This book fulfills the following promises as it pertains to the invention of literary characters:
Reduce each Character to elements whose combinations suffice (the systems heretofore contradictory being reconciled) to reconstitute the most complex personality.
Classify methodically all the figures of history, legend and poetry, taken from the most widely separated countries and centuries, in groups less and less dense, which is to say more and more closely approaching individuality.
Count and measure exactly the lacunae in our literary creations or psychological observations, and to fill them with an equal number of characters, whose proportions are likewise sketched.
Readers will also find through the issuing of patient labor, several future structures already well begun, those of Comparative Heredity, the Rhythms of History, the mathematical laws of narrative and dramatic Composition, a theory of Comparative Literature, Comparative Biography, modernized Rhetoric, Universal Versification, and building, for the first time, a veritable "New Science" whose rules are not sentimental but definite and exact: the SCIENCE OF THE HUMAN HEART.
