Gratiolet April 1871.

Habitual movements p. 35 Brun study ─ eye looks no where}

[Expression, p. 229: "Professor Donders attributes this divergence to the almost complete relaxation of certain muscles of the eyes, which would be apt to follow from the mind being wholly absorbed.6
6 Gratiolet remarks (De la Phys. p. 35), "Quand l'attention est fixée sur quelque image intérieure, l'œil regarde dans le vide et s'associe automatiquement à la contemplation de l'esprit." But this view hardly deserves to be called an explanation."]

37 Billiards p. 289 quotes Cherveul on the head ─

[Expression, pp. 6-7: "As an illustration of what he calls symbolic movements, I will quote his remarks (p. 37), taken from M. Chevreul, on a man playing at billiards. "Si une bille dévie légèrement de la direction que le joueur prétend lui imprimer, ne l'avez-vous pas vu cent fois la pousser du regard, de la tête et même des épaules, comme si ces mouvements, purement symboliques, pouvaient rectifier son trajet? Des mouvements non moins significatifs se produisent quand la bille manque d'une impulsion suffisante. Et, chez les joueurs novices, ils sont quelquefois accusés au point d'éveiller le sourire sur les lèvres des spectateurs." Such movements, as it appears to me, may be attributed simply to habit. As often as a man has wished to move an object to one side, he has always pushed it to that side; when forwards, he has pushed it forwards; and if he has wished to arrest it, he has pulled backwards. Therefore, when a man sees his ball travelling in a wrong direction, and he intensely wishes it to go in another direction, he cannot avoid, from long habit, unconsciously performing movements which in other cases he has found effectual.]

42 eyes shut or open when proposition accepted or denied ─

43 walk quick p. 323 Engel when think quick ─ circulation may have come in ─ stop when difficulty occurs.

[Expression, p. 32, n6: "Gratiolet ('De la Physionomie,' p. 324), in his discussion on this subject, gives many analogous instances. See p. 42, on the opening and shutting of the eyes. Engel is quoted (p. 323) on the changed paces of a man, as his thoughts change."]

p. 213 to look & hear Oratorio. ─

247 shake injured limb

290 if we call a man, act as if bring him to me. ─ 324 scratching head ─ coughing

115. ─ laughter O & A., E & I in infants. (Voice)

[Expression, p. 88: "Laughter may be either high or low; so that, with adult men, as Haller long ago remarked,6 the sound partakes of the character of the vowels (as pronounced in German) O and A; whilst with children and women, it has more of the character of E and I; and these latter vowel sounds naturally have, as Helmholtz has shown, a higher pitch than the former; yet both tones of laughter equally express enjoyment or amusement.
6 Quoted by Gratiolet, 'De la Physionomie,' 1865, p. 115."]

135. On origin of word terror, or trembling read this & quote. ─

[Expression, pp. 289-90: "Fear, Terror.—The word 'fear' seems to be derived from what is sudden and dangerous;15 and that of terror from the trembling of the vocal organs and body. I use the word 'terror' for extreme fear; but some writers think it ought to be confined to cases in which the imagination is more particularly concerned.

See, also, Gratiolet ('De la Physionomie,' p. 135) on the sources of such words as 'terror, horror, rigidus, frigidus,' &c."]
