Pagina 13 - ... notwithstanding the party accused did the act complained of with a view, under the influence of insane delusion, of redressing or revenging some supposed grievance or injury, or of producing some public benefit, he is nevertheless punishable, according to the nature of the crime committed, if he knew, at the time of committing such crime, that he was acting contrary to law, by which expression we understand your Lordships to mean the law of the land.
Pagina 31 - Knowledge and Wisdom, far from being one, Have ofttimes no connection. Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men ; Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.
Pagina 260 - ... days, or 18,432. Adopting this, the mean daily excess of beats during the alcoholic days was 14,492, or an increase of rather more than 13 per cent.

The heart, on the fifth and sixth days after alcohol was left off, and apparently at the time when the last traces of alcohol were eliminated, showed in the sphygmographic tracings signs of unusual feebleness ; and, perhaps, in consequence of this, when the brandy quickened the heart again, the tracings showed a more rapid contraction...

Pagina 189 - Giddiness can be but the temporary loss or disorder of certain relations in space, chiefly made .up of muscular feelings. Surely the conclusion is irresistible, that "mental" symptoms from disease of the hemisphere are fundamentally like hemiplegia, chorea, and convulsions, however specially different. They must all be due to lack, or to disorderly development, of sensori-motor processes.
Pagina 253 - ... it the necessary idea of sudden dissolution from heart disease, for, as I have elsewhere shown, the heart is the regulator, not the prime mover, of the circulation. The harmlessness of the symptom in its moderate development is...
Pagina 256 - THE SYMPTOM. In children the symptom of intermittency of the pulse may pass away with growth and increase of strength ; in adults, when the symptom is once established, it never, I believe, goes away entirely. It may be absent for long periods when the general health is good, but it returns on every occasion of depression of power, and is very easily induced by agencies which act deleteriously on the brain.
