The person for whom the foregoing Chart is marked should choose a com- panion having a constitution and mental qualities as indicated by the marmng of this table. ADAPTATION IN MARRIAGE.

The examiner will mark the power of each function and faculty by placing a figure, a dot or dash on a line with the name of the organ marked, and in a column headed "large," "full," etc, ac- cording to the size of each organ; while the printed figure in the square thus marked refers to the page in this book where will be found a description of the person examined, under the head "very large," "large," "full," "average," "moderate," "small" or " very small." When an organ is half-way between two sizes it is represented by two figures, as 5 to 6, or 3 to 4, which is equivalent to 5| or 3|. In these cases both sentences may be read and a medium between the two will be appropriate. This sign -|-, plus, signifies about one-third of a degree larger, and the sign -, minus, one-third of a number less, than the mark indicates. DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. I. PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. I.-ORGANIC QUALITY. (-7.) Very Good.-You have a remarkably refined, sensitive, and delicate organization; are susceptible of exquisite enjoyment and intense suffering; and are greatly affected by extremes of heat and cold, especially the latter. You are adapted to fine and light work rather than to that which is coarse and heavy, have poetic and artistic tastes, lofty aspirations, tender sympathies, and a longing for congenial companionship. Being inclined to live too far above the common interests and pursuits of life, you fail to find full appreciation, and are subjected to much suffering by the rude contacts involved among the every-day realities of this life. Cultivate a more robust bodily condi- tion-eat, drink, sleep, and grow fat-and try to live more in the real and less in the ideal world. (6.) Good.-You are fine-grained, high-toned, and delicately organ- ized; susceptible, sensitive, and sympathetic; refined in your tastes, pleasures, and aspirations; and repelled by whatever is low, coarse, or gross. You are liable to extremes in feeling and acting; are likely to be either very good or very bad; suffer keenly, enjoy deeply, and are generally either greatly exalted or greatly depressed; have exquisite tastes; love the beautiful, and desire, if you do not always seek, the good and the true. (5.) Full.-Yours is neither a coarse nor an over-wrought organiza- tion. Your .tendencies, so far as your constitution affects them, are upward rather than downward, and your tastes elevating rather than degrading. You must avoid all those habits which minister to the animal passions and clog mental manifestation, and strive to elevate yourself far above the gross and groveling multitude. 8 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER1. (4.) Average.-You are rather deficient in quality or delicacy in your organization ; plain in your tastes; practical in your views; not very poetical or sentimental; and better fitted for the matter-of-fact routine of every-day life than for the higher walks of literature and art. You must cultivate the Mental Temperament, and be careful to contract no debasing habits, as one error, in a person of your organi- zation, is likely to lead to others and to final ruin. (3.) Moderate.-Your organic quality is below the average and your mental manifestations sluggish and weak. You are better adapted to manual labor than to study, and should not attempt any of the more delicate mechanical trades. You must try to make up, by the assiduous cultivation of your intellectual and moral powers, for your lack of natural organic endowments. Avoid, by all means, drinking, smoking, and low company. (2.) Poor.-Yours is a coarse-grained structure, and all your appe- tites, tastes, and desires are of the plainer, coarser kind. There is the most urgent need in your case to restrain the passions; to put yourself in the way of moral and religious influences; and to cultivate the intellectual faculties, so far as you are able. (7.) Very Good.-You arc full of life; vigorous, strong, buoyant, and hearty in the highest degree, and enjoy exquisite pleasure in the mere sense of animal existence. (6.) Good.-All your bones, muscles, and nerves are apparently in good working order, and you enjoy the exercise of every organ of body and brain. You should now manifest your greatest efficiency in both physical and mental action; find study and work alike easy and pleasant; and be able to endure toil, exposure, and hardship with impunity. (5.) Full.-You have a full share of vigor and vital stamina; can work with efficiency and endure considerable hardship; but have no life-force to waste in unnecessary and fruitless effort. (4.) Average.-You have a fair degree of health, but are liable to ailments, and must live regularly, pay strict attention to the laws of your being, and be carefid not to overwork yourself, and thus break down your constitution. (3.) Moderate.-You are deficient in vitality; are easily fatigued; often ailing, and seldom capable of any great degree of physical or mental exertion. You must avoid overdoing, and make the restoration of your health your first object. Stop all unnecessary drafts upon your remaining stock of vitality, and seek, by means of rest, sleep, and recreation, to increase it. Drinking, smoking, chewing, late hours, and all kinds of dissipation, must be entirely avoided. (2.) Poor.-You have but a small amount of health left, and must IL-STATE OF THE HEALTH. PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. 9 make use of every means within your reach for its improvement. Try to arouse yourself to combat your ailments. Pluck is as essential in meeting the attacks of disease as in opposing a human foe. A strong will has saved many a life. " Courage and Hope "-let that be your motto. III.-THE VITAL TEMPERAMENT. (7.) Very Largely Developed.-This temperament is character- ized by rotundity. You are plump, stout, full-chested, and fond of fresh air and the luxuries of life; but you like play better than hard Work. In mental character there is a tendency to impulsiveness, en- thusiasm, versatility, practicality, and to take a matter-of-fact view of things. Your fondness for good living, jovial company, sports and amusements, render you liable to fall into habits of intemperance, against which you must be continually on your guard. If you find yourself inclined to an uncomfortable obesity, your remedy must be work, and a spare diet. Keep both body and mind actively engaged, and avoid indolence and the indulgences of the table as your greatest foes. By a rigid adherence to a low and moderate diet, and by vigor- mis manual labor, you may greatly modify and improve your tempera- ment. (G.) Largely Developed.-You are well-proportioned, full-chested, and amply supplied with the oil of life. All your joints are thor- oughly lubricated, and your mental machinery works without fric- tion. You are likely to manifest a good degree of business talent, and to be not averse to doing your share of necessary work, when there is profit in it. You have great need to exercise all your moral sense, caution, and will-power in avoiding and resisting the temptations to excess in eating, drinking, and indulging the propensities, which -so easily beset you. Occasional fasting, rather than feasting, should be practiced. (5.) Full.-You possess a fair share of the vital element, and partake of the characteristics noted in (G) and (7) in a proportionate degree. You need to increase rather than diminish this element. Every sort of dissipation should be avoided, and regular hours, with plenty of sleep, secured. (4.) Average.-Your vitality is sufficient to give the functions of body and brain a fair share of energy, and to sustain life and health if carefully husbanded; but you should seek to increase it by a diet and habits promotive of alimentation and nutrition. Alternate exer- cise and rest; sleep as much as nature seems to demand; seek recrea- tion ; take life more easy ; eat plain but nutritious food ; enjoy all of life ; " laugh and grow fat." (3.) Weakly Developed.-Your constitution is deficient in the vital element, and you are languid and inefficient in consequence. You 10 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. require much rest and sleep, and must be very careful not to overwork either body or mind [see previous section (4)], and assiduously make use of all available means to increase your vitality. (2.) Very Feebly Developed.-You have barely enough vitality to keep your bodily and mental functions in operation. You must make use of the very small stock you now possess, as capital to be used for the purpose of increasing it, as directed in previous sections You must "stop the leaks," and give the reservoir time to fill up; live on the interest, instead of consuming both interest and principal, and thus becoming so far impoverished that there shall be no hope of recovery. IV.