 * 1845, (translator),  (author), A Grammar of the Latin Language, : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, chapter LXXIV: “Ablative Case”, page 345:
 * Some cases in which the ablative is used, and which are commonly considered as ablativi modi, are in reality of a different kind: hac mente, hoc consilio feci, for example, should rather be called ablativi causae; navi vehi, pedibus ire, pervenire aliquo, capite onera ferre, vi urbes expugnare, on the other hand, are ablativi instrumenti, but they acquire the nature of an ablativus modi, if the substantive is joined with an adjective, as magna vi irruere, magna vi defendere aliquem, or they become ablatives absolute, implying a description; e. g. nudis pedibus ambulare, processit madenti coma, composito capillo, gravibus oculis, fluentibus buccis, pressa voce et temulenta.

 * Such readers could think that CAUSE would be a better label. Perhaps they are influenced in their classification by their knowledge of Latin grammar where the ablativus causae, which often occurs together with passive verbs, is usually considered to be a subcategory of the ablativus instrumenti.
