Insanity or unsoundne implies positive disease, which is more or le permanent. Lunacy is a violent sort of insanity. Madne and mania imply insanity or lunacy in its most furious and confirmed stage. Deranged persons may some- times be perfectly sensible in everything but par- ticular subjects. Insane persons are sometimes entirely restored. Lunatics have their lucid inter- vals, and maniacs their intervals of repose. De- range ment may sometimes be applied to the tem- porary confusion of a disturbed mind, which is not in full po e ion of all its faculties: madne may sometimes be the result of violently inflamed pas- sions; and mania may be applied to any vehement attachment which takes po e ion of the mind."
