Intermarriage; or, The mode in which and the causes why, beauty, health and intellect, result from certain unions, and deformity, disease and insanity from others [electronic resource]: demonstrated by delineation of the structure and forms, and descriptions of the functions and capacities, which each parent, in every pair, bestows on children-in conformity with certain natural laws, and by an account of corresponding effects in the breeding of animals, with eight illustrative drawings. cated to both children ; and asthe mouth of the mother is more developed, it is simi-larly communicated, as is well seen in the profiles.—These heads, moreover, show another interesting cir-cumstance, namely, that the. larger backhead of themother causes an increased development of the headand of the forehead in particular, in one daughter;while the smaller backhead of the father causes adiminished development of the head and of the fore-head in particular, in the other daughter. Hence oneof these heads is vastly larger than the other. Sopowerful is the reaction of the backhead upon theforehead, as will afterwards be further shown. This is the place to mention that, under all thesechanges, certain organs seem to go together, or to cor-respond in their forms. Thus I have often observedthick lips to be accompanied by thick or turned-inedges of the ears: the negro has both of these partsvery thick ; the mOnkey, both very thin. The formsof the nose and eyes appear also in some degree to.
