Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Insanity
Perhaps there may be a tinge of insanity in the thought, but a strong feeling that I ought to do so for the benefit of others, has caused me to write the following pages; and in them to record remembrances which, so far as I can judge, no less powerful motive could have bribed me to recall. I have sometimes laid down my pen, thinking that the idea of doing good was merely an old de lusion revived in another form, but it always returned, and would not be banished.
