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.

hates to die, yet yields to disease and death, though reluctantly.

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.
