When very large, with smaller perceptives, ihiygive a high and wide, or towering, overhanging form of fore-head, and cause its upper portion to project beyond the per-ceptives, as in the engravings of Franklin and high, wide, square, bold, prominent foreheads, as wellas their consequent square and straight form of face, in-dicate predominant reflectives. Yet small perceptives, bycausing the lower portion of the forehead to retire, render theseorgans more conspicuous and apparently larger than they real-ly are, yet leave the intellectual lobe smaller and facultiesweaker than if the perceptives were larger, which would ren-der the forehead more retiring. Hence, the forehead mayretreat when the reflectives are large, because the perceptivesmay be still larger. A sloping forehead shows, however, thatthe reflectives do not predominate over the perceptives. 418. FUNCTION OF THE REFLECTIVE FACULTIES. This group takes c
