The present volume is designed to exhibit the subject of Practical Phrenology in as clear and as perspicuous a light as its nature will admit. To this purpose the author has aimed to divest it of all extraneous matter, and at the same time to avoid all unnecessary conciseness. The learner will here find a comprehensive view of the functions of each organ, with their different effects on the character when in various stages of developement, and also when compounded with each other. The author presents few claims to originality. In a few instances he has even adopted the language of others where it presented itself in a felicitous manner--his aim being to make a good book rather than to add to his own reputation. It is but proper here to state that the work has passed through the press without the benefit of the author’s personal inspection--an affection of the eyes rendering this service impossible. But for this it might have received many _retouches_, which, if they did not add materially to its _value_, might have improved its appearance. DOMESTIC PROPENSITIES. 1. AMATIVENESS. This organ produces the sexual passion, and imparts to its possessor a desire for the happiness of the opposite sex. In society it does much to promote general kindliness of feeling, and urbanity of manners. Predominant.--One in whom this organ predominates, will incline to be libidinous, licentious and lustful. If his moral organs are very large, particularly Firmness and Conscientiousness, he may restrain the outward expression of this feeling; but it will, nevertheless, be powerful, and at times overwhelming. If long deprived of the society of the other sex, he will feel lonesome and disconsolate.
