Each of the thirty-five organs are described in the degrees of very large, large, full, moderate, and small, or very small. The written figures placed in the margin indicate the respective sizes of each organ in the individual examined-11 or 12 being the maximum, and 1, 2, 3, or 4 the minimum. For instance, if an organ is marked VERY LARGE, it will be indicated by the figures 11 or 12 being placed in the margin opposite very large, 12 expressing a more active degree than 11, and when marked so high, it is somewhat liable to abuse, or excessive action, unless the controling organs are also very large. When the organ or faculty is marked 9, or 10, it is then LARGE, and presents a strong feature of character, but not to abuse or inordinate activity, unless the intellect or sentiments are very deficient. When numbered 7, or 8, the faculty is then FULL, but does not present great activity, but may be considered above mediocrity. If marked 5, or 6, only, it is then but MODERATE, or rather inactive, and implies a deficiency of the organ, and not easily roused to action. If marked as low as 1, 2, 3, or 4, it is then minimum, SMALL, or VERY SMALL, and infers an extremely inferior or deficient development in organs so designated. To assist the student, the dot is placed opposite the particular line applicable to the character of the person examined, which line he is to read as his own character. The same scale of figures is also applied to the temperaments, and the average size of head and degree of activity. The organ of Tune, and some few others, the author does not usually mark, as the temporal muscle and ridge present an impossibility of ascertaining exactly the size of these organs. In estimating the phrenological character, it may be found that many of the organs are marked very large, from which we have to fear an excessive action. In such case it is desirable that a check should be placed on the activity of such organ or organs, (which, indeed, is the great use of a phrenological examination,) by the continual exercise of those of a dissimilar character. On the contrary, those which are marked small, or moderate, require stimulating as far as practicable. Those organs which require repressing in their action will be marked with a dash · below the figure, and those which need stimulating will have a dot above the figure. The delineation of character by this mode may also sometimes appear contradictory: thus, when the organs of Benevolence and Acquisitiveness are both marked very large, the description would then seem to imply that such a person would be both miserly and generous. Such betray often a penny-wise and pound-foolish disposition. The same may also be said of Destructiveness, or passion and severity coupled with great good nature. Such an one will be as free to forgive as to resent an injury. These feelings are by no means incompatible in the same person. The author has designated by marks several portions of the brain, the functions of which are not fully ascertained. From recent observations he is inclined to the opinion there is a semiintellectual function or organ, Suavity, (*) between 13 and 34. The mark (?) under 17, the organ of Sublimity. Under 3, the mark (4) is by some marked Inhabitiveness, which he does not mark. The star (*) behind the ear, is Vitativeness, (doubtful.) The (*) before it, is Alimentiveness, confirmed by all phrenologists. The star (*) beneath the eyes, one phrenologist only conceives to be the organ of Chemicality. (Improbable.) The organ of Tune the author declines marking, unless it is extraordinary small or large, in consequence of the impossibility of ascertaining its exact size, from the thickness of the temporal muscle which covers it. The temporal ridge, or thickening of the skull in adult age, also presents a difficulty. PHRENOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CHARACTER, BY CLASSIFICATION OF THE ORGANS. ORDER 1-Feelings. GENUS 1-Propensities. Very Large-An extreme fondness; blind, passionate admiration. Amativeness very large, combined with very large intellect, as in profile No. 1, contrasted with Idiot, No. 2, having very small Amativeness and less Intellect. Physiognomical language-the whole head and person, particularly the eyes, are intensely riveted and directed towards the object desired. Uses-tenderness, kindness, and sympathy for the opposite sex, propagation of the species. Abuses-immoderate, blind passion, no discrimination, for which reason Love is painted blind. Location-in the posterior base of the head, just above where the hair terminates. The size may be ascertained by the thickness of neck and head behind the ears; usually much the largest in males. "Things base and vile, holding no quality, Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind He says he loves my daughter; I think so too, for never gazed the moon Upon the water, as he 'll stand and read As 't were my daughter's eyes; and, to be plain, I think there is not half a kiss to choose |
