stared wildly, endeavored to lay hold of and tear everything in his reach,
then a calm similar to fainting with this difference only, the skin was
florid, lost all remembrance of past actions and knowledge of present
objects, then slowly began to recover both, though in a manner so amazing
that his business connections and everything of the same nature which he
had entirely forgotten, at their first occurrence startled his mind as if
he had never been acquainted with them before, but after he knew all the
family he did not recollect the use of the furniture in the room, and
every object appeared as strange as if he had only that moment begun his

had no interest or continued memory of events, on greeting his family on
his return from the asylum he was thrown into a trance, in which he could
not talk or act, but fully realized what was said or done about him,
afterwards from excitement he had another trance and came out of it weak
and trembling, for a long time he was conscious of an unstable brain,
which seemed balanced on a slight point, likely at any moment to be turned
over, fragments of conversation whirled through his mind, and at times his
surroundings were all perverted, he would walk about and not know what he
was doing or where he was, he was somnambulistic.►

attention upon any of them, and he lost consciousness returned, but
distraction, forgetfulness and crowding of ideas returned, time seemed
very long and full of events which he could not remember, impressions
received by sight were evanescent, finally oppressive warmth spread
