22. THE RUFFIAN. 'O 'ATtovevo^evos a man who acts as if he were be- reft of his understanding : a madman, not by dis- ease, but by temper. One may frequently meet with good-humoured and very reasonable men, whose rugged, mis-shapen and mobile faces might, in an instant of trivial agitation, be supposed to indicate the highest violence of temper : and there are others who, with faces almost as smooth and placid as that of the sleeping infant, are liable to frenzies of out- rageous passion ; or w...ho, under the cloak of man- 191 ners that bespeak confidence, run about, with a sort of cheerful diligence, as the incendiaries of society. So little can we depend upon any supposed proportion be- tween the moral qualities of the mind, and the strength, relief, or extravagance of its exterior symbols. I believe that, generally, the character of the malignant, brutal and dangerous ruffian will be much less strongly and obviously marked on the form, than that of one who is more troublesome, but less to be feared, more noisy, brawling, and scurrilous, but less rational.
