Wing (2nd ed.) 5462A & 5467 (Chironomia); GM-5 3346; Wellcome II p. 270; Rieber Catalog 77. Bulwer's first and second books. Though the Chironomia was only issued with the Chirologia, Bulwer regarded it as a separate work.

A foundation text for kinesics and a pathbreaking work in the study of body language, gesture, sign language, rhetoric, and deafness. An early English proponent of Baconian natural philosophy, Bulwer argued here in his first two published works that gesticulation was a natural human language, the rhetoric of which he discussed in the second book. Bulwer was the first to emphasize the use of gestures in public speaking and the first to illustrate such gestures with pictures.
