Some Views on Insanity (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Some Views on Insanity
Spiritualism may, or may not be a delusion, but a per son who believes in it is not,. And cannot be regarded by the law as insane. It is looked upon, so far as the legal principle is concerned, as a religious belief. A person may have sane and insane delusions in regard to Spiritu' alism as in regard to any other subject matter. Sane delusions are those out of which one may be reasoned. Insane delusions aie those of which one 's mental capa city cannot divest itself. The most familiar and striking illustration of Spiritualism entertained as a belief by an undoubtedly sane mind, is that of a most eminent adyo Cate of the highest culture, of the greatest legal attain ments and the most lovely personal character, who has recently appeared as the eloquent and able champion of this belief.
