undertakings and not pursue them long enough to obtain his ends. If
Conscientiousness and Veneration be large, he may be induced to give
money to religious purposes. If Ideality and Veneration are large, he
will be likely to hoard antiquities, medals, &c. With large Intellect,
he will take great pleasure in accumulating a library. If Ideality
and Love of Approbation are small, he will care little for the beauty
of the binding or the neatness of the type; but with Ideality large,
he will spend money freely for these luxuries. With Perceptive organs
large, will be a good judge of property, &c.
Moderate.--With moderate Acquisitiveness, Self-esteem and Love of
Approbation, a person may be close and economical in his dealings, be
shrewd, enterprising and industrious, may make and accumulate money,
but he will often spend it unnecessarily. With every desire, as he
supposes, to save, yet he will find at the end of the year that he has
expended much that he might have saved. If Alimentiveness is large,
he will be unable to deny himself the pleasures of the table. If
Adhesiveness is large, he will spend money freely for the gratification
of his friends. If Benevolence is large, he will give much to objects
of charity. He will look upon money as the means of enjoyment, and not
as the end of human exertion.
Small.--A person in whom Acquisitiveness is small, will be unable to
understand the value of money, or to take pleasure in its acquisition,
and unless restrained by the influence of the moral feelings, will be a
spendthrift.
5. ALIMENTIVENESS.
This organ imparts the relish for food and drink. Its activity is
increased when the person is engaged in eating or drinking.
Predominant.--One in whom this organ is predominant, will be greatly
addicted to the pleasures of the table, will eat voraciously, and will
consider gustatory enjoyments one of the chief pleasures of existence.
