Excerpt from An Inaugural Dissertation on Chronic Mania: Submitted to the Public Examination of the Faculty of Physic, Under the Authority of the Trustees of Columbia College in the State of New-York, William Samuel Johnson, LL. D. President, For the Degree of Doctor of Physic, on the Third Day of May, 1796 Mankind, some innumerable causes, may be deprived of the use of reason. The difficulties attending the investigation of a subject so intimately connected with the phenomena of the mind, may account for the many unsatisfactory conjectures hitherto offered, as well as for the imperfections of the following attempt. It is difficult to define that state of the intellectual faculties which may be said to constitute a reasonable being, for, so various are the sensations of different people, and their concussions from them - so imperceptible the gradations from a flight error in reasoning to fatuity, that we can scarcely fay where rationality ends and folly begins.
