wife she whose lips are straight, not thin, for then she is a shrew, but with just the fullness necessary to perfect symmetry. A mouth with the upper lip curved, lower lip straight, full and well defined, and a depression underneath, shows a high artistic sense, a love of ease and beauty, a fine moral nature, and a certain coldness of temperament. If the chin is firm and rounded, that bespeaks determination and physical strength. The mouth of sagacity is large and always well closed. The line of the lip is firmly defined, and a certain tightness about the jaws, when in repose, is noticeable. If a mouth is long and thin, with the lines between the lips clear cut and firm, the woman is selfish, morbid and dominat- ing. It is the mouth that desires to rule everything, and its owner will ride to an end, no matter over how many bodies. The short upper lip with a depression under the nose and the inclination upward at the corners is the merry mouth. If the corners dimple deeply as they turn upward, the lips are quick in repartee. Love of ridicule will be strong, but not in a malicious vein. Unusually red lips denote cruelty and rapacity. Cleopatra had such lips. LESSON 6. Diffenent Types of Humanity* Fig. i. "Organic Quality is the Primal Index to the Character." "All organs correspond with the functions, so that from having either we can always predicate the other. "Certain forms accompany and indicate certain qualities. For this reason shape is the great base of all scientific clas- sification. Given configurations and attributes always go to- gether. Whenever we find either, we then and there find the other also married to it. How is this ? True, of all things." In figure one (see cut) we have a low type of intelligence. The forehead recedes and the lines around the eyes, nose and mouth have a drooping appearance. This type is found mostly among the laboring class. The formation of the head shows a lack of brain growth. A coarse grained organism will manifest itself in many ways. The hair, the skin, the bones and general appearance is coarse. In determining the character of a person, the first thing to notice is the texture of the skin. If the skin is soft, clean and of a delicate, velvety texture, it signifies that the person is sensitive, emotional and susceptible. The finer the texture of the skin, the finer the feelings. The same in man. A fine, soft, velvety, sensitive texture of skin indicates a brain and mentality of the same qualitv. Likewise, a coarse grained skin, denotes the reverse. The Muscular Motive Temperament* Vital Temperament* No. 2. In cut No. 2, we have the muscular motive temperament. Usually large framed, large bones, muscular and athletic, more lean than fat, having high cheek bones, strongly marked countenance, great muscular power, a tough or strong consti- tution. These people have great powers of endurance ; would make good soldiers, officers and fighters, especially if the nose is slightly Roman. These men have many talents and can adapt themselves to most any profession. Homely features usually denote power of mind and char- acter as well as power of muscle. Handsome men are seldom talented. A pretty man is usually more proud of his body .than his intellect. You can gain your "point" through com- menting on the fine appearance of a handsome man, but this would be dangerous with a homely man. No. 3. The vital temperament (see cut 3) indicates a lack of men', and physical activity. Exceptionally stout people rarely make a mark in the world. They should cultivate a desire to do more brain and body work. These persons are usually fond of literary pursuits ; fond of the good things in life and usually take good care that their stomachs are well taken care of. They can best be influenced through things physical. They are generally good-natured and fond of jokes. If you wish to make a favorable impression be jolly and always ready with a good joke. It is a well known fact that these people are often influenced into giving a decision, right after a hearty laugh, for which they are afterwards sorry. In fact, if you get any person laughing heartily and then suddenly ask him to do a certain thing; a favor, and press him hard for an answer, you are more liable to get a favorable answer. QUICK NOTES ON FEATURES. Important Pointers on Features The Purely Motive Temperament, Cut No. 4. Tri cut No. 4 Ave have the purely motive temperament. Head rather long, with high straight forehead and overshadowing eyebrows. This type is usually crafty, tactful, diplomatic and shrewd. These men and women are gigantic schemers, plan away ahead and have great foresight. They possess a great amount of personal magnetism, force of character, and de- termination to succeed. In dealing with this class you should always be brief. Try to display talent in any direction. They admire talents and have no patience with dull minds. If you can lead these people to believe that they can make money through you, they will, of necessity do many things that will benefit you. Always be careful of your personal appearance and see that you are neat and tidy when in the presence of the motive temperament. Fig. 1. — Nose of Emperor William, Fig. 38. His chin. Note the roman appearance of the nose, giving physical force as well as acute penetration. No. 10 — The pugnacious nose, giving combativeness, weak mental forces. No. 5 — The selfish nose. No. 7 — Combativeness and physical force combined. No. 2 — The normal, well-balanced nose. No. 17 — Eyebrows, showing powers of concentration. No. 18 — Violent temper when antagonized. No. 19 — Shrewdness. No. 20 — Deep penetration, conservative. No. 24 — Eyes of Adam Worth, noted criminal, used by the Bertillion system and Pinkerton detectives as a typical crim- inal. (No. 43 is his chin.) No. 23 — Eyes of Maud Adams, marvelous imagination and execution. No. 25 — Eyes of Robert A. Pinkerton, the noted detective, showing shrewdness, great powers of penetration, calculation, forethought, precision and adaptability. ( (44 and 45 his chin.) Note the square cut, giving perseverance, mental and physical force. No. 22 — The eyes of a coquetish, idealistic, easily influenced individual. No. 11 — The ear of a spendthrift. No. 13 — The economizer. No. 14 — The financier. Note, in judging character from the features, you must carefully compare and weigh other prevailing conditions, in order to form correct deductions. If Adam Worth had Pinkerton's chin he would have been another Pinkerton. There are many intermediate grades in features, as is shown by the difference between the open, frank eyes of (22) and the narrow-minded eyes of {2j). No. 31 — The lips showing well-balanced mental and physical forces. No. 32 and 33 — Showing a mental motive temperament, the mental being more active than the physical. No. 35 — Showing passionate nature, strong vitality, per- severance, great mental and physical forces. No. 36 — Weak mental and physical forces. No. 37 — Strong vital force, passionate, weak mental force, liable to do things impulsively and to excess. From a careful study of this chart and the definitions, you will be able to tell at a glance what a person is best fitted for in life ; it will unfold the secret temperaments, abilities and men- tal qualities of those with whom you come in contact. They are the definitions of the most eminent authority on character reading the world has ever known. If the organ ("bump") is well developed it indicates that this particular characteristic predominates in the individual.
