This disorder. at present epidemic in the Ua.J

chiefly such as are too inteut on their own inter.
ests, and on making their fortunes. Most us,.

over fancy or passion, are comparatively cxempl.
The symptoms are violent almost to ludicroo,.
ness. The worst patients are observed to ia.
cline greatly to change OF place, I'LL they get irO
an easy situation; they are then more quiet. Aay
attempt, however. to disturb them in their si,ua
ton is sure to bring back paroxysm with great
violence. Indeed it is common fer patients 70
imagine themselves in a kind Of rotation, .whea
not the least movement can be observed in then
by by-standers. An example of this was give.

s.rutation! rotation!" though he remained a!lrl,

ruinous sums for interest on borrowed mOney;s
he persuades the lender to demand the prn
cipai, and clap the borrower into Jail. Anothe
time, being postmaster for the village. he had
violent quarrel with the Post master. General
who, he said, should never instruct a man who
had taken an oath. to support the CONSTITUTIONS

place; but he swears he will nulify the Postma;.
General, and, and ueto his ORDERS rather than
submit. His friends had provided him legal guar.
dams, to advise and control him: This he con,i.
