the act or habit of eat- ing human flesh. This is pretended by some to be the effect of a disease, which leads people affected with it to eat everything alike. Some choose only to con- sider it as a species of Pica. The annals of Milan fur- nish an extraordinary instance of anthropophagy. A Milanese woman named Elizabeth, from a depraved appetite, like what women with child, and those whose menstrues are obstructed, frequently experience, had an invincible inclination to human flesh, of which she made provision by enticing children into her house, where she killed and salted them: a discovery of which having been made, she was broken on the wheel and burnt in 1519.

ANTHIPOPOSCOPIA, from ἀνθρώπος, and σκοπεῖν, I consider, the art of judging or discovering a man's character, disposition, passions, and inclinations, from the lineaments of his body. In which sense, anthro- pocopia seems of somewhat greater extent than phy- siognomy or metoposcopy. Otto has published an An- thropocopia, sive judicium hominis de homine ex linea- mentis externis.
