Moderate.--With Calculation moderate, and in a situation which
constantly demands the act of ready calculation, one may become highly
talented in this respect. He will, however, require time and effort
to go through an intricate operation. If Causality and Comparison are
large, in ordinary circumstances he will accustom himself to the use of
a slate and pencil for all operations of a complicated character.
Small.--With Calculation small, one can succeed in arithmetical
calculations only by dint of great labour, and then only to a limited
extent. If Causality and Comparison are large, he may be capable of
the higher branches of mathematics, but the difficulty, which his
arithmetical calculations cost him, will render him averse to all
mathematical speculations.
8. LOCALITY.
This organ gives the power of noticing and recollecting the peculiar
position of objects, and gives a desire for travelling, and for the
study of geography. It is essential to the scene painter. It strongly
aids the power of association.
Predominant.--With Locality predominant, one will have an insatiable
desire for travelling, roving about, and for visiting strange places,
will readily recollect their peculiar position, the localities of the
prominent objects of attention, and will be excessively fond of reading
geography and works of travels.
Large.--With Locality large, one will have a great desire for
travelling; and with Acquisitiveness and Inhabitiveness moderate or
small, will be prompted to roam about regardless of expense, or of
family considerations. In visiting strange places, he readily notices
their peculiar localities, and will ever after recollect them. He will
be excessively fond of studying geography, and works of travels; and
will be enabled to point out the particular position of a sentence in
a book or newspaper containing an idea to which he wishes to direct
attention. He will never stumble in the dark, and will find his way
with little instruction through unfrequented places.
Moderate.--With Locality but moderate, one will have but little desire
for travelling, and will be nearly regardless of the localities of
the places which he visits. He will often lose his way in forests and
cities, with which he is not familiar, and will seldom find a place
if obscurely situated without great trouble. With Individuality and
Ideality large, will have a fine taste for natural scenery, but his
descriptions will be vague and unsatisfactory in consequence of his
inability to point out the particular localities of the different
objects.
Small.--With Locality small, one will be extremely unobservant of, and
inattentive to the localities of objects. He will often lose his way
even in places with which he is familiar, and will be nearly wanting in
the attributes ascribed to this organ.
