FEELINGS:

CLASS I...PROPENSITIES. The faculties included in
this class are common to man and the inferior animals, and
produce what in the latter is commonly understood by the
term Instinct.

1. Amativettess. The organ of this faculty (the ce-
rebellum) is situated at the lower part of the back of +be
head; and at the commencement of the neck. Its func-
Win Sainaiently tuillCa.,uQ Ly 40 designation. In infancy
this part is less developed than any other, attains its
full size between the ages of eighteen and twenty. Where
deviations have been observed, there has been a corres-
pondency in the intensity of the feeling. In cases in
which this organ is largely developed there is a great
thickness at the upper and back part of the neck.
2. Philo-progenitiveness, or love of offspring. The
organ of this faculty is generally larger in females, and is
situated immediately above the former organ, at the pro-
jecting part of the back of the head, and.when very large
gives a drooping or overhanging appearance to this part.
3. Concentrativeness, or, as it was formerly termed, In-
habitiveness, is situated immediately below the crown of the
head, and above philo-progenitiveness. It is found large in
animals attached to particular places, as well as, in persons
of sedentary habits, and who possess the power of con-
centrating their thoughts upon any particular subject.
Phrenologists, however, are not finally agreed upon its
function.

4. Adhesiveness. This organ is situated on each side of
concentrativeness, or rather between that organ and philn-
progenitiveness. Where it is large, the individual becomes
easily and strongly attached to persons, places, animals, or
things. In social life it gives ardour to friendship, and cha-
racterizes the individual as warm-hearted.

5. Combativeness is situated below the former organs,
and on each side that of philo-progenitiveness. This organ,
when moderately developed, gives courage, when large, a
a disposition to, and a delight in, contention and. attack.
When small, cowardice and timidity are the result.
6. Destructiveness. This organ will be found imme-
diately over the ear. A fullness in this part indicates a
desire to annihilate, and is found large in carnivorous ani-
mals ; and this led to its discovery. There is this difference
between its function and that of combativeness—that while
combativeness would resist an attack, or provoke contention,
it would impel no further than to obtain the victory : de-
structiveness would seek to annihilate, or destroy the ob-
ject of its revenge.
7. Secretiveness, immediately over the former. This
faculty gives the impulse to conceal the various thoughts,
feelings, and emotions that arc passing in the mind. Mo-
derately developed it gives prudence : when large, strata-
gem and treachery may be the result ; or illiberality in
communicating information and knowledge. It is large in
actors, and persons remarkable for deception, or the power
of concealing or disguising their feelings.
8. Acquisitiveness. The organ is situated immediately
before the last, and gives the impulse to the mind of the
desire of gain and- property. In combination with other
faculties,. it may create the desire of making collections of
pictures, statues, coins, and objects of vertu. Largely
developed, and without counteracting faculties, it will lead
to a miserly disposition, and to dishonest modes of appro-
priation. It is large in animals who lay up stores of food.
9. Constructiveness. The situation of this organ is im-
mediately before the latter. This faculty inspires with a
love of practical mechanics, or, if combined with form,
colour, and imitation, it will lead to painting, &c. In birds
which build nests, or animals which burrow or build huts, it
is large.
CLASS 11.--7 SENTIMENTS. These consist of emotions
attendant upon certain instincts or propensities, unaccom-
panied by any exercise of the intellect ; some.of these arc
also common to man and animals, and will be considered
first.

