Tha mouth is a shade more sensitive and mobile, the eyes a trife larger and inore charged with mirth, the lower jaw appre ciably longer; but the general contour and effect, are virtually the same, with the advantage, perhaps, of a more businesslike air of precision on Mr Chamberlain's side aad of a greater charm and reflectivonsas on Mr Wilson's.
