  A Letter to the Right Honorable the Lord Chancellor, on the Nature and Interpretation of Unsoundness of Mind, and Imbecility of Intellect

summary:
  The commission which is usually termed a commission of lunacy, and which because it has that name, I observe many persons are extremely misled with respect to the nature of it, and which produced on a former occasion, with respect to this nobleman, a great mass of affidavits, in which they stated he was not an object of a commission of Lunacy.--I say that these words are not much understood.--The law acknowledges the state of idiotcy, and the state of lunacy, which properly understood, is a very different thing from that sort of unsoundness of mind which renders a man incapable of managing his affairs or his person.--And it has now been long settled, not that a commission of lunacy is to be issued; but that a commission is to issue in the nature of a writ de lunatico inquirendo, and then the object of the commission is perfectly satisfied, if the jury shall find upon satisfactory evidence, that the party is of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his own affairs.--The finding of him incapable of managing his own affairs, is not sufficient to authorize further proceedings, but there must be a finding that he is of _unsound_ mind, and unable to manage his affairs:--incapacity to manage his affairs being considered as evidence of The finding of him incapable of managing his own affairs, is not sufficient to authorize further proceedings, but there must be a finding that he is of _unsound_ mind, and unable to manage his affairs:--incapacity to manage his affairs, being considered as EVIDENCE of unsound mind.

  You'll be sorry to hear, Miller, he said--and the dull eyes moved difficultly to the anxious ones, and his voice was uninflected--you'll be sorry to know that the coroner's jury decided that Master Jack was a murderer. It's not any mere lawyers can make me believe that awful thing, sir, of our Master Jack.

summary:
  result, of an internal physical or intellectual disorder or defect, which is moreover susceptible of classification and of a psychological exposition, while in the former it was got up for the particular purpose of subjugation or of expulsion, and where consequently it was the result of _responsible_ perversity and malice, _susceptible of moral reprobation_. This act of rational self-recovery, whereby I constitute myself an existing idea, a person of legal and moral responsibility, _subverts the previous relation and puts an end to the injustice which I myself and the other party have done to my comprehension and to my reason, by treating and suffering to be treated the endless existence of self-consciousness as an external and an alienable object_.[2] [2] I emphasize this important clause for the particular benefit of those who in my personal history have had the absurd expectation that I should continue to entertain a respectful deference to a certain phase of religionism, which upon a careful and rational examination I found to be worthless and which is repugnant to my taste and better judgment, and of others who with equal absurdity are in the habit of exacting ecclesiastical tests (I will not say religious, for such men show by their very conduct that their enlightenment in matters of the religion of the heart is very imperfect) for academic

summary:
  If holiness is liable to become a disease, as they pretend to say it does, and man has found out how to give medicine to take away from a person what they call derangement and the agony is so great and then it leaves the person in a state of suffering here of body and without the spirit of Christ, a person must suffer forever, for out of Christ God is a consuming fire; but in Christ a person can bless and praise God amidst the burning flames. About 4 o'clock brother Stephen came in and asked me to go down and spend Thanksgiving with them, as he was up on business, and asked Nancy and brother James likewise.
