Esquirol, in reference to such cases, speaks of patients losing their personal identity. But this sense is, in reality, no mote lost than when the delusion has regard to some extraneous object. In fact, Brown draws one of his strongest arguments in favour of the universality of the consciousness of personal identity from the fact, that “even the very maniac, who conceives that he was yesterday emperor of the moon, believes that he is to-day the very person who had yesterday that empire.”—(Philosoplzy of the Human Mind, p. 83.)Google Scholar
