He had usually a stool brought to him to stand upon when addressing the court, which gave occasion for a witty rival once to observe, that "that was one way of rising at the bar." Lord Kaimes used to relate a story of a man who claimed the honour of his acquaintance on rather singular grounds.

It has been called the representative faculty, the imaginative state, and many other states and faculties.
