Ebook Hallucinations

M. Brierre de Boismont treats the important and hitherto neglected subject of hallucination in various points of view, in asmuch as it bears important relations to philosophy, medicine, religion, history, morality, and jurisprudence. The apparitions of Holy Writ are handled with the reverence befitting a Christ ian, whilst much light is thrown on the probable origin of the hallucinations of many celebrated personages whose characters and actions were so exalted as to place them apparently above humanity.
