18th c. acting manuals

[Rebecca Burton]

Hi!
        I'm looking for manuals on (late) 18th century acting practices. I have read up on the overall style but now I am looking for texts that give specific  examples or illustrations of the universal facial expressions and gestures that the actors employed. Can anybody out there suggest texts that give such         examples?
        Thank you in advance for your help.
        Rebecca