-BREATHING POWER. (7.) Very Good.-Your respiratory organs are admirably developed, and their functions well-nigh perfectly performed. You breathe freely and deeply, moving the abdominal muscles as well as the lungs, and filling your chest at every inspiration. The effects of this functional power and activity may be observed in your warm hands and feet, elastic motions, and buoyant spirits. (6.) Good.-You have a well-developed chest and excellent breath- ing power, indicated as in (7), only in a slightly lower degree. (5.) Full.-You are above the average in breathing power generally, but if your Habits be sedentary, you will need to resort to artificial means to expand the lungs and to keep up the circulation. (4.) Average.-Your breathing power is only medium, but you have a fair share of warmth, and can keep your feet and hands warm by proper exercise. You should take the measures recommended on p. 2G (foot note) for expanding the chest. (3.) Moderate.-You breathe too little to thoroughly vitalize the blood, seldom filling the lungs, moving the chest but little, and the abdominal muscles scarcely at all; are liable to colds, which have a tendency to settle on the lungs; have cold feet and hands and blue veins near the surface. You must cultivate breathing power, and ex- pand the chest. This can be done with great certainty, but you must begin carefully and avoid fatigue in your exercises. (2.) Weak.-You are very deficient in the development of the respiratory organs, liable to colds and coughs, and predisposed to consumption; but while your lungs remain sound, you may hope to ward off disease and greatly improve your breathing power and general health by right living and the necessary physical culture. In addition to the chest-expanding exercise you must live much in the open air; keep your rooms well ventilated; sit, stand, and walk erect, bathe the chest frequently with cold water, rubbing it briskly with the naked hands, to bring the blood to the surface. Go into the mountains, or take a sea voyage. PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. 11 (7.) Very Good.-You have an excellent circulation; a strong, steady pulse ; perspire freely; and are able to withstand great cold and heat without discomfort. (6.) Good.-Your circulation is generally good, and your lower extremities seldom cold. You suffer little from clear cold weather and do not readily contract disease. (5.) Full.-You have a fair circulation, but need bodily exercise to keep the extremities warm in cold weather, and should promote this function by active employments or recreations. (4.) Average.-Your circulation is not remarkably good, and you sometimes feel chilly or have cold feet and hands. Promote the uni- form movement of the vital fluid by brisk exercise, especially in cold weather. (3.) Moderate.-Your circulation is rather poor. You are very liable to cold feet and hands, headache, palpitation of the heart, and a dry skin; can not withstand extremes of heat and cold, and need to exercise briskly and practice breathing fully and deeply, as recom- mended in previous section. (2.) Weak.-You have a weak and very unequal circulation; suffer greatly from changes of temperature; are often chilly, even in warm weather; are troubled with headache, pressure on the brain, and very cold extremities. The Turkish bath, if accessible, will benefit you; also tepid foot-baths, brisk and hard rubbing of the hands and feet, walking, and the breathing exercise. Horse-back riding is one of the very best exercises to promote and equalize the circulation. Skating, rowing, climbing the hills, etc., are also useful, when taken with proper care. V.-CIRCULATION. VI.-DIGESTION. (7.) Very Good.-Your digestion is almost perfect, and you can eat with impunity any sort of food suitable, under any circumstances, to be received into the human stomach. (6.) Good.-Your digestive power is strong and your relish for food excellent. Plain substantial aliment suits you best, and you are able to make whatever you take into your stomach contribute to the nourish- ment of the system. (5.) Full.-You have good digestion, but not so strong that it may not be easily injured by improper food and wrong habits of eating. You must avoid heavy meals and indigestible articles of diet. Reg- ulate the quantity of food taken by the judgment, rather than by the appetite. (4.) Average.-You have only a fair degree of digestive power, and must be careful not to impair it by overeating, by the use of condi- ments, stimulants, etc. 12 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. (3) and (2.) Moderate or Weak.-You are predisposed to dys- pepsia ; often have a poor appetite; suffer from indigestion, and, as a result, are apt to be irritable, peevish, dispirited, and gloomy. The improvement of your digestive function should be your first object and study. Eat plain and easily digested but nutritious food; let the quantity be moderate ; masticate thoroughly ; talk, laugh, and enjoy at your meals, or at least try to be in a cheerful, thankful, happy mood; avoid a hurried feeling or an anxious state of mind; take plenty of exercise in the open air; have your rooms well ventilated; practice full, deep breathing and other chest-expanding exercises, as indirect but important helps to the stomach; and observe strictly all the laws of health. Correct this dyspeptic tendency by recreation rather than by stimulation. VII.-THE MOTIVE TEMPERAMENT. (7.) Very Strongly Developed.-The bony frame-work of your structure is strongly marked, and encased with only muscle enough to bind all firmly together; but what flesh you have is dense, tough, compact, and wiry. There is a tendency to angularity in your con- figuration. You love active, muscular -work, and are endowed with great physical power and capacity for severe and prolonged exertion of both body and mind. In character you are energetic, efficient, de- termined, and persistent. You are adapted to active life, and to such enterprises as will give your energy, steadfastness, and perseverance full and free scope. See also (6.) (6.) Strong.-Your configuration and character are like those de- scribed in (7), in a somewhat lower degree. You have strong feelings and passions, but are also endowed with a powerful will and strong common sense with which to hold them in check. The restraining and regulating powers of the mind-Firmness, Self-Esteem, Conscien- tiousness, and Cautiousness-must be kept in constant activity to keep your strong propensities within their proper sphere, for when they are bad, persons of your constitution are often very bad. You are capable of great things, but need strong self-government and restraint. (5.) Full.-You have a good share of motive power, and are vigor- ous, determined, and efficient. You are not afraid of work, or, for that matter, of anything else. Your tastes and abilities fit you for active life. See (6) and (7.) (4.) Average.-You are not deficient in motive power, but can not endure a long-continued strain upon either muscle or brain. You can work hard, but are not particularly fond of severe labor, preferring light or sedentary employments, and should cultivate muscular power and love of activity by such recreations and exercises as tend to de- velop bone and sinew. (3.) Moderately Developed.-You are deficient in the motive 13 PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. element of the constitution, lack strength for continuous exertion, and prefer sitting or lounging about to activity of any kind. Cultivate muscular power. (2.) Weak.-You are poorly endowed with muscular force, and the propelling and governing powers connected with the motive tempera' ment. You must give much attention to the cultivation of the motive apparatus. Walking, running, rowing, swimming, skating, and gym- nastics arc all good exercises, but must be adapted to your weak con- dition, and increased as you gain strength. Make yourself comfortably tired, but do not exhaust your small stock of energy and strength by too much exertion. VIII.-THE MENTAL TEMPERAMENT. (7.) Very Largely Developed.-You are delicate in structure, with small bones, a moderate development of muscle, finely cut fea- tures, and a high organic condition generally. Brain predominates over body, and your mental states have a powerful influence over your physical condition. You are refined in your tastes; quick and delicate in your perceptions; rapid in your mental operations; emotional, sym- pathetic, aspiring, earnest, eager, and easily excited. You are admir- ably adapted, so far as constitutional qualities are concerned, to literary or artistic pursuits. If a mechanic, a manufacturer, or a merchant, one of the lighter and more elegant branches in these departments would suit you best. See next section (6). (G.) A Large Development.