from death, and clings to life with desperation; struggles with the utmost determination against disease and death; nor gives up to die till the very last, and then by the hardest; with Cautiousness very large, and Hope moderate, shudders at the very thought of dying, or being dead; but with Hope large, expects to live against hope and experience. Combinations like those under large, allowance being made for the increase of this faculty. FULL.--Loves life, and clings tenaciously to it, yet not extravagantly; hates to die, yet yields to disease and death, though reluctantly. AVERAGE.--Enjoys life, and clings to it with a fair degree of earnestness, yet by no means with passionate fondness; and with a given constitution and health, will die easier and sooner than with this faculty large. MODERATE OR SMALL.--Likes to live, yet cares no great about existence for its own sake; with large animal or domestic organs, may wish to live on account of family, or business, or worldly pleasure, yet cares less about it for its _own sake_, and yields up existence with little reluctance or dread. VERY SMALL.--Has no desire to live merely for the sake of living, but only to gratify other faculties. 6. COMBATIVENESS. [Illustration: No. 55. LARGE.] [Illustration: No. 56.
