In this case, the jaws, together with the teeth, would become reduced in size, as wo may feel almost sure from innumerable analogous cases.
85 ページ - Ask a northern Indian, says a traveller who has lately visited them, ask a northern Indian, What is beauty * and he will answer, a broad flat face, small eyes, high cheek-bones, three or four broad black lines across each cheek, a low forehead, a large broad chin, a clumsy hook nose, &c.
