    Location.—The location of this organ is outward and upward from philopro., and above amat., and its shape near- ly oval. 4. INHABITIVENESS. Love of home and country—desire to locate and remain in one spot—attachment to the place in which one has lived. That there often exists a partiality towards particular places, and for no other reason than that one has lived there, is a very common phenomenon, and even necessary to man's happiness and well-being. This class of functions must be produced by some faculty; and the fact that its organ is found adjoining philopro. and adhes., the objects of which it directly and essentially aids, affords presumptive and ana- logical proof both of its existence and of the correctness of its location. Large.—One having inhab. large, will have a very strong desire to locate himself in a single spot which he can call his home, and to remain there; leaves the place of his nativity and abode with the greatest reluctance, and returns to them with delight; soon becomes strongly attached to his house, his office, his garden, his fields, &c, and is generally satis- fied with them; thinks a great deal of his native town, state, and country, and, when away from them, of those that have lived in them, &c. One having inhab. large, with philopro., adhes., ideal., individ., and local, large or very large, will be extremely fond of travelling, yet too fond of home to absent himself long at a time; in early life, will have an insatiable desire to rove about and see the world, and afterwards to set- tle: with approbat. and self-e. large or very large, will have high ideas of his country, of national honour, national ad- vantages and privileges, &c.; and, with large or very large combat, and destruct, will be eminently patriotick and ready to sacrifice all, even life itself, in defence of his country's rights and honour, and of his own fireside ; and, with large or very large ven., will look with great reverence to those de- parted worthies who have served and honoured their coun- try, and also to the national relicks of past ages. Very large.—One having inhab. very large, will be sometimes homesick, especially if philopro. and adhes. are also very large; will suffer almost any inconvenience, and
