8. LOCALITY.

This organ gives the power of noticing and recollecting the peculiar

position of objects, and gives a desire for travelling, and for the

study of geography. It is essential to the scene painter. It strongly

aids the power of association.

Predominant.--With Locality predominant, one will have an insatiable

desire for travelling, roving about, and for visiting strange places,

will readily recollect their peculiar position, the localities of the

prominent objects of attention, and will be excessively fond of reading

geography and works of travels.

Large.--With Locality large, one will have a great desire for

travelling; and with Acquisitiveness and Inhabitiveness moderate or

small, will be prompted to roam about regardless of expense, or of

family considerations. In visiting strange places, he readily notices

their peculiar localities, and will ever after recollect them. He will

be excessively fond of studying geography, and works of travels; and

will be enabled to point out the particular position of a sentence in

a book or newspaper containing an idea to which he wishes to direct

attention. He will never stumble in the dark, and will find his way

with little instruction through unfrequented places.

Moderate.--With Locality but moderate, one will have but little desire

for travelling, and will be nearly regardless of the localities of

the places which he visits. He will often lose his way in forests and

cities, with which he is not familiar, and will seldom find a place

if obscurely situated without great trouble. With Individuality and

Ideality large, will have a fine taste for natural scenery, but his

descriptions will be vague and unsatisfactory in consequence of his

inability to point out the particular localities of the different

objects.

Small.--With Locality small, one will be extremely unobservant of, and

inattentive to the localities of objects. He will often lose his way

even in places with which he is familiar, and will be nearly wanting in

the attributes ascribed to this organ.
