![Though tape measurements, taken around the head, from Indlvidu ality to Philoprogenitiveness or Parental Love, give some idea of tha size of the brain, the fact that some heads are round, others long, some low, and others high, so modifies these measurements that they lo not convey any very correct idea of the actual quantity of brair Pet these measurements range somewhat as follows in adults : 7 or Very Large, 23ij inches and upward; 6 or Large, from 22f to 23J ; 5 or Full, from 22 to 22J ; 4 or Average, from 21 £ to 22; 3 or Moderate, from 20$ to 211; 2 or Small, from 20 to 20:] ; 1 Below, 20 Female heads are half an inch to an inch below these measurements. Vert Large.—With quality good, are naturally great; with quality and activity 6 or 7, and the intellectual organs 6 or 7, are a natural genius, a mental giant; even without education, will surmount all disadvantages, learn with wonderful facility, sway mind, and become pre-eminent; with the organs of practical intellect and the propelling powers 6 or 7, will possess the first order of natural abilities ; manl¬ iest a clearness and force of intellect which will astonish the world, and a power of feeling which will carry all before them ; and, with proper cultivation, become bright stars in the firmament of intellec¬ tual greatness, upon which coming ages will gaze with delight and astonishment. With quality and activity 5 or 4, are great on great occasions, and, when thoroughly roused, manifest splendid talents, and naturally take the lead among men, otherwise not; with activity or quality deficient, must cultivate much in order to become much. Large.—With activity and quality 6 or 7, combine great power of luinh 'ith great activity ; exercise a commanding influence over other minds to sway and persuade; and enjoy and sutler in the extreme; with perceptives 6, can conduct a large business or undertaking suc¬ cessfully ; rise to eminence, if not pre-eminence; and evince great originality and power of intellect, strong native sense, superior judg ment, great force of character and feeling, and make a conspicuous and enduring mark on the intellectual or business world, c-r in whatever direction these superior capacities are put forth. With activity and quality 5, are endowed with superior natural talents, yet require strong incentives to call them out; undeveloped by circumstances, may pass through life with/ nit accomplishing much, or attracting notice, or evino !ng more than ordinary parts; but with the perceptive and forcible organs also G, and talents disciplined and called out, manifest a vigor and energy far above mediocrity ; are adequate to carry forward great undertakings, demanding originality and force of mind and character ret are rather indolent. With activity only average, possess consider¬ able energy of intellect and feeling, yet seldom manifest it, unless brought out by some powerful stimulus, and are rather too indolent 10 exert, especially intellect.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29814844_0046.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
