Extract
An old teacher of mine, in days gone by, used frequently to remark in his lectures on Logic that the test of accurate knowledge is the ability to give an exact and comprehensive definition. Now, if this criterion were applied to us, alienists, in regard to the subject we are supposed to know most about, the result would, I fear, be somewhat disastrous, and not at all likely to shed lustre on our speciality.
