    TABLE OF CONTENTS. -o~ PAGES Introduction, with Appendix x to xx The early days of graphology ;—The meaning of the term graphology—The first book upon the subject, by Baldo— Leibnitz, Goethe, Lavater, Moreau, Henze, and Delestre —The graphologie work of the Abbé Alichon . . i to 9 The basis of graphology :—Instinctive graphology—General signs, particular signs, and résultants—Objections—The nature of graphology, and the scope ofits investigations— Is it a science?—Sources of error—Experimental inquiry, and the necessary conditions for success . . . 10 to 29 Principles of graphologie analysis :— I. The signs 30 to 31 II. The meaning of a trait in handwriting is investigated by considering it as a physiological movement, and by bringing it into general connection with the corre- sponding psychological State, taking into account also the constancy and the emphasis of the trait observed 32 to 35 III. Our organism sometimes reacts with similar external results under psychological conditions which are different ; thus a graphologie sign does not neces- sarily represent only a single trait of character . 35 to 50 IV. The saine personal characteristic may be expressed by different signs, or by combinations of signs (résultants'), and we cannot infer from the absence of a certain sign the existence of the quality opposite to that which such sign indicates . . . • Si to 53 V.
