Excerpt from Swain School Lectures

The teacher with his pupils; the orator before his audience; the actor facing his house; artists, statesmen, philosophers, - who is exempt from the necessity of knowing psychical facts, facts about the ideas, wishes, purposes, designs of his fellowmen?

Palmistry, physiognomy, phrenology, astrol ogy are names for sets of signs that have been believed to be indicative of psychical facts. Sculpture, painting, architecture, music, and poetry are certain processes for modifying psychical movements in a determinate way.
