The Faculties are divided into _Instinctive Propensities and Sentiments_ and _Intellectual Faculties_. The Instinctive Propensities and Sentiments are subdivided into _Domestic Affections_, embracing Amativeness, Philoprogenitiveness, Inhabitiveness, and Attachment--_Preservative Faculties_, embracing Combativeness, Destructiveness, and Gustativeness--_Prudential Sentiments_, embracing Acquisitiveness, Secretiveness, and Cautionness--_Regulating Powers_, including Self-Esteem, Love of Approbation, Conscientiousness, and Firmness--_Imaginative Faculties_, containing Hope, Ideality, and Marvellousness--and _Moral Sentiments_, under which head come Benevolence, Veneration, and Imitation. The _Intellectual Faculties_ are divided into _Observing Faculties_, viz: Individuality, Form, Size, Weight, Color, Order, and Number--_Scientific Faculties_, viz: Constructiveness, Locality, Time, and Tune--_Reflecting Faculties_, viz: Eventuality, Comparison, Casuality and Wit--and lastly, the _Subservient Faculty_, which is Language. This classification is arranged with sufficient clearness, but it would require no great degree of acumen to show that to mere perspicuity points of vital importance to the science have been sacrificed. At page 17 is a brief chapter entitled a _Survey of Contour_, well conceived and well adapted to its purpose which is--to convey by a casual or superficial view of any head, an idea of what propensities, sentiments, or faculties, most distinguish the individual. It is here remarked that "any faculty may be possessed in perfection without showing itself in a prominence or bump," (a fact not often attended to) "it is only where _one_ organ predominates above those nearest to it, that it becomes singly perceptible. Where a number of contiguous organs are large, there will be a general fulness of that part of the head." Some passages in Mrs. Miles' little book have a very peculiar interest. At page 26 we find what follows. "The cerebral organs are double, and inhabit both sides of the head, from the root of the nose to the middle of the neck at the nape. They act in unison, and produce a single impression, as from the double organs of sight and hearing. The loss of one eye does not destroy vision. The deafness of one ear does not wholly deprive us of hearing. In the same manner Tiedman reports the case of a madman, whose disease was confined to one side of his head, the patient having the power to perceive his own malady, with the unimpaired faculties of the other side. It is no uncommon thing to find persons acute on all subjects save _one_--thus proving the possibility of a partial injury of the brain, or the hypothesis of a plurality of organs."
