Moderate.--With Form moderate, and the Reflecting organs large, one
will never notice the shapes of substances, until something particular
enforces his attention. He will then require considerable examination
to enable him to recognise them afterwards. His recollection of persons
and things will usually be confused and indistinct. With Individuality
large, observes much, and with tolerable distinctness; but with
Individuality small, is heedless and inattentive.
Small.--With Form small, a person will be unable to recollect the
countenances of persons even with whom he is intimate. He will be apt
to miscall words in reading. He will find it difficult to decipher
obscure handwriting. It will also be difficult, if not impossible, for
him to make much progress in the natural sciences.
3. SIZE.
This organ gives the idea of space, and the power of judging the
relative dimensions of objects; it also gives the ability to judge of
distances or of lineal space.
Predominant.--With Size predominant, one’s perceptions of the
dimensions of objects will be singularly accurate, he will be enabled
to tell at a mere glance the dimensions of a room, the length and
relative distances of objects, the centre of a circle, and to perform
any other action requiring the exercise of this organ.
Large.--With Size large, one will possess all the attributes ascribed
to Size predominant, but in a minor degree.
Moderate.--With Size but moderate, and without having been accustomed
to the exercise of the organ, one will greatly err in judging of the
dimensions of objects and size generally.
Small.--With Size small, one will be signally deficient in all the
qualities ascribed to this organ.
4. WEIGHT.
The office of this organ is to impart to its possessor the idea of the
power of gravity, or of mechanical force and resistance. It gives great
ability to judge of momentum, and is large in the heads of all those
who excel in fencing, boxing, archery, skating, quoit playing, &c.
Predominant.--With Weight predominant, one will be remarkable for his
power in the use of this faculty. In performing gymnastic feats, in
balancing, riding a fractious horse, and in every other exercise that
requires a display of agility he will be pre-eminently conspicuous.
Large.--With Weight and Self-esteem large, one can easily adapt himself
to the laws of gravity, will never fall in precarious situations, can
go aloft at sea in the most intrepid manner, and readily perform any
operation requiring the exercise of this endowment.
Moderate.--With Weight but moderate, one will be rather deficient
in the qualities ascribed to the functions of this organ, but with
practice, may attain considerable skill and success in the arts to
which it conduces.
