These five modes of passonal derangcmcnt are the
most evident and the most easily undersoOd, though
duced by the prolonged repression Of predominant pas
sion; 7h Insanity produced by an intense violation DIS
appointment, irritation Of Of the Passions,
giving II an entire preponderance and thereby destroy
ing their internal balance, and the link OF rational con-
nectIOn between them and the outward wOrld-the
cited Passion becoming the center PIVOT Of the pas
sOuh system, and dispacing consciousness wlich Is
their unity Sh, piyOtaly, confirmed MisanthOpy and
Atheism, which are an inversion, morally and nteec-
tuay, or TIE religious sentiment produced by the aspect
OF the social disorders and the excess OF suffering which
reign on the earth.
The conclusion draw from the preceding analysis Is
this We believe general principles that the Passions
good; that they the motors given Man by that
Supreme Wisdom which distributes al the forces, spirit
ua and material Of tue universe, TO direct him to fulfill
his destiny; but that, Ike all other forces they may be
msdrcccd and derangcd in their action, and that they
then produce disorder, dscOr and eyl-and In degree
which j. ia exact proportion the harmony which they
would give rise, If they normally developed. This
disorder and evil effects Of the Passions and
have said, mistake the effects FOR the
mistake their for their essential We