10. Self-esteem. This organ is situated at the top of
the head. A moderate endowment of this sentiment exerts
only a salutary influence ; when large, conceit, vanity, cen-
soriousness or selfishness, may be the result ; and when
small, diffidence, and want of enterprise and spirit.
11. Love of Approbation, is situated on each side of the
latter, and inspires the desire of pleasing, and obtaining the
'good opinion of others. This, like self-esteem, moderately
developed, is highly beneficial in its effects—it is probably
the chief ingredient of sensibility. When large, cringing
and parasitical conduct may be the result. When defi-
cient, recklessness and depravity of conduct are the pro-
bable consequences. Like the last, this organ is large in
horses, dogs, &c.
12. Cautiousness, is situated below, and rather between
and before the latter and secretiveness ; its function is to
produce the emotion of fear. Like the organ which lies
contiguous to it, a moderate development of it is essential
to the composition of the prudent character. Large, it
produces timidity and alarm from inadequate causes. Mo-
derate, it produceS bashfulness and modesty ; while impru-
dence and daring would characterize the individual in whom
it is deficient. It is large in the hare, and in some birds,
13. Benevolence, extends backwards from the middle of
the forehead, on the top of the head. This organ, freely
developed, produces the philanthropist, and prompts to
acts of generosity and liberality ; while a deficiency makes
the misanthrope, and gives an ascetic and morose cast tq
the mind.

i.slc ntipirn4 propv: to.2llant.
14. Veneration. This organ is situated at the top part
of the head immediately behind benevolence, on a front as-
spect of the head, This faculty inspires with reverence

and respect for superior's and rulers; :oi with adoration of
the Supreme Being. In the absence of Revelation, it hue
manifested itself in image worship, or the deification t f
eminent men, the sun, moon, ST.e. It gives rise to feelings
of respect to ruins and the memory of past ages., A defi-
ciency 'produces a democratical subversive. disposition, and
disposes to acts of disobedience and disrespect.
1.5. Firtinicss, is situated between the last and tl-.,e or-
gan of self-esteem. Largely developed, severity, determi-
nation, and stern perseverance or .obstinacy,, are the cha-
racteristics. Moderate, it gives solidity to judgment and
force to conviction. Its absence would, of Bourse, make
an unsettled character.

16. Conscientiousness, is situated on each side of tl:®
latter,; and between' it and cautiousness. Its function
could not, perhaps, be better expressed : it inspires a sense
to act honestly and do justice-. ' It is of the highest im-
portance in regulating and crintrolling the action of 'other
faculties.

17. Hope.. This organ is situated on each side of vene-
ration, and immediately before the last (conscientious-
ness). Persons in whom this organ is large, are pro-
digal in promises, without regard to the practicability of
their fulfilment : they are optimists, who see every thing
fraught with advanta.-,-es, smiling in all the verdure of beauty
and sunshine qf pleasure. Moderate, it of course operates
benefieiz!Viy, and inspires with zeal in enterprise. In the
asePCe of it, the mind is habitually gloomy, overcast, ais-
satisfied, or melancholy.
18.0 Wouder, or Marvellousness, is situated at some
little distance from, and on each side of, benevolence. It
inspires with a love of the marvellous, a delight in • being
surprised by things novel, extraordinary, or supernatural
--
a love and implicit belief of fiction or improbable incident-
In re!igion, it would tend to produce fanaticism. Mode
rate, it probably excites to the study of natural history and
general physics. _

19. Ideality, immediately below the last, and en the
upper part of the side of the head. This faculty gives
vivid conceptions and splendid imaginations. It 'lnspires no-
tions of supernatural perfection, and is essential to the poet,
the painter, and the sculptor.

20. Wit, or Mirthfulness, or Gaiety, is situated on the
upper part of the side of the forebear', Its function will
be understood by every one. If cP:mbined with combative-
ness, or destructiveness, it indv.ces a satirical disposition
if with benevolence, it will 1,,e harmless and inoffensive
and, aided by comparison, 1:x0n-ins clever and amusing.
21. Imitation, is situated on each side benevolence. It
is found large in artists and actors. It is generally .active
and large in children, since, in the early part of life, it is
in more constant exercise than apy other. When it is large,
the individual presents no originality in his character.

