ere, or one
that requires only a mechanical routine of business, may do well; with
_moderate or small_ activity, will hardly have common sense.

MODERATE.--One with a head of only moderate size, combined with _great_
or _very great activity_, and the organs of the propelling powers and of
practical intellect large, will possess a tolerable share of intellect,
yet be more showy than sound; with others to plan for and direct him, will
execute to advantage, yet be unable to do much alone; will have a very
active mind, and be quick of perception, yet, after all, have a contracted
intellect; possess only a small mental calibre, and lack momentum, both of
mind and character; with activity only _average, or fair_, will have but a
moderate _amount_ of intellect, and even this scanty allowance will be too
sluggish for action, so that he will neither suffer nor enjoy much; with
activity _moderate or small_, will be idiotic.

SMALL OR VERY SMALL.--One with a small or very small head, no matter what
may be the activity of his mind, will be incapable of much intellectual
effort; of comprehending even easy subjects; or of experiencing much pain
or pleasure; in short, will be mentally imbecile.

27.--SIZE OF BRAIN AS AFFECTING MENTALITY.

Most great men have great heads. Webster's head measures over 24 inches,
and Clay's considerably above 23; and this is about Van Buren's size;
Chief Justice Gibson's, the greatest jurist in Pennsylvania, 24-1/4;
Napoleon's reached nearly or quite to 24, his hat passing easily over the
head of one of his officers, which measured 23-1/2; and Hamilton's hat
passed over the head of a man whose head measured 23-1/2. Burke's head was
immense, so was Jefferson's; while Franklin's hat passed over the ears of
a 24-inch head. Small and average sized heads often astonish us by their
brilliancy and learning, and, perhaps, eloquence, yet they fail in that
commanding greatness which impresses and sways mind. The phrenological law
is that size, other things being equal, is a measure of power; yet these
other conditions, such as activity, power of motive, wealth, physiological
habits, etc., increase or diminish the mentality, even more than size.
