20. Afirtlifulness, or Wit. Spurzheim regards this faculty as affective, not as intellectual, in which view it is considered by Gall, and by the principal phrenologists of the Edinburgh aohool. Ile described it as a sentiment which disposes men to view everything in a gay or joyful manner, and which, according to its various applications in different circumstances, and its modifications by being variously combined with other faculties, produces wit, good humour, caricature, mockery, irony, sarcasms, epigrams, and satires. Its organ is situated in the upper and Lateral part of the forehead, and in the earlier Edinburgh casts is marked 32.
21. Imitation. These who have this faculty highly developed are fond of acting, and of imitating the gestures, voices, manners, and in general all the manifestations of man and animals. It is generally more active in children than in adults; the former always learn a great deal by imitation ; of the latter, some only employ it much, and these are usually marked by the gestures with which they speak, Imi tating the habits and manners of whatever forms the subject of their conversation. Its organ is situated at the front of the head, and on each side of benevolence.
22. Individuality is, in Spurzheim'a arrangement, tho first of those Intellectual faculties which perceive the existence of external objects and their physical qualities. It is the faculty which recognises the existence of individual beings. It is this, also, which in excess induces men to personify everything of which they speak, whether mere qualities or abstract ideas, or even phenomena, such as motion, life, the passions, &c. Its organ is situated behind the root of tho nose, and its greater development enlarges the forehead between tho eyebrows.
23. Configuration, or Form, is the power which takes co,snlsance of forms and figures generally. One of its peculiar applications, and that by which its organ was first discovered by Dr. Gall, is observed in the power which some individuals possess of remembering the forms and features of different persons; another is shown in the love of portraits, or in the ability to take the likenesses of persons and things. Its organ is situated in the internal angle of the orbit, and when large it the eyeball outwards and downwards, giving the person in whom it is thus developed a somewhat squinting appearance, and making his eyes appear unusually wide apart.
24. Size. This is the faculty which measures the size of bodies, as distinguished from their form, which is appreciated by the preceding power. Its organ is placed at tho inner corner of the arch of the
eyebrow.
25. Weight. It is believed that the mind estimates the weight and resistance, as well as many of the other qualities of bodies, not by tho sense of feeling, but by a peculiar internal operation, which must require a special organ. Dr. Spurzheim conjectures that its situation is the orbit, in the neighbourhood of configuration and size.
26. Colouring. There appears to be a peculiar faculty for the full apprettation of the relations of colour. For though few are incapable of perceiving the differences of colour in the objects around them, yet all have not the same power in this respect, nor have all the same facility in recollecting or judging of their relations. Many artists who draw well cannot colour ; others are geed colourists, but cannot imitate or design forms. The organ of this power, which must from these and other similar circumstances be regarded as an original faculty of the mind, is placed in the middle of the arch of the eyebrow.
27, Locality. This is the faculty by which we appreciate and remember tho places occupied by objects around us ; the 'mental power which makes the traveller, geographer, and landscape-painter; which recollects localities, and gives notions of perspective. It is remarkably shown in the power which many animals exhibit in tracing their way through great distances in migration, or in returning to their homes; and it gives men the propensity to travel, which many have so remarkably exhibited. Its organ is placed above and on each aide of the root of the nose.
28. Calculation, or Number, might be called the faculty of arith metic; whatever concerns calculation or number belongs to it, and hence Mr. Combo and many others speak of its organ as that of num ber. In those in whom the power of calculation is much developed, the external angle of the eyebrow is either much pressed downwards or elevated ; the organ of this faculty being situated beneath that part of the brow.
20. Order. It is believed that there is a faculty which gives a dIspo• sition to arrange and put things in order; as, for example, in a library to place books according to their size and form; in a collection of natural history to make each subject occupy its right situation accord ing to its configuration, or colour, or size. Cleanliness also seems to depend on it; and it produces the pleasure of seeing things complete. Its organ is situated between those of colouring and calculation.
