by them; or when we reflect what others would have thought of us had they known of the act. Nevertheless one or two of my informants believe that they have blushed from shame at acts in no way relating to others. If this be so, we may attribute the result to the force of inveterate habit and association, under a state of mind closely analogous to that which ordinarily excites a blush; nor need we feel surprise at this, as even sympathy with another person who commits a flagrant breach of etiquette, is said, as we have just seen, to produce cause a blush.

Finally then I conclude that blushing, whether due to shyness, ─ to shame for a real crime or for the breach of a mere conventional rule, ─ to modesty from humility or from shocked an indecency, ─ in all cases depends on the same principle. This principle and being a sensitive regard for the opinion of others, more particularly for their opinion of others depreciation, primarily in relation to our personal appearance and more especially to our face. As a And secondary, resulting sensitiveness about the opinions of others on our own actions, thoughts or conduct, produces, through the power force of association and habit, the same effect in relation to the opinion of others on our actions, thoughts or conduct.)

[Expression, pp. 336-7: "But when a blush is excited in solitude, the cause almost always relates to the thoughts of others about us—to acts done in their presence, or suspected by them; or again when we reflect what others would have thought of us had they known of the act. Nevertheless one or two of my informants believe that they have blushed from shame at acts in no way relating to others.  If this be so, we must attribute the result to the force of inveterate habit and association, under a state of mind closely analogous to that which ordinarily excites a blush; nor need we feel surprise at this, as even sympathy with another person who commits a flagrant breach of etiquette is believed, as we have just seen, sometimes to cause a blush.
Finally, then, I conclude that blushing,—whether due to shyness—to shame for a real crime—to shame from a breach of the laws of etiquette—to modesty from humility—to modesty from an indelicacy—depends in all cases on the same principle; this principle being a sensitive regard for the opinion, more particularly for the depreciation of others, primarily in relation to our personal appearance, especially of our faces; and secondarily, through the force of association and habit, in relation to the opinion of others on our conduct."]

But our With Europeans the whole body tingles slightly when intense blushes intensely are excited; and with the races of men who habitually go nearly naked, the blushes extend over a much larger surface than with us Europeans; and it may be presumed that. These facts are to a certain extent intelligible as the self attention of primeval man and of the existing races which still go naked will not have been nearly so much excessively confined to their faces, as in the case of the people who now go clothed.

We have seen that in all parts of the world persons who are ashamed of feel shame for some moral delinquency, or who feel modest or shy, without the least thought about their personal appearance, are apt to avert or bend down, or hide their faces. The object can hardly be to conceal their blushes, or for the face is often thus averted or hidden under circumstances which exclude any desire to conceal shame, as when guilt is fully confessed and repented of. If however, primeval man before he had acquired much moral sensitiveness was highly sensitive about his personal appearance, as is natural at least in reference to the other sex, he would then have felt distress and grief at the any depreciatory remarks or opinions of others in regards to about his appearance; and this is one form of shame. And as the face is the part of the body which is most regarded, it is intelligible

whose judgment on any important subjects he would consider valueless disregard. No happy pair of young lovers, valuing each other's admiration & love more than anything else in the world, probably ever courted each other without many a blush. Even the barbarians of Tierra del Fuego, according to the [illeg] Mr Bridges, blush "chiefly in regard to women, but certainly also at their own personal appearance."

Of all parts of the body, the face is most considered and regarded, as is natural from its being the chief seat of expression and the source of the voice. It is also the chief seat of beauty and of ugliness; and in all parts of throughout the world, is the most ornamented.*(25) The face therefore will have been subjected during many generations to much closer and more earnest self-attention than any other part of the body; and in accordance with our present the principle here advanced we can understand why it should be the most liable to blush. Although as before explained exposure to alternations of temperature &c, has probably much increased the power in the capillaries of the face and adjoining parts to dilate and contracting; yet this by itself is hardly a sufficient explanation, for it does not account for the hands rarely blushing.

[Expression, pp. 328-9: "A young man, not very liable to blush, will blush intensely at any slight ridicule of his appearance from a girl whose judgment on any important subject he would disregard. No happy pair of young lovers, valuing each other's admiration and love more than anything else in the world, probably ever courted each other without many a blush. Even the barbarians of Tierra del Fuego, according to Mr. Bridges, blush 'chiefly in regard to women, but certainly also at their own personal appearance.'