-You are characterized as set forth in (7), only in a lower degree; are more inclined to mental than to animal enjoyments; fond of literature and art; ambitious, clear-headed, discriminating, quick-witted, intellectually efficient, rather brilliant, and calculated to lead in the higher walks of literature, art, or science, provided you have had the necessary mental culture. Stimulants of all kinds should be avoided, as well as too strong or long continued mental excitements. (5.) Fully Developed.-You are well endowed mentally, and cal- culated (with proper culture) to speak and write effectively, and to wield considerable influence in the realms of thought; being less sensi- tive and delicately organized than those in whom there is a larger pro- portional development of this temperament, you are better fitted to come into contact with people of all classes, and to control them by means of your superior mental development, backed by the vigor im- parted by a larger measure of vital and motive power. (4.) Average.-You have a fair degree of mental activity, and, with the advantages of education, are capable of attaining a position in in- tellectual society; but you arc better adapted to manual labor, mechan- ism, or to business than to the learned professions, so-called. (3.) Moderately Developed.-You have uoreal love for literature 14 or art, are not fond of study, and would be apt to fall asleep over a good book. You should cultivate a taste for reading. (2.) Poorly Developed.-You are dull in perception, and slow to comprehend even simple truths. Your judgment is poor, and you need the direction of minds more highly endowed. You should get sound advice, and follow it. DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. IX.-ACTIVITY. (7.) Very Great.-You are very agile, lithc-limbed, and quick- motioned, and your mental operations are equally rapid and facile. You are always wide-awake, eager, knowing, and brilliant. You are liable to overwork yourself and become prematurely exhausted. (6.) Great.-Yours is a restless, active, lively organization. You speak rapidly, comprehend quickly, and decide at once on the course to be pursued, and are in danger of excessive action, and consequent early exhaustion of the vital powers. (5) and (4.) Full or Average.-You have a fair degree of activity, but are likely to be sufficiently deliberate to weigh the pros and cons before deciding how to act; are not lazy, but prefer light work to heavy, and play to either. (3.) Moderate.-You are rather slow and deliberate in your move- ments, are seldom or never in a hurry, and always take plenty of time to consider. Your mental operations arc slow, and you are apt to see the point of a joke, if at all, after the laugh is over. Wake up! (2.) Small.-You are too slow to be of much service to yourself or anybody else-decidedly inert. Try to cultivate activity by pushing about. You should have some one " after you with a sharp stick." X.-EXCITABILITY. (7.) Very Great.-You are remarkably impressible, very easily ex- cited, subject to extremes of feeling; greatly exalted at one moment and much depressed the next; driven now this way and then that by constantly changing impulses ; and very much disposed to exaggerate everything, whether good or bad. Your need is to restrain this ex- citability, first, by avoiding all stimulating food and drink, and all un- natural or violent mental excitements; and, second, by cultivating a calm, quiet, enjoyable frame of mind. Repose is the proper antidote of too great activity. (6.) Great.-You are constituted as described in (7), only in a some- what lower degree-too susceptible to external influences for your own welfare or that of your friends. (5.) Fuel.-You are sufficiently susceptible to exciting causes, but not readily carried away by any sudden impulse; are self-possessed, and act coolly and with forethought. (4.) Average.-You are very cool, deliberate, and placid, and allow PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. 15 external influences to sway you but little-, act from judgment and not from impulse, and are very equable in disposition. (3.) Moderate.-You are rather dull, and can with difficulty be aroused by external causes; rather cold and passionless, and show little spirit in anything. You may with advantage put yourself in the way of social excitements, and profit by mixing much with wide- awake people. (2.) Low.-Yours is a torpid sort of existence. You seem to be half asleep, and might almost as well be quite so. Try to arouse yourselfj and seek society and the excitements of busy, active life. XL-SIZE OF BRAIN. (7.) Very Large.-If your organic quality be good and your ac- tivity sufficient, you should manifest extraordinary mental power; and if there be also a proper balance between the various groups of facul- ties, you are capable of taking a place in the first ranks, among the in- tellectual giants of the age. Such a mind, backed up by adequate physical stamina, will overcome all obstacles, and achieve greatness in spite of all difficulties. You may not have had your full powers called out, but the capacity is here. (G.) Large.-Yours is a mind of great reach anti power, and you can, if you will, make yourself widely felt in society. You arc capable of managing extensive enterprises, taking broad views of things, and of drawing correct conclusions from ascertained facts. If you are a scholar, you should be widely known and admired in the sphere of letters, and exert great influence wherever the supremacy of mind is acknowledged. Much, however, depends upon the tendencies im- pressed upon your character by the predominating group of organs, and your power may be a blessing or it may be a curse to yourself and to the world, according to the manner in which it is used. (5.) Full.-With the proper physiological conditions [14, et acq.], you are capable of accomplishing much, and attaining a high position in the direction of the leading faculties, acquiring an excellent education, and manifesting talent of a high order, but have not that commanding and all-conquering genius which can bend everything to its-will. (4.) Average.-With activity largely developed, and good bodily conditions, you are capable of manifesting good talent, and of suc- ceeding well in a business for which you are specially fitted. Out of this sphere your abilities would be commonplace and your success small. You are quick of perception, but neither original nor pro- found. (3.) Moderate.-You have sufficient brain, if conjoined with good organic quality and a fair share of activity, to give you a moderate degree of ability in practical matters, but little planning or directing talent You will do best when working under the direction of persons 16 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. better endowed than yourself with mental power. Strive to improve your intellect by means of reading, study, and the conversation of intelligent persons. (2.) Small.-You are weak in mind and need the guidance of other intellects in every undertaking ; are incapable of managing any business. n. MENTAL FACULTIES. XII.-AMATIVENESS. (7.) Very Large.-You possess in a pre-eminent degree the desire to love and to be loved; are irresistibly attracted by the opposite sex; and are capable of exerting a similar power over them. You are winning in your manners; very gentle and sympathetic, conforming to the tastes and wishes of the one beloved ; are devoted in your atten- tions; yearn continually tor the caresses and endearments of affection, and are made utterly miserable by coldness and indifference on the part of the beloved one. See (6.) With deficient coronal development, a low organic quality, or an inflamed state of the vital fluids, you would be very liable to the perversion of the procreative function, and to excesses ruinous to body and soul. If restraint be necessary, see I., 7. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You are as described in (7), but in a lower degree ; are very fond of personal beauty, and seek in the other sex good bodily development and a warm heart as well as intellectual capacity and moral worth. The love-element is a very influential one in your organization, and will affect powerfully, for good or for evil, your destiny in life,-for the fire that warms may also consume. Rightly controlled, and made subservient to moral principle, it will be a source of strength and happiness-a blessing to yourself and toothers; per- verted, it may lead to speedy and irretrievable ruin. Let your prayer be, " Lead us not into temptation !" If you are happily married, you are fortunate; if not, you should seek in matrimony, where alone it can be found, the satisfaction of your loving and yearning heart. Restrain. MENTAL FACULTIES. 17 (5.) Full.