“James Tilly Matthews (1770 – 10 January 1815) was a British merchant of Welsh and Huguenot descent who was committed to the Bethlem Royal Hospital in 1797 after developing politically charged delusions which led him to disrupt sessions of the House of Commons of Great Britain…
Matthews believed that a gang of criminals and spies skilled in pneumatic chemistry were tormenting him by means of rays emitted by a machine called the ‘Air Loom.’”
