e moral organs
added, will be more beloved than feared, and manifest extreme sympathy,
amounting sometimes even to weakness, and secure ends more by mild than
severe measures; with moderate Combativeness and Self-Esteem, is
irresolute, unable to stand its ground, or to take care of itself; flies
to others for protection; can do little, and feels that it can do still
less; fails to realize or put forth its strength; and with large
Cautiousness added, sees a lion where there is none, and makes mountains
of mole-hills; and with small Hope added is literally good for nothing;
but with large Hope and Firmness, and full Self-Esteem and Combativeness,
accomplishes considerable, yet in a quiet way, and by perseverance more
than force, by siege rather than by storm, and with large intellectual and
moral faculties added, will be a good, yet not a tame, citizen; exert a
good influence, and that always healthful, and be missed more when dead
than prized while living. Those combinations under this organ large,
reversed, apply to it when moderate: p. 84.
SMALL.--With large moral faculties, possesses too tender a soul to enjoy
our world as it is, or to endure hardships or cruelties; can neither
endure nor cause suffering, and show so little as to provoke a smile or
ridicule, and should cultivate hardness and force: p. 82.
VERY SMALL.--Experiences little, and manifests none of this faculty.
8. ALIMENTIVENESS.
APPETITE; the FEEDING instinct; RELISH for food; HUNGER; adapted to man's
need of food, and creating a disposition to eat. Perverted, it produces
gormandizing and gluttony, and ends in dyspepsia and all its evils.

LARGE.--Has a hearty relish for food; sets a high value upon table
enjoyments, and solid, hearty food; with Acquisitiveness large, lays up
abundance of food for future use--perhaps keeps so much on hand that some
of it spoils; with Ideality large, must eat from a clean plate, and have
food nicely cooked; with large Language and intellect, enjoys table-talk
exceedingly, and participates in it; with large social faculties, must eat
with others; is a good cook, if practiced in culinary arts; and with
larger Approbativeness and Ideality than Causality, is apt to be
ceremonious and over-polite at table, etc. Such should restrain this
faculty by eating less, more slowly, and seldom: p. 86.
VERY LARGE.--Often eats more than is requisite; enjoys food
