DEFINITION-Idea of shapes, outlines, faces; ability to commit to memory. LOCATION-Form is situated between the eyes, and, when large, gives width there.

1. Ir there were no form or shape to objects, this world would be a state of confusion; but everything we see has a regular form, and a regular shape. By means of Form and Individuality, we learn to distinguish one person from another-one book and one house from another. When we read, we remember different words by their form. We learn to spell by remembering the shape and forms of the letters.

2. Those who have large Form can learn to draw easily, and can make correct outlines and proportions. They can also commit to memory what they read or hear. There are some who can repeat, after they have studied their lesson, every word, just as it is in their book. Some can repeat almost the whole Bible, but it is only those persons whose eyes are wide apart where the organ of Form is located.

3. Such persons can learn to read easily, and can generally remember what they read much better than

those who are narrow between their eyes. This is a fact that universally holds true in every instance. Children, notice your companions, use your Individuality, and see if those in your class who generally recite their lessons the most promptly, have not a wide space between their eyes.

4. Dr. Gall, when a young man, noticed his schoolmates, and found it to be unexceptionably the case. This organ of Form was one of the first that he dis covered, and it was one in which he was very deficient. 5. The cut represents different forms, figures, shapes, and proportions.

DEFINITION-Ability to judge of the length, breadth, height, proportions, and dis. tances of objects.

LOCATION-Size is situated next to Form, at the commencement of the arch of the

eyebrow.

1. Ir we examine this organ, we shall perceive that it is as important as its neighbor, Form. By Size, we

learn that one object is larger or smaller than another. Form gives us a knowledge of the shape, while Size enables us to tell the difference between their shape.

2. Form would tell us that the apples in the cut are round, while Size would teach us that one was smaller than the other, and that one pillar was larger and taller than the other, although in each case both have the same shape. Some have this organ so large, that they can measure correctly by the eye, while others have very limited ideas of the difference between objects.

3. Children sometimes have wrong views on this subject. They are very apt to imagine that the smallest piece of anything is given to them; while, if they are the givers, they are inclined to imagine that they give away the largest piece, which is frequently not the case.

4. When persons have large organs of Marvellousness and Size, they exaggerate, or greatly misrepresent what they see or hear. Why, I saw a horse as big as an alligator," said one. "My sister is twice as big as I," said another. "Why, mother, the man had nearly fifty bushels of apples"-when in fact he had only five or six-said a little boy to his mother, when she told her son to carry back an apple he had taken from the gentleman without his permission.

5. A mother told me that she once heard her two little boys conversing with each other. Said George, “I have seen a railroad that reached two miles;" little Henry looked into his brother's face, and said, "I saw one which would reach as far as Lowell," which was

five or six miles from the place where they lived. These little boys had no correct ideas of distances, but the distance to the next town appeared very extensive. Little boys and girls frequently exaggerate very much when they speak of the different sizes of thing

gravity.

LOCATION-Weight is situated on each side, next to Size, in the arch of the eyebrow.

1. We can perceive that bodies have different forms, different sizes, and different proportions, but we require a separate organ to ascertain that one body is heavier than another. This organ we have in precisely the best position in which it could be placed, next to Size and Form.

2. When persons have large Form, Size, and Weight, they can, by practice, become good marksmen, can aim

and shoot correctly. William Tell was doomed to death, for attempting to incite his countrymen to rebel against the yoke of tyranny, which their cruel king had imposed on them. His sentence was changed. He was commanded to shoot an apple from the head of his son, who was placed several yards from him. Life was granted to him on this condition only.

3. This son was the pride of his soul; and the father would have preferred to sacrifice his own life, of which he was weary, rather than that even one hair of his son's head should be injured. But the decree had gone forth, and the father drew his unerring bow. The arrow stopped not in its flight, but sped its way, cleft the apple in two, and with it, fell to the ground. William Tell must have possessed large Form, Size, and Weight.

4. He also had large Firmness, undaunted courage, and resolution; for, as the applauses of the surrounding multitude rose in the air at the exhibition of his skill, an arrow, which had been concealed under his coat, fell to the ground. The king, perceiving this, immediately inquired what he had intended to do with it. With persevering boldness, Tell replied, "To slay thee, tyrant, had I slain my son."

5. By means of Weight we are enabled to balance our bodies in walking; we might learn to move our feet by Imitation, yet we should be continually falling if we could not balance our bodies properly. The stars and the moon would come tumbling down to the earth if they were not balanced, houses would shake and fall, and everything would be in a confused state.