-You love the opposite sex with much tenderness; are somewhat ardent, but can control your desires; are very attentive toward those you love, honoring the other sex in a high degree and giving your confidence and esteem with your love. You are well calculated to enjoy the marriage relation. (4.) Average.-You may be warm and loving at times, but, in general, manifest only a fair degree of attachment to the other sex; can enjoy the marriage relation, but need to have your love called out and cherished by a loving companion; are likely to be refined and faithful in your affections and to honor as well as love your mate, if worthy and devoted to your happiness and welfare. (3.) Moderate.-You are rather cold and indifferent toward the other sex, manifesting more friendship and respect than love; but esteem and friendship may lead to warmer feelings toward a truly congenial companion ; so that while you might not find it dis- agreeable to live unmarried, you are capable, under favorable circum- stances, of being happier in the conjugal relation. With large Ideality, you would manifest more admiration than affection for the opposite sex. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You arc very indifferent toward the other sex, and have neither the desire nor the ability to win their love. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You arc almost entirely destitute of the love- element. Cultivate. (7.) Very Large.-All your love must, as a necessity of your nature, be concentrated upon one person of the opposite sex, who will be to you the embodiment of all that is good and lovely, and whose faults you will be ever ready to conceal or overlook; and you will require the same exclusive attachment in the chosen one. If fully satisfied in this respect, you will enjoy the marriage relation very highly. If still heart-free, you should be very careful to bestow your affections where they will be fully reciprocated, for any failure in this respect would be likely to affect very seriously your destiny in life. Restrain. (G.) Large.-You will require and seek but one intimate personal companion or mate, and arc liable to be made very miserable by dis- appointment in love. Where you truly love you must possess, and you should know no such word as "fail" in your " affairs of the heart." Being well mated, you will find your highest happiness in the society of the one you have chosen, all of whose virtues and attractions you will fully appreciate. You will tolerate almost anything in him or her except infidelity to the marriage relation. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You can love cordially and faithfully any person of the other sex upon whom your affections may be placed; but, if love be XIII.-CONJUGALITY. 18 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. interrupted, can change and become equally absorbed in a new love. You would not die of a broken heart were the beloved object removed by death or otherwise placed beyond your reach. (4.) Average.-You are inclined to a single love and to union for life to a chosen one; but can readily change the object of your affec- tions, and, with Adhesiveness small and Conscientiousness moderate, may be coquettish. Cultivate. (3.) Average.-You arc not particularly inclined to fickleness in love, and are disposed, under favorable circumstances, to union for life, but are liable to be led astray by new faces and to allow an old love to be supplanted by new ones. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You are inclined to the promiscuous society of the other sex and have little respect for the conjugal relation. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You manifest none of this faculty and experi- ence little of the feeling it imparts. Cultivate. XIV.-PARENTAL LOVE. (7.) Very Large.-Your love for children and pets is intense, and as a parent you would idolize your offspring and probably spoil them by pampering and hurtful indulgence, or by allowing them to rule instead of yielding obedience. If you have children, you suffer con- tinual anxiety on their account, especially when absent from them, and the death of one of them would be a blow almost too great to bear. Restrain. (6.) Large.-As a parent, you would be tender and indulgent, per- haps, to a fault, unless restrained by high moral considerations, and are too apt to overlook the faults and imperfections of your young favorites, whether your own children or those of your friends. You arc passionately fond of the society of the young, who are equally fond of you, and you will have groups of children clustering around you whenever you go among them. You must keep this faculty strictly under the control of moral principle, or it will lead to harm rather than good to the little ones you love so well. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You are capable of loving your own children well, and will do and sacrifice much for them, but will not be over-indulgent, and will feel no very strong attraction toward children generally, or toward animal pets. Cultivate. (4.) Average.-You will love your own children, but will carer little for those of others. If Benevolence be large, you will be tender toward the helpless infant, but will like children better as they grow older. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-You are rather indifferent even toward your own children, if you have any, and cold toward all others; can bear little from them, and are not calculated to win their affections. You care nothing for pets. Cultivate. MENTAL FACULTIES. 19 (2.) Small.-You are inclined to be cold and indifferent toward your own children, and to manifest a positive dislike for all others. You need to bring your Benevolence, Adhesiveness, and Conscientiousness to bear in your dealings with them as well as to assiduously cultivate Parental Love. (1.) Very Small.-You will manifest little or no love for children, but will be guided in your treatment of them by other faculties. Cultivate.' XV.-FRIENDSHIP. (7.) Very Large.-You are exceedingly warm-hearted, affectionate, and devoted; are ready to make any sacrifice for your friends; are blind to their defects and faults, and too much wrapped up in them for your own welfare or peace of mind. You should remember that even in friendship there may be an abnormal or perverted action-a mania, as it were-and keep your heart free from idolatry. Even your friends are human and have their weaknesses. Restrain. (G.) Large.-You are very social, warm-hearted, and affectionate, enjoy the society of your-friends in a high degree; cling to those you love through all changes of time and circumstance. Once a friend, you are one forever-in adversity as in prosperity-to aid, encourage, sympathize with, and console while living and to mourn when de- parted. You must be very careful in the choice of your friends, for you are liable to suffer much from the unworthiness and ingratitude of those to whom you may become attached. You are hospitable, and delight to entertain your friends at the social board; are very popular among those who know you; are generally beloved, and have few enemies. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You are friendly and companionable with those whom you deem worthy, but are not disposed to sacrifice too much in their behalf; are hospitable; cordial in your intercourse with those around you, and disposed to make friends; but your attachments are not always lasting, and you do not bind others to you by very strong bonds of affection ; neither are you likely to make many enemies. (4.) Average.-You can make friends, and are capable of consider- able affection for them under favorable circumstances, but will not be likely to mourn greatly over their absence. With large Acquisitive- ness, you will be apt to place business before friends, and make use of them to promote your interests, rather than to sacrifice your interests in their behalf. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-You form but few attachments, and manifest but a moderate degree of affection for any one. If you make friends, it is more likely to be through some other good qualities you may possess than through your social nature; and while you may be greatly re- spected and esteemed, you are not likely to be so generally loved. Cultivate. 20 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. (2.) Small.-You do not like society, and are cold and indifferent toward those around you; have neither the desire nor the ability to make friends, and possess little faith in friendship. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You seem to be utterly incapable of Reeling friendship, or awakening it in others. Cultivate. (7.) Very Large.-Your love of home and country is very strong indeed, and you are liable to the most terrible feeling of homesickness when absent from them.

