moral basis, yet
instinctively employs many stratagems, calculated to cast off suspicions
on its motives; and should cultivate openness and sincerity: p. 98.

FULL.--Evinces much self-government; yet, if temperament be active, when
the feelings do break forth, manifest themselves with unusual intensity;
with large Acquisitiveness and Cautiousness, communicates but little
respecting pecuniary affairs; with large Approbativeness, takes the
popular side of subjects, and sails only with the current of public
opinion; with Conscientiousness large, is upright in motive, and tells the
truth, but not always the whole truth; and, though it hoists no false

Conscientiousness, and Combativeness added, is truthful, and speaks its
whole mind too bluntly; with fine feelings, and a good moral organization,
manifests the higher, finer feelings, without restraint or reserve, so as
to be the more attractive; is full of goodness, and shows all that
goodness without any intervening veil; manifests in looks and actions what
is passing within; expresses all its mental operations with fu
