Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Self-Instructor in Phrenology and Physiology: With Over One Hundred New Engravings
When an organ is half way between two sizes, it is represented by two figures, as 5 to 6, or 3 to 4, etc., which is equivalent to 5t or In these cases both sentences referred to may be read, and a medium between the two will be appropriate.
The sign plus, signifies about one third of a degree more, and minus, one third of a degree less, than the marks indicate, thus giving virtually a scale of twenty-one degrees.
Several persons can be marked on one table by using a dot for one, and dashes, horizontal, perpendicular, slanting to the right, left, etc., for each of the others.
These organs and conditions marked 7, or very large, are sovereign in their in?uence over character and conduct, and, combining with those marked large, direct and control feeling and action. Those marked 6, or large, have a powerful and almost controlling in?uence, both singly, and especially in combination, and press the smaller ones into their service. Those marked 5, or full, play subordinate parts, yet their in?uence is considerable, though more potential than appa rent. Those marked 4, or average, have only a medium in?uence, and mainly in combination with larger ones. Those marked 3, or moderate, are below par in fact, and still more so in appearance exert but a subordinate in?uence, and leave character defective in these respects. Those marked 2, or small, are deficient, so much so as easily to be perceived; leave their possessor weak and faulty in these respects, and should be assiduously cultivated; while those marked 1 are very small, and render their possessor almost idiotic in these respects.
