compose pour son ouvrage un article important_, &c., in the year 1805;
and I find in volume i. of the edition of 1820 passages bearing the
dates of December 12, 1805, and another January 5, 1806, besides that
of April 13, 1806, above referred to. In consequence of some of these
passages having thus been _composed_ in 1805, Dr. Duchenne assigns to
M. Moreau the priority over Sir C. Bell, whose work, as we have seen,
was published in 1806. This is a very unusual manner of determining the
priority of scientific works; but such questions are of extremely
little importance in comparison with their relative merits. The
passages above quoted from M. Moreau and from Le Brun are taken in this
and all other cases from the edition of 1820 of Lavater, tom. iv. p.
228, and tom. ix. p. 279.]

Spencer has written another, on Morals and Moral Sentiments, in the
Fortnightly Review, April 1, 1871, p. 426. He has, also, now
published his final conclusions in vol. ii. of the second edit. of the
Principles of Psychology, 1872, p. 539. I may state, in order that I
may not be accused of trespassing on Mr. Spencer s domain, that I
announced in my Descent of Man, that I had then written a part of the
present volume: my first MS. notes on the subject of expression bear
the date of the year 1838.]
