Abstract

The article examines William Blake's annotations in the book "Aphorisms on Man," by Johann Caspar Lavater. The author explores the relationships between the Greek inscription on the frontispiece and the all-important final aphorism. The author also aims to determine the significance of the dialogue of texts to the early history of physiognomy in England.
