	Lavater, Johann Kaspar Criticism and Essays
		Lavater was one of the leading intellectuals of the age, and the impact of his theories on European literature and thought persisted well into the nineteenth century, particularly so in Germany and England.
		Lavater returned to Zurich shortly thereafter but was shot in the abdomen by an occupying French soldier on September 26, 1799, when he came to the aid of two Swiss women.
		Accordingly, Lavater described physiognomy as “the science of knowledge of the correspondence between the external and internal man, the visible superficies and the invisible contents.” His primary focus was the head and face, which he believed could reveal the often disguised secrets of one's moral nature.

		Born in the city-state of Zürich on November 15, 1741, Johann Caspar Lavater rose from a background of relative prosperity to a position of international renown in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
		Though Lavater’s attempts to systematise this practice of reading character in the lineaments of the body, which he alternately characterised as a “science” and an “art”, has by now been largely discredited, he remains a significant figure in the history of Western art and ideas.
		The heady combination of theological, aesthetic and political zeal, which was to remain a constituent and enduring component of Lavater’s character, prompted his first intervention in the public sphere in 1762 when, along with Füssli and Felix Hess, he circulated a pamphlet exposing the corruption of Felix Grebel, a Swiss Bailiff.

	Common-place: The Physiognomy of Biometrics
		Lavater’s distinction between pathognomy (the study of man’s passions and his visible, but impermanent facial expressions) and physiognomy (the study of the correspondence between man’s moral character and his permanent and unalterable facial features) limited the power of people to manipulate the reception of their image in public, since it disassociated expression from character.
		By turning to physiognomy as a way to detect vice, expose dissimulation, and undermine social mobility in their novels, Rowson and other postrevolutionary authors reproduced Lavater’s opposition between a model of character read from performance and one read from the structure of the face.
		In contrast to the revisable, performed, and voluntary self of the fortune-hunting seducer Cogdie, for instance, The Inquisitor posits the permanent, physiognomic, and involuntary one used by the invisible rambler to unmask him.
