his brows, turns up his eyes, throws back his (boulders, walks 

 on tip-toe, and confiders every (unrounding object as beneath 

 him ; in the other, on the contrary, the hair falls naturally, 

 the eyes, the eye-lids and the head are turned downwards, 

 the body and the knees are (lightly bent ; in (hort, every thing 

 indicates a ftate of fubmiflion, without a with for fuperiority."

14. Love of When this organ is extended farther on the fides, it forms 

 s y# that of the love of glory, a propeniity very analogous to pride. 



15. Organ of the Love of Truth. 



15. Love of The function of the organ which is feen at the pofterior and 

 fupcrior angle of the parietals, is not exactly fixed by Gall ; 

 neverthelefs he has reafons to confider this angle as the feat of 

 the organ of the love of truth ; but he has not yet collected a 

 fufficient number of fads to produce entire conviction. 



Note, (l We have fome difficulty to perfuade ourfelves of 

 the fun6tion attributed by Gall to this lad organ ; it appears 

 to us, that an organ found among thofe with which animals 

 are provided as well as men, ought not to be appropriated to 

 a faculty, like the attribute of veracity, is adapted only to the 

 latter. 



" Neverthelefs this faculty, like that of pride, may be capa- 

 ble of great modifications in animals: and we acknowledge 

 that we have known two men, one of whom was diftinguHhed 

 by extreme veracity, and was furnifhed with this organ in a 

 very eminent degree ; but the other, on the contrary, whofe 

 difpofition for falftiood was extraordinary, w r as fo entirely de- 

 ftitute of it, that inftead of a projection, there was a cavity in 

 this part of the head," 



In the anterior, or lower part of the osfrontis, Gall difco- 

 vered many organs, the functions of which are of great im- 

 portance. 



At the commencement of his inveftigations, he confidered 

 them as organs of the different fpecies of memory ; but after- 

 wards obferving that their action was not merely reproductive, 

 but alfo productive, he was induced to confider them as the 

 organs of particular fenfes, and to eilablith, from this obfer- 

 vation, the opinion that memory in general is only the repro- 

 ductive operation of all the organs; and that imagination, on 

 thex:ontrary, is their productive action.
