That condition of mind ,
in which the reflective ,
or all or a part of the affective powers ,
are either entirely wanting ,
or are manifested to the least possible extent .
2 .
Idiocy generally depends upon organic defects .
The most striking physical trait ,
and one seldom wanting ,
is the diminutive size of the head ,
particularly of the anterior superior portions ,
indicating a deficiency of the anterior lobes of the brain .
According to Gall ,
whose observations on this subject are entitled to great consideration ,
its circumference ,
measured immediately over the orbiter arch ,
and the most prominent part of the occipital bone ,
is between 11 �
and 14 �
inches .

See ,
on this subject ,
the learned work of Dr .
Morton ,
of Philadelphia *,
entitled Crania Americana .
The brain of an idiot equals that of a new born infant ;
that is ,
about one -
fourth ,
one -
fifth ,
or one -
sixth of the cerebral mass of an adult '
s in the enjoyment of his faculties .
The above is the only constant character .
observed in the heads of idiots .
In other respects their forms are as various as those of other persons .
When idiocy supervenes in early infancy ,
the head is sometime remarkable for immense size .
This unnatural enlargement arises from some kind of morbid action preventing the development of the cerebral mass ,
and producing serous cysts ,
dropsical effusions ,
and the like .
3 .
In idiocy the features are irregular ;
the forehead low ,
retreating ,
and narrowed to a point ;
the eyes are unsteady ,
and often squint the lips are .
thick ,
and the mouth is generally open ;
the gums are spongy ,
and the teeth are defective ;
the limbs are crooked and feeble .
The senses are usually entirely wanting ;
many are deaf and dumb ,
or blind and others are incapable of perceiving odors ,
and show little or no discrimination in their food for want of taste .
Their movements are constrained and awkward ,
they walk badly ,
and easily fall ,
and are not less awkward with their hands ,
dropping generally what is given to them .
They are seldom able to articulate beyond a few sounds .
They are generally affected with rickets ,
epilepsy ,
scrofula ,
or paralysis .
Its subjects seldom live beyond the twenty -
fifth year ,
and are incurable ,
as there is natural deformity which cannot be remedied .
