One of the most formidable obstacles to the spread of this knowledge is pointed out by ft foreign writer on tb» subject, who said 1 '' The boundary line* between mental sound- aess and insanity a n often extremely thin and incapable of precise definition; religious ferror, the fire of genius arid the energy ' ambition are all at times so near an L K proech to madn«» that some great anthoV. itiae have pronounced all men of genius to ladmen.\ ThUis aa •xoeedtngly im- portant statement and it should always t » kept in mind when dtsouaibf thi| aubjeat. ? l1 ^* * ^ £* by aU wh. dedde as to 1 individual. „ w«q» m — v*m itplanatioo of many of the ourione noMons heretofore entertained by some M to Ota nature of insanity, Deponi&CSj ppajession, which at some pa^ tDn T *Cog«|?ftM <W W a oases of this trouble, will explain M well as pofdble nm»y oases of the so-called temporary fonaoity \'eo comracm nowadays. A recent writer defines insanity to be (nanifestation of disease of the brain, oW- a general or partial derange- ment pf one or more of the faculties of the mind and in which mental freedom is weak- tned, perverted or destroyed.\ While this is a very irifelligent definition it doe* not meet all the requiremeats of th» oase, It is hot probabla th * any definition; ev « wil \flo so. ; The eomprchesslon of this sub. |eot wiH be vBry muoh iadiisated by ooa> siderix^ tbe various forms of insanity separately, which we will now d< Idiocy is the condition seen in those per» eons who have' been defloiont In undor- iding from their nativity.
