BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND ANALYTICAL READINGS OF THE FEATURES OF RENOWNED AND NOTORIOUS INDIVIDUALS OF PAST GENERATIONS FROM CASTS AND SKULLS [Each lesson will be accompanied by two or more heads and analytical readings. They should be studied carefully.]

	The author has preferred to make use of the casts of heads and faces of well known individuals of all classes of past generations for illustrating his subject rather than portraits of the living, as candid diagnosis can thus be freely employed and the feelings of no one can be injured. The delineations accompanying the following plates, with the exception of that of Dr. Gall, are intended only as brief sketches and are not in any sense to be regarded as complete and detailed readings, which would require more space than could be spared for the purpose. A death mask is ideal for disclosing the character which belonged to a person in life, for the reason that it shows the countenance minus artificial expressions of every kind; and if both anterior and lateral views are obtainable, as is the case with this collection, every characteristic of a subject stands revealed. The author does not anticipate that his readings from death masks will in all cases correspond in detail with historical or biographical records; in fact, they may at times materially differ, and, indeed, such similarity has not been aimed at. However, as the records from which he takes his diagnoses are implanted in the bone of the cranium itself and in the features of the deceased, he has the authority of nature to substantiate his views and consequently he can rest satisfied as to their accuracy. It has required many years for the author to form his collection of masks and skulls, of which the majority of the subjects shown in these illustrations are a part.

UNESCO's Director-General highlights key role of education in poverty eradication

October 17, 2003 - Poverty presents a threat to world security that affects each and every one of us, says the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura in his message on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

Some three billion women and men live on less than two dollars a day. Eight million children die each year as a result of poverty. But poverty is not inevitable, Mr Matsuura added. More
