FUNCTION OF THE FHYSICO-PERCEPTIVE FACULTIES. These faculties adapt man to the material world. Theygive knowledge and judgment of the physical qualities andproperties of matter, and of its adaptations or fitness for par-ticular uses; as well as perceive how to operate on it, so as toeffect desired objects. Their combinations, however, determine their more specificdirections. When very large and combined with the physicaltemperament and Acquisitiveness
