I purpose to consider in a few pages sundry so-called classes or varieties of insanity, which have given rise to no little dispute. Opinions with regard to these are still at variance, and so it conies to pass, that when we have to approach them, not from a therapeutical, but from a forensic stand-point, we are, by the ingenuity of counsel, launched amidst a multitude of seeming discrepancies, and it is suggested that nothing definite or certain is known about the whole subject. By a closer examination of the cases we see in practice, we shall find, I think, that the greater part of these doubts and difficulties will disappear.
