Excerpt from The Physiognomical System of Drs; Gall and Spurzheim: Founded on an Anatomical and Physiological Examination of the Nervous System in General, and of the Brain in Particular; And Indicating Thee Dispositions and Manifestations of the Mind Having hciw'ever formed new names it is my duty to state my reasons for so doing. The English language presents very few single words which express my conceptions of the peculiar faculties of the mind. Hence I was obliged either to speak by circumlocution or to make new names. Now I think Wltl'l Locke, that, in this respect, we have the same-right as our predecessors, and I therefore propose new single names, which I haveformed, as much as possi ble, conformably to the spirit Of the language Having established different propensities as pecu liar faculties Of the mind, In order to designate propensity I have taken the termination ive as indicating the quality of producing, and mass as indicating the, abstract state; I have therefore joined iveness to different roots, among which I have given the preference to English words generally admitted. When I could not find any such, I chose Latin participles, which, in English, are so common even in expressions which denote a meaning similar to that Which I look for, as destructiveness, productiveness &c.
