 intensely American
as New York. It is generally considered that the inhabitants of
New England, the Yankees properly so called, have the American
characteristics of physiognomy in the fullest degree. The lantern
jaws, the thin and lithe body, the dry face on which there has
been no tint of the rose since the baby's long-clothes were first
abandoned, the harsh, thick hair, the thin lips, the intelligent
eyes, the sharp voice with the nasal twang--not altogether harsh,
though sharp and nasal,--all these traits are supposed to belong
especially to the Yankee. Perhaps it was so once, but at present they
are, I think, more universally common in New York than in any other
part of the States. Go to Wall Street, the front of the Astor House,
and the regions about Trinity Church, and you will find them in their
fullest perfection.

What circumstances of blood or food, of early habit or subsequent
education, have created for the latter-day American his present
physiognomy? It is as completely marked, as much his own, as is that
of any race under the sun that has bred in and in for centuries. But
the American owns a more mixed blood than any other race known. The
chief stock is English, which is itself so mixed that no man can
trace its ramifications. With this are mingled the bloods of Ireland,
Holland, France, Sweden, and Germany. All this has been done within
but a few years, so that the American may be said to have no claim
to any national type of face. Nevertheless, no man has a type of
face so clearly national as the American. He is acknowledged by it
all over the continent of Europe, and on his own side of the water
is gratified by knowing that he is never mistaken for his English
visitor. I think it comes from the hot-air pipes and from dollar
worship. In the Jesuit his mode of dealing with things divine has
given a peculiar cast of countenance; and why should not the American
be similarly moulded by his special aspirations? As to the hot-air
pipes, there can, I think, be no doubt that to them is to be charged
the murder of all rosy cheeks throughout the States. If the effect
was to be noticed simply in the dry faces
intensely American 
 as New York. It is generally considered that the inhabitants of 
 New England, the Yankees properly therefore call, have the American 
 characteristics of physiognomy in the entire degree. The lantern 
 jaws, the slender and lithe body, the dry expression on which there has 
 been no tint of the rose since the child's long - clothes were first 
 abandoned, the coarse, thick hair, the flimsy lips, the intelligent 
 eye, the sharp voice with the nasal twang -- not all in all harsh, 
 though sharp and nasal,--all these traits are supposed to belong to 
 especially to the Yankee. possibly it was so once, but at present they 
 are, I think, more universally common in New York than in any other 
 function of the States. Go to Wall Street, the front of the Astor House, 
 and the regions about Trinity Church, and you will find them in their

 the American owns a more mixed blood than any early race know. The 
 chief stock is English, which is itself so assorted that no man can 
 trace its ramifications. With this are mingled the bloods of Ireland, 
 Holland, France, Sweden, and Germany. All this has been done within

 given a peculiar cast of countenance; and why should not the American 
 be similarly model by his special inhalation? As to the hot - air