Restrain. (6.) Large.-You are very strongly attached to home; love your native land with a pure devotion; leave your place of abode with great reluctance, and are homesick and miserable if compelled to remain long away from it. You would not like the life of a Methodist itiner- ant, who changes his house so often. You become strongly attached to any place where you may reside; desire above almost everything else a home of your own, and when you have one, can scarcely be per- suaded to leave it for a day.

Full-You manifest considerable attachment to home and country; prefer to live in one place, and surround yourself with the comforts of domestic life; feel some regret in leaving the place of your birth, or of long residence, but can easily change if circumstances require it; and are not likely to get homesick even if compelled to re- main absent for a long time. (4.) Average.-You have some love for home, but can change your place of abode without much regret, and are not inclined to expend much time or money in improvements, or in surrounding yourself with home comforts. You are never homesick, and if Locality be full or large, are fond of traveling. Cultivate. (3) or (2.) Moderate or Small.-You care little for home or country; are cosmopolitan in your tastes, and indifferent about places. You like to travel, and, with Continuity small, enjoy constant change of scene.

All sudden changes are distasteful to you, and there is a tendency to a monotonous sameness in everything you do. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You have great capacity for following out a train of thought and concentrating all your faculties upon one subject, and are noted for thoroughness in your studies, or in working out the details of any plan you have to execute.

In talking or writing you are liable, unless you take pains to guard yourself against it, to become prolix and tedious; tell long stories; are sometimes absent-minded ; very persistent and steady in any course of action de- termined upon, and have no patience with fickleness or sudden changes of plan.

Average.-You can concentrate your thoughts upon one thing, and dwell upon it till fully elaborated, or you can readily divert your attention to other matters; prefer to do one thing at a time, but can have several irons in the fire at once, and attend to them all; are capa- ble of consecutive thinking, but never tedious, and generally talk or write to the point. (3.) Moderate.-You love variety; change readily from one thing to another; commence many things that you never finish; think clearly, perhaps, but not always consecutively; lack connectedness and application, and should aim at more fixedness of mind and steadi- ness of character. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You are inclined to be very rambling and incoherent; very ready to begin, but having too little perseverance to finish; fly rapidly from one thing to another, and no one ever knows where to find you, or in what mood to receive you. You talk about several things at once, and the listener is seldom much wiser for the information you seek to impart. You should have been a butterfly. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You are made up of change and restlessness, and are never the same two minutes at a time. Cultivate. XVIII.-VITATIVENESS. (7) Very Large.-You have an astonishingly tenacious hold upon life; resist disease with the utmost determination, and will die at last 22 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. only after a protracted struggle. Your dread of the final change to which all mortals are subject is too great, and you should learn to look at it through the medium of religious faith rather than that of animal instinct. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You cling to life with great tenacity, and shrink from death as if it were annihilation. Your power to resist disease is such that you will " never say die," and will recover under circumstances which would preclude hope in the case of any one less largely en- dowed with Vitativeness. You will not be likely to " die before your time," unless by accident; but should learn to fear death less, through faith in the life to come. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You love life, and are disposed to cling to it with te- nacity; can resist disease with considerable power; but have no great dread of death, especially if Hope and Spirituality be full or large, and if your Christian philosophy be correct on this subject. (4.) Average.-Your love of life is fair, and you are not disposed to yield unresistingly to the encroachments of disease, but have less power to resist sickness and death than one more largely developed in the region of Vitativeness. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-Yo.ur hold of life is not very strong; you care comparatively little for existence, for its own sake, but like to live on account of family or friends, or with a view to do good in the world, and will yield without any great or prolonged resistance to the attacks of disease. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You have little dread of death; no great power to re- sist disease, and care to live rather for the sake of others than from any love of life for its own sake. You would be likely to soon sink under the attacks of any serious disease. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You have little if any desire to live merely for the sake of life itself, but value existence only as an opportunity to gratify the other faculties. You should try to appreciate more fully the value of life and health, and your duty in regard to their preservation and enjoyment. Cultivate. XIX.-COMBATIVENESS. (7.)

