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.
