Perversion--homesickness when away from home.
LARGE.--Has a strong desire to locate young, to have a home or room
exclusively to itself; leaves home with great reluctance, and returns with
extreme delight; soon becomes attached to house, sleeping-room, garden,
fields, furniture, etc.; and highly prizes domestic associations; nor is
satisfied till it has a place on which to expend this home instinct; with
Philoprogenitiveness, Adhesiveness, Individuality, and Locality large,
will love to travel, yet be too fond of home to stay away long at a time;
may be a cosmopolite in early life, and see much of the world; but will
afterward settle down in one spot; but with Approbativeness and
Combativeness large, will defend national honor, praise its own country,
government, etc.; and defend both country and fireside with great spirit;
with Ideality large, is well adapted to beautify home; with Friendship
large, will delight to see friends at home, rather than abroad; with
Alimentiveness large, will enjoy food at home better than elsewhere, etc.:

VERY LARGE.--Is liable to be homesick when away from home, especially for
the first time, and the more so if Philoprogenitiveness and Adhesiveness
are large; will suffer almost any inconvenience, and forego bright
prospects rather than leave home; and remain in an inferior house or
place of business, rather than change. Its combinations will be analogous
to those under Inhabitiveness large: p. 68.
FULL.--Prefers to live in one place, yet willingly changes it when
interest or the other faculties require it; and with large
Philoprogenitiveness, Adhesiveness, and Amativeness, will think more of
family and friends than of the domicile: p. 69.
AVERAGE.--Loves home tolerably well, yet with no great fervor, and changes
the place of abode as the other faculties may dictate; takes no great
interest in house or place, as such, or pleasure in their improvement, and
is satisfied with ordinary home comforts; with Acquisitiveness large,
spends reluctantly for its improvement; with Constructiveness moderate,
takes little pleasure in building additions to home; with Individuality
and Locality large, loves traveling more than staying in one place, and is
satisfied with inferior home accommodations: p. 68.