You may consider yourself happily endowed in respect to this element of character. (4.) Average.-Your manifestation of courage and energy will de- pend in a measure upon circumstances. You can be aroused to the manifestation of a good degree of combative spirit, and with large Conscientiousness, Firmness, Self-Esteem, and Approbativeness to back up Combativeness, may stand your ground resolutely and strike boldly in a good cause; but with these organs moderate or small, and Cautiousness large, would be at times irresolute, or even cowardly.

Very Small.-You are as described in (2), only in a lower degree. Have no prudence. Cultivate. XXVI.-APPROBATIVENESS. (7.) Very Large.-You are exceedingly sensitive to praise or blame; cate too much for public opinion; are mortified by censure and greatly elated by words of commendation ; are ambitious of notoriety, distinction, or respectability; and are liable, if this faculty be not kept under good control, to be ostentatious and vain. You are obsequious where courtesy only is required. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You are fond of praise and easily wounded by a word of censure or criticism; are too anxious to please others, too ambitious to shine, and too much alive to the smiles or frowns of the pujblic for your own peace of mind. You are polite and courteous in the extreme, and unless Conscientiousness be large may sometimes be false to truth and duty for the sake of being agreeable, or be guided too much in What you say and do by the consideration of what others may think or say of you. Self-Esteem and Conscientiousness should be exercised against your too great susceptibility to the influence of public opinion. No matter what " Mrs. Grundy" may say. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You have a good degree of respect for the opinions of others; value praise, but will not sacrifice self-respect or principle to gain it; can endure censure when administered in a proper spirit; like to appear well, but are not over-anxious about appearances; with large Cautiousness value character highly; are courteous but not obsequi- ous ; and have a fine degree of ambition.

Very Large.-You are very dignified, haughty, imperious, domineering, proud, high-headed, and stiff-necked; place self above everything else; are ambitious and aspiring in the highest degree; and unless restrained by other strong faculties are liable to be self-conceited, supercilious, and repulsively pompous and overbearing. Veneration should be made, as far as possible, to off-set your self-sufficiency. Too much dignity is a defect and offensive ? Restrain. (6.) Large.-You think quite highly enough of your own abilities; are very self-reliant; are proud and dignified; seldom ask advice, and nnwi fijlhuiv if* niliow gimn-, will not stoop even to conquer; aim high; are not satisfied with moderate success or with a small business; desire to surpass all others-to stand at the head of your class or pro- fession ; and with Hope full or large, " know no such word as fail." With large moral organs, you will command universal respect; but if governed by the propensities, will be egotistical, haughty, domineering, and rather feared and hated than esteemed. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You evince a good degree of self-respect, dignity, and aspiration, but are not proud, overbearing, or greedy of power; are disposed to listen to advice though you may seldom follow it; and prefer the place of a leader to that of a follower. Respecting yourself, you will secure the respect of your fellow-men. (4.) Average.-Your manifestation of this faculty will depend mainly upon its combination with those that are larger, but you are in- clined, in the main, to place about a fair estimate upon yourself and to act with a becoming degree of ambition, dignity, and self-reliance. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-You are rather humble than proud; underrate your own abilities and worth; lack dignity and self-assertion; allow your inferiors to take leading positions which of right belong to your- self ; are apt to put yourself upon an equality with the unworthy, and to do trifling or mean things of which you are afterward ashamed; 30 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. lack dignity; and are too familiar with inferiors to be respected even by them. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You lack self-appreciation, dignity, and independence; are too humble; easily discouraged; have too poor an opinion of yourself to command the respect of the world. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You seem to be nearly destitute of this faculty. Cultivate. XXVIII.-FIRMNESS. (7.) Very Large.-You can not be driven, and are not easily per- suaded ; are sometimes disposed to be obstinate; have an unshaken stability of purpose; are very persevering, tenacious, and averse to change; and sometimes defeat your own purposes by too great self- will. One often gains a great deal by yielding a little. Try to be more pliant. Restrain. (6.) Large.-With moral principles, you would be steadfast and reli- able ; can not be driven; are not easily convinced that you are wrong; generally carry your point by persistent effort; are very determined and positive; set in your way; sometimes willful, if not obstinate. With large Causality you may yield to reason, or with large Adhe- siveness be persuaded by friends; but with Combativeness and Firm- ness well developed, adhere tenaciously to preconceived opinions, right or wrong, and never change a plan once adopted. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You manifest a good degree of stability, determination, and perseverance, but are not set in your way or obstinate, and can change your opinions or purposes when they are shown to be erroneous or impracticable. Under the influence of large Cautiousness, you may evince irresolution and procrastination; but with Conscientiousness well developed, can not be turned from what you think truth and right require of you. You are more easily persuaded than driven. Cul- tivate. (4.) Average.-You have hardly enough stability and fixedness of purpose, and unless this faculty be supported by full or large Com- bativeness, Conscientiousness, or Causality, will be too easily influenced by those around you, and too ready to abandon your positions if attacked. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-You are too much inclined to change; too easily persuaded; lack steadfastness; are prone to say " I can't;" are often irresolute, and inclined to go with the current. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You are unstable and wavering; fitful, impulsive, and fickle; have no will of your own, and are liable to be constantly the victim of circumstances. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You are a perfect weather vane, changing with the slightest variation of surrounding circumstances. Try to hold yourself at a point. Cultivate. MENTAL FACULTIES. 31 XXIX.-CONSCIENTIOUSNESS. (7.) Very Large.-You are governed by moral principle ; are scrupulously exact in matters of right; perfectly honest; very ready to accuse yourself and to repent of any wrong; are inclined to be censorious; make too little allowance for the weakness and imperfec- tion of human nature; are exacting of friends; set up a very high standard of morality, and are tormented by remorse if you go astray from the narrow path you have prescribed for yourself. You are liable, unless the faculty be controlled, to become morbidly sensitive in matters of conscience. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You are disposed to be strictly honest and upright in all your dealings; hate whatever is unjust or contrary to your ideas of right; feel very guilty when conscious of having done wrong; are very severe in your reproofs of wrong-doing, but will forgive those who show repentance. You always consult duty before expediency; seek to know what is right, and then pursue it with singleness of heart; but with a false education may do conscientiously, and in the belief that it is right, what is really wrong; or with strong propensities may be led astray, but will quickly repent and seek to reform. You are per- haps inclined to be over-penitent and self-accusing as well as too exacting and censorious in regard to others. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You have strong feelings of justice and are honest and upright in all your intentions, but may yield to the influence of stronger faculties against your conscientious scruples. You give expediency some weight, but are never wholly satisfied with yourself unless walk- ing in the path of rectitude. Duty is generally uppermost in your mind, but is not always the governing motive in your conduct. You do not always resist temptation, and often sin, but as often repent with sorrow and regret. Cultivate. (4.) Average.-You are inclined to do what is right and to be guided by moral principle, but have not always the strength to resist the temptations held out by stronger faculties, and when you do wrong are inclined to justify yourself. You are too often governed in your conduct by expediency rather than by considerations of duty or moral right. With large propensities and moderate Self-Esteem, Veneration, and Spirituality, you may manifest much selfishness and but a weak sense of duty, honor, or honesty; but with these conditions reversed will be honorable and trustworthy under ordinary tempta- tions. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-Your ideas of right and wrong are rather feeble, and you are inclined to allow interest rather than duty to rule; but may be restrained by Approbativeness or Cautiousness from dishonest or dishonorable actions. Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You have fbw scruples of conscience, and do right as a matter of expediency or through fear of the consequences of an 32 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. opposite course, rather than from moral principle; are governed by expediency. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You are almost entirely destitute of moral principle. Cutamte. XXX.-HOPE. (7.) Very Large. - Your expectations are almost unbounded. Everything desirable seems attainable; you build castles in the air; have many ships at sea, all of which you think sure to come in loaded with treasures; and, living in the future, which is always bright, you are generally joyous, sanguine, and happy. You are constantly dis- appointed ; never realize half that you expect; and spend your life in a world of brilliant illusions. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You are inclined to overrate the future; look on the bright side of things; overlook obstacles and evils; attempt much more than you can accomplish; console yourself when disappointed by the anticipation of better fortune next time ; are a firm believer in " the good time coming;" are sanguine, buoyant, and joyous; never despair; " hope on, hope ever;" live in the future more than in the present; are liable to be led into extravagant expenditures and exten- sive speculations on the most delusive grounds and with disastrous results. Restrain. (5.) Full.-Your expectations are generally reasonable; you are sanguine and enterprising; often realize more than you expect. You are not much inclined to castle building, and " when your ships come home from sea " anticipate only ordinary cargoes; are neither despond- ing nor too much elated. (4.) Average.-You are inclined to expect and to attempt too little rather than too much ; get too easily discouraged by the obstacles you encounter, some of them imaginary: look on the dark side at times, and are disposed to be satisfied with the present instead of looking forward to the future; generally count the cost and make safe invest- ments. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-You are very moderate in your expectations of the future; inclined to despondency; often look on the dark side; lack enterprise, and are afraid to attempt any great enterprise; make sure gains, but small ones; live in the present and have more fear than hope for the future.