INTELLECTUAL FACULTIES.
I. PERCEPTIVE.-22. Individuality, is situated in the
middle of the lower part of the forehead. When large, it
gives a fullness or breadth between the eyebrows imme&
ately over the nose. It gives the faculty ofjudging between
things or distinguishing objects, and is thus of adva:ltage in
the study of natural history, &c.
23. Form. The size of this organ is estimated by the
distance between the internal angles of the eyes. It con'
tributes to constitute the painter, sculptor, &c., by giving
correct representation of the figure of an object.
24. Size, immediately over the former, gives the faculty
of estimating the space occupied by an object. Thus it
gives the power of judging of perspective.
25. Weight or Resistance. Tl".e faculty which enables
persons to estimate with facility and precision the resistance
or momentum of bodies, as. iu archery, &c.
26. Colour. Dr. Spilreneim states, that a large deve'
lopement of this organ is indicated by an arched appal";
ante in the middle of the eyebrow. It gives the faculty 01
readily distinguishing colours and detecting the want °I
harmony between them. It is large in the old makers.
27. Locality, is situated on each side of individuality,
near the centre and lower part of the forehead. The el"
istence of this organ was suggested to Dr. Gall by obsery
ing that some persons were enabled with great facility t°
recognize or recal places and objects. This observation he
was led to make while at school ; and, being convinced
that it was independent of the faculty of sight, he was
induced to consider it a separate faculty, which subsequent
observations have confirmed.* Dr. Gall observes, it 15
generally large in chess players.
28. Number, just beyond and above the external angle
of the eye. When large, it gives the appearance of de-
pression ccf the arch of the eyebrow, or of elevation of its
external base. It gives the faculty of computing with
facility and accuracy. It has been found large in persons
who have been remarkable in the science of numbers.
29. Order, is situated over the external angle of the,
eye, about one-third of its length. It excites a love et
order and arrangement ; and when large, confusion,and dis'
order become painful.
30. Eventuality, in the centre of the forehead, imme'
diately over individuality. Dr. Gall originally gave this
organ the name of the " memory of things." Where it is
large, itgivei an aptness of apprehension and quickness ot
conception, of things. In persons of good general practical
knowledge, this organ was found well developed.
31. Time, or the faculty of remembering dates, and ob-
serving time in music, is found to 'vary in different
duals. It has, therefore, been considered a separate fir
culty. The situation of the organ is over the centre of the
arch of the eyebrow.
32. Tune, or Melody. This organ stands contiguous
to the former, on the external descending part of the arch
of the eyebrow. Largely developed, it increases the
breadth of the forehead. Dr. Spurzheim found it very
large in singing birds.
33. Language. The situation of this organ is • incite
diately behind the eye. When large, the eye stands POI
minently forward, or appears turned a little outwards sou
downwards. It gives facility in expression, and, whel
largely developed, inspires the individual with the love °f
talking, so that a real pleasure is felt in the act of speck'
ing, without regard to the novelty or force of the remark.
made.

11. REFLECTING, OR REASONING FACULTIES.
34. Comparison, is situated in the centre and upper pa-
rt
of the forehead, and, when largely developed, has some'
what the form of a reversed pyramid. A large endowment
of this faculty gives the power of perceiying resemblances;
similitudes, and analogies. In writing, the style is fiorit'
or analogical, and, if combined with a good development
of gaiety, great wit and vivacity will probably be the re'
suit ; and if there be at the same time a deficiency of bear
volence, a delight may be felt in satire and making invidioug
comparisons, to the disparagement of others. In argati
ment, it will induce a tendency to make comparisons
discover analogies. It would appear to be a necessary
gredient in the composition of a connoisseur or person °
taste.

35. Causality. The organ of this faculty is situated 01
either side of the former. Its function is to inspire the
individual with a desire to ascertain the whence and where"
fore of all things. It is found large in persons addicted to
abstruse studies, fond of metephysics and abstract speculr
tions. When small, the mind is superficial, and incapabli°
of comprehensive views of the mutual dependencies an
consequences of things, and there is a tendency ,to sue'
curnb to the expediency of the moment."
*" How is it," said Dr. Gall, when a boy, to one of
fellow-students, " that you contrive to find Your way so easiv
through intricate places, through which you have only on e°
been :" " How is it," replied his companion, with the sae
feeling of surprise, " that you contrive not to find youis ?"
