Summary
This book explains the bodily causes behind familiar expressions such as crying, frowning, smiling, and blushing. It argues that tears, brow contraction, and facial changes can arise from both physical conditions and strong emotions, and it connects these reactions to the action of the tear glands, blood pressure, and inherited habits of expression.