Small.-You expect little from the future but misfortune; see so many obstacles and discouragements ahead that you dare attempt very little; are very liable to become despondent and melancholy. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You expect little or nothing that i? desirable, and undertake nothing for fear of loss. Cultivate. MENTAL FACULTIES. 33 XXXI.-SPIRITUALITY. (7.) Vert Large.-You have strong intuitive perceptions of what is tight and best; have faith in spiritual monitions ; and are most likely to take the true course when you allow yourself to be guided by what you internally feel to be the right way. A morbid or undue action of this faculty may lead you to become superstitious; to blindly believe in dreams, omens, fortune-telling, and false prophecies, or to induce religious fanaticism. It must be properly regulated, and made to act in harmony with reason, though it may transcend it. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You have a large measure of faith; an internal con- sciousness of right, duty, truth, falsehood, and what is best; love to meditate on spiritual subjects-the immortality of the soul, the future life, the existence and perfections of God, and the destiny of man; enjoy spiritual communion, or the blending of soul with soul; and, if Veneration be large, find ecstatic happiness in fervent adoration of the Deity. In certain states of the physical system, one may be natur- ally clairvoyant; be forewarned in visions or in dreams; perceive the highest truths by intuition, and even possess prophetic gifts. One must carefully guard against the perversion of this noble and exalted faculty (see 7), and not allow our living faith to degenerate into superstition, or our piety to become mere fanaticism. Restrain. (5.) Full.-You are not lacking in the ground-work of faith ; have a good share of spiritual feeling, and considerable intuitive inspiration; but do not always allow yourself to be guided by the premonitions which would lead you aright. You desire to believe in all truth, but are sometimes beset by doubts. Cultivate. (4.) Average.-You are not destitute of the light within; have some spiritual monitions, and are not inclined to disregard the guidance of the internal sense; but your intuitions are not always sufficiently distinct to insure their full influence, or your belief in their authority so implicit as to make them very potential in your life. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate-The spiritual part of your nature is not so influen- tial as would be desirable; you have rather indistinct perceptions of spiritual things; lack faith; believe little that can not be logically proved; rely on evidence rather than on intuition; and would "prove all things " in order to " hold fast that which is good." Cultivate. (2.) Small.-You have very weak perceptions of spiritual truths; must have proof before believing; are not guided by faith-a doubting Thomas; have no premonitions or warnings, and do not believe in. them. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You arc nearly destitute of the spiritual senti- ment-believe little or nothing; are skeptical in regard to a future life ; ridicule the idea of revelations from Heaven, and treat premonitions and warnings with contempt. Cultivate. 34 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. (7.) Very Large.-You are eminently respectful, deferential, and inclined to be religious, prayerful, and devoted to the worship of God; circumstances favoring, you would manifest extreme fervor in your petitions before the throne of Grace; evince great reverence for time- honored usages, forms, ceremonies, and institutions; and are pro- foundly respectful toward the aged, the good, or the great. Restrain. (6.) Large.-You are, by organization, strongly inclined to worship; take great delight in religious exercises; are fervent in prayer; feel awed in the presence of the great; are very deferential toward the aged; naturally conservative in your views; reverence ancient forms and ceremonies; are inclined to adhere to long-established customs and to admire the '' good old ways." You have need to beware of the perversion of this faculty, leading to religious bigotry, slavish fear, and the domination of a blind impulse. Carefully direct, if not Restrain. (5.) Full.-You are not lacking in devotion, respect for superiors, reverence for age, or a fair degree of conservative feeling in reference to established institutions; but these emotions are greatly influenced by circumstances, and are strongly or weakly manifested accordingly as they are incited or restrained by other faculties. There may often be an internal conflict in you between the worldly and the spiritual. (4.) Average.-You are inclined to worship when the devotional feeling is specially called out, but are apt to make religion subservient to business or to whatever else may be your dominant tendency. Acting with Conscientiousness and Benevolence, your Veneration will dispose you to make justice, mercy, and good works the basis of your religion, while the rites of worship will be esteemed less important. Cultivate. (3.) Moderate.-If you are religious, it is probably because your education has been favorable to it, and were fortunate enough to have been brought up under religious influences; but your religion is one of works rather than of humility, submission, and faith. You have little respect for customs or institutions merely on account of their antiquity, and no reverence for creeds, rites, and ceremonies. Culti- vate. (2.) Small.-You experience little devotional feeling, and are de- ficient in reverence for age and respect for superiors. Cultivate. (1.) Very Small.-You seem to be nearly destitute of reverence and respect, and have no devotional feeling. Cultivate. XXXII.-VENERATION. (7.)

