guage large, talks directly to the purpose, without paying much
attention to the mode of expression, etc.: p. 160.

MODERATE.--Rather lacks taste in manners and expression; has but little of
the sentimental or finished; should cultivate harmony and perfection of
character, and endeavor to polish up; with large propensities, evinces
them in rather a coarser and grosser manner, and is more liable to their
perverted action than when this faculty is large, and is homespun in every
thing: p. 163.

SMALL.--Shows a marked deficiency in whatever appertains to taste and
style, also to beauty and sentiment: p. 163.

VERY SMALL.--Is almost deficient in taste, and evinces none: p. 164.

B. SUBLIMITY.

Perception and appreciation of the VAST, ILLIMITABLE, ENDLESS, OMNIPOTENT,
and INFINITE. Adapted to that infinitude which characterizes every
department of nature. Perverted, it leads to bombast, and a wrong use of
extravagant ideas.

LARGE.--Appreciates and admires the grand, sublime, vast, magnificent, and
splendid in nature and art; admires and enjoys exceedingly mountain
scenery, thunder, lightning, tempests, vast prospects, and all that is
awful and magnificent, also the foaming, dashing cataract, a storm at sea;

manifestations of omnipotence and infinitude; with large Veneration, is
particularly delighted by the infinite as appertaining to the Deity, and
his attributes and works; and with large Time added, has unspeakably grand
conceptions of infinitude as applicable to devotion, past and future, and
to the character and works of the Deity; with large intellectual organs,
takes a comprehensive view of subjects, and gives illimitable scope to his
investigations and conceptions, so that they will bear being carried out
to any extent; and with Ideality large, adds the beautiful and perfect to
the sublime and infinite.

VERY LARGE.--Has a passion for the wild, romantic, and infinite. See
large.

FULL.--Enjoys grandeur, sublimity, and infinitude quite well, and imparts
considerable of this element to his thoughts, emotions, and expressions;
evinces the same qualities as large, only in a less degree.

AVERAGE.--Possesses considerable of this element, when it is powerfully
excited, yet under ordinary circumstances, only an ordinary share of it.

MODERATE.--Is rather deficient in the conc
