AGITATION is reputed one of the symptoms of inspiration. Petit informs us †, that, in the last century, there arose in a church in Italy, for the space of a year, a vapour of an extraordinary kind, which put all the people into trembling and agitations, and unless they got away betimes, let them a dancing, with strange contortions and gesticulations. This seems to verify what has been related of the temple of Delphi.
