Beauty: Illustrated Chiefly by an Analysis and Classificatin of Beauty in Woman

"Beauty: Illustrated Chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of Beauty in Woman" by Alexander Walker is a mid-19th century scientific exploration that tries to understand beauty, mainly in women, by looking at its philosophical, anatomical, and psychological roots. Presenting beauty as more than just looks, it argues that it shows a person's good qualities and health. It talks about how beauty affects relationships and society, suggesting that it is very important for human connections and dreams, criticizing other ideas about beauty, and promising to carefully study what makes up beauty, especially in women.
