I. Abilities and propensities are innate in men and animals.......Page 35
III. IV. Not only do the abilities differ essentially and independently from thepropensities, but also the capabilities and propensities per se among themselves differ essentially and independently from each other; therefore they must be situated in different and independent parts of the brain.......Page 37
VII. From the origin of the bones of the skull until old age, the form of the inner of the cranium is determined by the external form of the brain; consequently certain abilities and propensities can be concluded from the form of the outer surface of the cranium as long as it agrees with the inner form or does not diverge from the known deviations.......Page 39
