1. An unfounded notion; belief in an un- 
reality ; a baseless or distorted conception. 
This must have been the halhicinatitm of the transcriber 
who probably mistook the dash of the I for a T. Addison. 
2. In pathol. &n<\psychol., the apparent percep- 
tion of some external thing to which no real 
object corresponds. The mistaking of a bush for a 
bear in the dark is not hallucination, but only illusion ; 
but the hearing of a voice when no sensible acoustic vibra- 
tions strike the ear is a very common hallucination. Hal- 
lucination may be of sight only, or of hearing only, or of 
both together. It may be consistent with perfect sanity 
and the absence of any false belief, and may even become 
an object of observation and study to the person affected. 
For if vision be abolished, it is called Ciecitas, or blind- 
ness; if depraved, and receive its objects erroneously,
