“Plants his siege
Against the mind, the which he pricks and wounds
With many legions of strange fantasies,
Which, in their throng and press to that last hold,
Confound themselves.”
CONCLUSION.
CHAPTER XVI.
CONCLUSION.
It has been my aim to conduct the preceding discussion in so plain and direct a manner, that its lessons of instruction and warning, if it has any, shall be readily appreciated by the reader. It will not, therefore, be necessary to add chapters filled with specific directions how to avoid insanity.
Some remarks, of a somewhat desultory character, concerning some branches of the subject will comprise this closing chapter.
