It behoves us, then, having found any faculty to be innate, not to rest content there, but steadily to follow backwards the line of causation, and thus to display, if possible, its manner of origin. This is the more necessary with the lower animals, where so much is innate. Maudsley on the Physiology and Pathology of the Mind, p. 73. The special laws of inheritance are indeed as yet unknown.
H. Maudsley has gone fully into the case of Swedenborg in an article in the Journal of Mental Science for July and October 1869, since reprinted in his Body and Mind. See Luther, by H. Grisar, 1913, vol. i. pp. 16-7. For other cases, and a general account of the relations between pathologic states and religious delusion, see Lombroso, Man of Genius, chap. iv. pt. iii.
Feel my pulse! so a man may intensely hate another, but until his bodily frame is affected he can hardly be said to be enraged." And, a little later, from Maudsley: "The specific muscular action is not merely an exponent of passion, but truly an essential part of it.
My sister asked me what was the matter, and why I was so pale; but I told her that I had been upset by the jewel robbery at the hotel. Then I went into the back yard and smoked a pipe and wondered what it would be best to do. "I had a friend once called Maudsley, who went to the bad, and has just been serving his time in Pentonville.
The family physician encouraged the scientific trend of her reading, loaned her books by Maudsley and Darwin and Havelock Ellis, and often dropped in to talk with her about her studies, her reading, and her plans.
He came to her now with a smile, greeted her heartily, and then turned to Lady Dargan. Captain Maudsley carried off Mrs. Gasgoyne, and the two were left together the second time since the evening of Gaston's arrival, so many months before. Lady Dargan had been abroad, and was just returned.
Maudsley says: "It may seem paradoxical to assert not merely that ideas may exist in the mind without any consciousness of them, but that an idea, or a train of associated ideas, may be quickened into action and actuate movements without itself being attended to.
"Sophie, when you talk with the man, remember that you are near fifty, and faded. Don't be sentimental." So said Mrs. Gasgoyne to Lady Dargan, as they saw Gaston coming down the ballroom with Captain Maudsley. "Reine, you try one's patience. People would say you were not quite disinterested." "You mean Delia! Now, listen.
Sometimes these hallucinations of sight and hearing are in curious contrast with each other. "Not rarely," says Dr. Conolly Norman, "a patient has visual hallucinations of a cheering kind as of God or angels; yet his auditory hallucinations are full of blasphemy, mockery, and insult." Dr. Maudsley thus describes the general symptoms accompanying an epileptic attack:
Only in losing consciousness, do we cease to destroy the brain cells; it is only in sleep that the brain can rest. But it must be remembered that the matter which is thus destroyed, is, as Maudsley so finely shows, the very finest result of the creative life-process, the most precious essence. It is like the oil of roses, to produce one drop of which, unnumbered roses must be crushed.
