CLASSIFICATION OF FACULTIES.

Figs. 72 and 73 illustrate Dr. Redfield's classification and location of faculties and their signs on the face. All the faculties

marked on the profile and those on the left side of the front-face are indicated in the bones-the framework of the face. Those on the right side have their signs in the muscles. Those indicated by the bony framework lie in strict classical order, and have their places in that order; but sometimes the part of a bone belonging to a faculty is so covered with muscle that it is impossible to distinguish it there. In that case Nature hangs out the sign in some conspicuous part of the face where it can not be mistaken.

as may be seen by the drawing, is divided into eight horizontal lines of faculties, with eight faculties in each line, making also eight perpendicular lines.

Above the eye are also eight horizontal and eight perpendicular lines of faculties, while that line indi

cated behind the eye (language) forms a separate group, or is a connecting link between those above and those below the

eye. The eight lines above the eye have a peculiar correspondence to the eight lines below the eye. Also, the eight faculties in each perpendicular and in each horizontal line have interesting analogies and correspondences with each other. Those in the horizontal lines have harmonies of thirds, fourths, and fifths, corresponding to the harmonies of the musical scale of eight notes, and showing how deeply laid in nature are those eight sounds of the natural scale and their harmonies.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES.

As a practical illustration of the system thus sketched in outline we will take up the group of the faculties whose signs are situated, as shown by the foregoing diagrams, on the bone of the chin and lower jaw.

THE LOVES AND THE WILLS.-Love, or Amativeness, in its various forms, is indicated by anterior prominence of the chin and breadth of the lower jaw below the molar teeth. Will, in its various manifestations, is indicated by length or perpendicular projection of the same. The relation of the Loves and Wills to each other is that of opposition or contrast. Commencing in the center of the face, we take up the faculties of Love and Will alternately.

1. Congeniality, the first of the faculties of Love (fig. 72, 11), is indicated by the anterior projection of the center of the chin [see initial cut at the head of this chapter]. This faculty desires a husband or wife similar to one's self-a perfect counterpart, and in seeking such a one is very likely to create a "beau-ideal," such as it can never find in real life. But it is counterbalanced by

(a) Engrossment, the first faculty of the Will, which is indicated by length of the chin downward under Congeniality (fig. 72, 7). Engrossment is the wish or will, and the power of fixing the mind on material things; points downward to the earth, looks at stern realities, draws Congeniality away from its fancied ideal, and teaches it the excellence and worth of the real. But Engrossment without the influence of Congeniality would throw aside all sentiment, all ideas of congenial minds and spirits, and would lead to gross materialism

in love, and unless strongly counteracted by the higher faculties, in religion also.

2. Desire to be Loved-the second faculty of Love, is indicated by a prominence of the chin on each side of Congeniality (fig. 72, 142); for it must be remembered that all the signs of faculties are double. This faculty is thoroughly selfish when acting by itself. It craves all the love either of one individual or of many. But it is counteracted by

(b) Willingness-the second faculty of Will (fig. 72, 156), is indicated by length of the chin downward under Desire to be Loved. Willingness is the wish or will that others also should be loved by those who love us. It acts against the exclusiveness of Desire to be Loved, which would absorb not only all the conjugal love of the husband or wife, but all the social loves. On the other hand Willingness itself needs the counterbalance of Desire to be Loved, else it might lead to undue liberty, and swallow up conjugal love in free-love. This faculty is willing to accommodate others, and if large will lead one to incommode himself for the sake of others. Such a one is also easily persuaded to conform to the wishes of others.

3. Desire to Love-the third faculty of Love (fig. 72, 143), gives prominence to the chin next to Desire to be Loved, making the small square chin. This faculty loves those opposite to ourselves in position of life, in complexion, temperaments, etc. It also loves many, so many that it does not know which it loves best, or which to choose for a life-partner; and probably would never choose, were it not assisted and counteracted by

(c) Determination-the third faculty of Will (fig. 72, 156), which gives downward length to the chin under Desire to Love. This latter is a wanderer; but Determination holds it back, sets bounds and limits to it, saying, "Thus far, no farther"-enables it to select one on whom its love may be lavished, and to settle down in a happy home. Determination is large in all decided and determined people. It gives the disposition, and to some extent the power, to hold back-to restrain ourselves and also others, sometimes proceeding to

the verge of tyranny. It is larger in manhood and old age than in childhood.

4. Violent Love or Devotion-the fourth faculty of Love (fig. 72, 1), is indicated by the prominence of the chin next to Desire to Love, giving, when large, the broad square chin. This faculty, acting by itself, in

vests its object with superhuman qualities and worships it; but is very liable to become morbidly sensitive and jealous. And if the love is not returned, or for any cause is withdrawn or changed, paroxysms of insanity may occur in which the individual may do violence to himself or the object of his love. But this morbid, violent action of the faculty is counteracted or prevented by

(d) Self- Will or Self-Control-the fourth faculty of Will (fig. 72, 15), which is indicated by length of the chin downward under Violent Love. This is the strongest of the faculties of Will. One with it large is self-centered, self-poised, self-possessed, has presence of mind in times of danger; and however devoted he may be to the object of love, will not lose himself or his senses, or be thrown out of balance in either mind or body if disappointed; nor will he be liable to insanity from any cause. This faculty gives weight and dignity to the character, and is usually larger in man than in woman. lower action is manifested by throwing one's self down in a seat or on

also manifests itself by stamping. These four faculties of
Love and Will are indicated in the chin proper, or in the front

of the face; the other four are indicated in the length and breadth of the lower jaw on the side of the face, under the molar and wisdom teeth.

5. Ardent Love-the fifth faculty of Love (fig. 72, 145), is indicated by breadth of the lower jaw under the small molars and next to Violent Love. It is also indicated by the breadth and fullness of the red part of the lips. It imparts warmth and ardor to the whole character, belongs to Friendship as well as to Love, and shows itself by embracing and kissing. When large it gives a love of poetry-the disposition to

write it, and other things being

equal, the ability. Its excessive action is counteracted by

(e) Abstraction-the fifth faculty of Will (fig. 72, 15), indicated by the length of the chin downward under the small molars and under Ardent Love, also by the fullness of the muscular part of lips, particularly the under lip, below the red of the lip-there as in the chin, lying under Ardent Love. This faculty is the power of abstracting the mind or attention from external things and fixing it on the internal. Under its action a person appears absent-minded, and is often really unconscious of what is passing around him. It gives a tendency to clairvoyance and the trance state. It induces coldness, and thus opposes Ardent Love, which quickens the flow of the blood and induces warmth. The latter is very conscious of the external and sensitive to the touch; while the former, in its greatest degree, is entirely unconscious of the external, and entirely insensible to the touch, even when the flesh is pricked with pins or torn.

6. Fond Love-the sixth faculty of Love (fig. 72, 146), and 7. Love of Physical Beauty-the seventh (fig. 72, 17), have their signs so near together that it is difficult to distinguish
