of literature; they required some physical activity in their very idleness, and gardening was the favourite occupation of both. Cato displayed his disregard and even hatred for literary refinement by advising the Senate to dismiss the Grecian Ambassador Carneades promptly, lest his eloquence should corrupt the Roman youth with a love for Greek learning and philosophy.

He

He cultivated his farm and garden with great skill, and wrote a work on the subject, entitled "De Rustica." Chatham was a landscape gardener of no mean pretensions. assisted Lord Lyttleton in laying out the celebrated park and grounds at Hagley; and Bishop Warburton eulogizes his skill in gardening as inimitable, and far superior to that of the professor Capability Brown. Not even obedience to the King's mandate could draw Chatham from his country retirement at Hayes.

Neither ever thought he had done serving his country while life lasted, even when bodily health and strength were gone. At eighty-four years of age Cato went on an embassy to Car

thage; and Chatham, worn out by the gout and wrapped in flannels, never neglected to take his seat in the House and electrify it with his eloquence when any important question affecting the interests of the country or the liberty of the subject arose.

Notwithstanding their many virtues, they were both coarse-minded, violent men; proud, self-willed, and regardless of the common courtesies and even decencies of society. Both were perhaps indebted for some of their fame to the successful practice of the vice which has been happily designated, as the deference paid to virtue.

It is not, therefore, only in the peculiar circumstances of his death that Chatham resembles Cato, with whom he has therein been frequently compared.

It will be remembered that after Cato's return from Carthage, (the inveterate enemy and most powerful rival of Rome,) Cato, then in the eighty-fifth year of his age, and the last year of his life, never spoke in the Senate without expressing his conviction of the dangerous power of Carthage, and concluding with the

celebrated words "Delenda est Carthago." Chatham, when peace with America was proposed on terms which he thought dishonourable to his country, expended his last strength in opposing it, and fell, to survive but a few hours, senseless on the floor of the House of Lords.

As by far the majority of persons have compound Noses, and as their consideration will therefore throw additional light upon the system, we shall add a few observations upon some of them.

The Roman Nose may be compounded with Classes II. and III., rarely with IV.; seldom or never with V. and VI.*

Compound-The Romano-Greek Nose.†

The following are instances of Noses of this sub-class :

*The indications of I. being so decidedly opposed to those of V. and VI., it seems almost impossible for them to be associated.

†The class placed first in these compounds is that which predominates.

Alexander the Great.

Constantine.

Wolsey.

Richelieu.

Ximenes.

Lorenzo de Medici.

Frederick II. of Prussia.

Alfred.

Sir W. Raleigh.

Sir P. Sidney.
Napoleon.

Associated with much physical energy (I.), these persons all exhibited much refinement of mind, a love for Arts and Letters, considerable astuteness and capacity of scheming; (II.) they saw far and quickly, though deficient in deep philosophical powers of thought.

A rather more extended notice of some of the members of the sub-classes will be requisite; as, of course, their characters were less developed, and therefore less known, than those of the pure Classes; but principally in order to point out the more minute touches and, apparently, inconsisten

cies of character which illustrate the compound form of Nose.

(From a gem in the Florentine Museum.)

CONSTANTINE, having by a felicitous union of enterprise and cunning, procured his elevation to the Imperial throne, and having defeated the last of his rivals to that splendid dignity, directed his attention to the concentration rather than the extension of his enormous empire, and sought, by building Constantinople, to divert the minds of the people from foreign war and intestine discord; while he at the same time fostered and encouraged the arts by the magni
