"Nature's Revelations of Character; or, Physiognomy Illustrated" by Joseph Simms explores the purported connection between physical appearance and inner character. Published in 1879, this book delves into the principles of physiognomy, attempting to describe and analyze the mental, moral, and volitive dispositions of mankind as revealed through the human form and countenance. Simms presents his observations and theories on how to interpret facial features and bodily characteristics as indicators of personality traits and inherent qualities.

This work offers a fascinating glimpse into the 19th-century interest in occult sciences and the desire to understand human nature through external signs. While rooted in now-discredited scientific theories, the book remains a valuable historical document reflecting the social and intellectual currents of its time.
