duality large, both
observes and recollects persons and things, but with Individuality
moderate, fails to notice them, and hence to remember them, unless
business or something special draws attention to them; with large
Philoprogenitiveness, notices and recollects children, favorite animals,
etc.; with large Acquisitiveness, Individuality, and Locality, readily

sublimity, beautiful and magnificent scenery, etc.; and should impress the
recollection of shape upon the mind: p. 188.

will be comparatively deficient in these respects; and should cultivate
this faculty: p. 186.

and should cultivate this faculty by trying to remember persons and
things: p. 189.
SMALL.--Has a poor recollection of persons, looks, etc.; often meets

their looks, etc.: p. 189.
