912 Evolutionary Significance of Human Character. [September, | 
Thus in psychology as in physiognomy, the palzontological 
order of development is somewhat different from the embryologi- 
cal, I might compare the two orders as follows : 
-PAL ZZ, ONTOLOGICAL, EMBRYOLOGICAL, 
; Hunger. 
Reproduction, Fear. 
Fear. Anger. 
Anger. Beauty 
Parental instinct. Wonder. 
Power. 
Power. Admiration. 
Beauty. j 
Wonder. 
Sex. 
Parental instinct. 2 
The qualities enumerated in the first column follow each other — 
directly in order from the simple to the complex. In the second 
column this order is disturbed by the earlier appearance of the 
derivative emotions, beauty, wonder, admiration and pity, or be- 
nevolence, and the later appearance of the simple emotion of sex. 
Thus in psychological as in other evolution, some of the products ie 
of development appear earlier and earlier in life in accordance 
with the law of acceleration. 
The intelligence has already been considered under the tw 
heads of the imagination and the reason. The action of the 
imagination, unmixed with the exercise of reason, is chiefly to be > 
seen in the creative fine arts, as distinguished from the imitative, 2 
the mechanic, and other arts. The musician, the painter, the 
sculptor, the poet, the novelist and the playwright, so far as th o 
are not imitators, present the best illustrations of the work of the = 
imagination. It is a faculty which must be very little devel ae i 
in the animals below man. They occasionally make m MS ‘it BS 
the nature of objects, and suppose them to be other than po 
they are. Thus the Antilocapra supposes the Indian disguised 
with a skin and horns, to be one of his own species, and big i 
the penalty. But this is a most rudimental act of imagination," . 
it be not mere curiosity, Baer 
The reason, RER so-called, begins in its lowest grades with 
the simplest rearrangement of the objects of sense and mem? 
in accordance with some principle of relation. As the ieee 
or standard of relation varies, so does the intellectual Bk 
the process be discovery, or the enlargement of knowledge, M44
