Excerpt from Hallucinations: Or the Rational History of Apparitions, Visions, Dreams, Ecstasy, Magnetism, and Somnambulism
On a superficial view, we are surprised that Opinions which so strongly resemble each other should have acquired so much power, and are tempted to Inquire whether we are made up of error, the puppets of illusions; but looking deeper into the question, we perceive that they are but a deviation from the two great laws of our existence - the knowledge of God, and of ourselves.
