Winslow "recognized the existence of partial insanity and monomation (that is, delusions without other signs, such as disorientation and hallucinations), but he did not equate the two mental conditions. He was also adamant in his rejection of the existence of delusion as a test for insanity; in fact, he believed that no single test was available and that the lunatic's mental state could be assessed only within the context of its own history" [Colaizzi Homicidal Insanity, 1800-1985, p. 40]. Winslow concluded that no legal test for insanity existed. It was largely due to Winslow's influence that the insanity plea came to be frequently used in Great Britain.
