The will is affected by disease in two ways.
I. When it acts without a motive, by a kind of involuntary power. Exactly the same thing takes place in this disease of the will, that occurs when the arm or foot is moved convulsively without 262 ON THE DISEASES an act of the will, and even in spite of it. The understanding, in this convulsed state of the will, is in a sound state, and all its operations are per- formed in a regular manner. When the will be- comes the involuntary vehicle of vicious ...actions, through the instrumentality of the passions, I have called it MORAL DERANGEMENT. For a more particular account of this moral disease in the will, the reader is again referred to a printed lec- ture, delivered by the author in the University of Pennsylvania, in November, 1810, upon the study of Medical Jurisprudence, in which the morbid operations of the will are confined to two acts, viz. Murder and theft. I have selected those two symptoms of this disease (for they are not vices) from its other morbid effects, in order to rescue persons affected with them from the arm of the law, and to render them the subjects of the kind and lenient hand of medicine.