Large.-You are very tender, generous, and kind-hearted; ready to sympathize with suffering and to relieve want, to the extent of your means; prefer to suffer yourself rather than to see others suffer; are charitable, forgiving, and merciful; a " good Samaritan," and, in this respect, a true follower of Him who " went about doing good." (5.) Full.-You are kind and obliging; like to see others happy, and desire to make them so; but will not overtax yourself to relieve your neighbors of their burdens, and may allow selfish feeling to over- rule your kindness.

Restrain. (6.) Large.-You have great taste and talent for mechanical pur- suits ; delight in building, repairing, and employing machinery; with large Imitation, can make anything after a pattern-anything, in fact, that you have seen made; and with large Causality, are strongly inclined to invent and to contrive new ways of doing things.

Very Small.-You are nearly destitute of this faculty. Culti- vate. 38 DELINEATION OF CHARACTER. (7.) Very Large.-You are capable of becoming a consummate mimic; could make almost anything from pattern; have a taste and talent for acting and of representing life to the letter. It would be natural for you to make use of many gestures when speaking; impart great expression to your countenance when animated; and with large Mirthfulness can relate anecdotes to the very life, and keep a company in a roar of laughter by your droll personations.

We regard Tune as a faculty of the human mind, created for a useful purpose, and not to be ignored or suppressed because of its abuse, any more than that of the appetite, or of Veneration itself, which is sometimes exercised on idols, images, and gods of wood and stone. The right use of all the faculties will be acceptable to Him who created them. MENTAL FACULTIES. 47 (7.) Very Large.-You should be noted for originality, planning capacity, intuitive perception of the relations of cause and effect, and great reasoning power and comprehension.

With large Language, Continuity, Constructiveness, and Ideality, should write and speak with great fluency, correctness, and elegance, and in a style dis- tinguished for clearness as well as for beauty; but with these organs moderate or small, there will be a liability to broken metaphors and imperfect and confusing comparisons.

FIRST PRINCIPLES: OR, OUTLINES OF PHRENOLOGY, rpHE brain is the organ of the mind; according to its size, quality, health, culture, and developments will there bo mental manifestation. Heart, lungs, sto- mach, hands, feet, eyes, ears, etc., perform separate and special functions; so, different parts of the brain are allotted to different functions. The forehead is the seat of In- tellect-the knowing faculties; the lower back-head, of the Affections; the side- head, of the executive, propelling, constructive, and economical powers; the t<i/>. head, of the moral, spiritual, and religious Sentiments. And all these are subrlL Tided, as seen in the pictorial head. Between these skulls 'a marked dif- ference in form will be observed. The male skull is broad and heavy at the sides, showing force; and high at the crown, indicating pride, positiveness, and determination. The relatively long back-head of the female indicates the maternal and affectionate dispositions. By the Temperaments are understood the states of the body and mind with respect to the predominance of different qualities. They are divided into (1st) Motive or muscular, (2d) Vital or nutritive, (3d) Mental or thinking, instead of Nervous, Bilious, Lymphatic, and Sanguine. Those who have the Motive temperament are powerful, tough, enduring, fond of pursuits which require energy and author- ity. Those who have the Vital are fond of pleasure, enjoy good living, active oc- cupation, and social life. The Mental tem- perament gives sensitiveness, mental ac- tivity, desire to think and study; and the moral feelings and refining sentiments are generally well marked in those who have this temperament in predominance. When the temperaments are combined in equal or nearly equal proportions, th* person is by nature adapted to study, labor, or to business of any kind. JHE OBSERVER. THE PHILOSOPHER brain exposed.

The deep chest, rounded face, and glowing coun- tenance of Whitefield indicate the Vital temperament; and he was known for ardor, strong affection, and impassioned eloquence. The large top-head of Melanc- thon indicates a predominance of the Mental temperament, which gives a tendency to thought, phi- losophy, moral sentiment, and an appreciation of the beautiful and esthetical.

Vice-President, Jessie A. Fowler. Secretary, Henry S. Drayton, M.D. In order to deepen the interest in Phrenology it has been decided to broaden the avenues of the Institute, opening its doors to those interested in the science, ou the following terms : I. A free copy of The Phrenological Journal. II. Use of the circulating library, containing a valuable collection of books for the study of anthropology. III. Admission to all the incidental lectures of the Institute, not including the regular annual course. Fee for the foregoing, $2.50 annually. DEGREES OF FELLOWSHIP. All graduates of the In stitute, in addition to the regular diploma, will have opportunity to work for a certificate of merit at the close of the annua! session, which will constitute them Fellows, the fee for which will be five dollars. BACHELOR DEGREE. Any member of the Alumni of the Institute will be permitted to take a course of special instruction, and critical examination in theoretical and practical Phrenology, following the regular annual course, with a view of obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Phrenology (B Phr). Those who win this degree will bear the proof of careful study and ad- vanced attainment. A NEW AND SEPARATE feature is the opportunity now offered to persons at a distance to take lessons by mail This has been a boon to many students in all parts of the world afforded by the Fowler Institute in London, and similar facilities will now be extended by the American Institute of Phrenology. This course will not entitle a student to a diploma or certificate of fellowship. Many persons engaged in business cannot afford the solid time to attend a course, and others can hardly afford long-distance traveling, who might gladly avail themselves of this course.
