Book Description
Excerpt from The Jacquerie, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel Though no one saw his features, it may be necessary that the reader should see them with the eye of imagina tion, and also requisite that he should mark the peculiar expression which those features were. The lines were all good, except perba about the mouth, where a cer tain heavy fulness of t e li 8 took away all beauty from that part of the face.. T e forehead was broad and capacious, though not remarkably high; the brow strong. Ly marked, but finely shaped; the eyes large, sparkling, and full of thoughtful meanin the nose small, but beautifully cut; and the chin per aps a little more promi nent than is exactly symmetrical, but still rounded into that form which the Grecian chisel was delighted to dis play. The hair and beard, which were all short, were of a rich brown colour, and curled about the face in many a graceful sweep; but the form of the head was in itself remarkable, being nearly spherical, though there certainly did appear a degree of fulness behind the ears and at the back of the scull which diminished the beauty of the whole.
