New Physiognomy : or signs of character, as manifested through temperament and external forms, and especially in the "the human face divine." . n the ground, the foot (r, fig. 403) is a little in advance of theW5] (W5i body, and the heel comes first (fig. 406)into contact withthe ground. Thetoes quickly follow,and the body thenpasses verticallyover the ankle andthe key-bone of theinstep. The foot(r, fig, 404, and ) now restssteadily upon theheel and the ballsof the toes; the other foot (l) leaves the ground, so that thewhole weight is borne by one foot, and the plantar arch ofthat foot expands a little, so as to cause a slight lengthening*- ofthe foot under the weight that is laid upon it. Much yieldino-of the arch is, however, prevented by the ligaments that bracethe arch (fig, 400), and by the muscles that are disposed be-neath it. Next, the heel ,(fig. 408) is raised by \ \^the action of the calfmuscle, and the weightof the body is thrownforward over the balls of the toes, while the other foot (l fio-405) is carried onward, and is placed upon the ground readyto receive the weight and commence its carrying work.
