Columbian, below which on the last leaf of text is an autograph note dated May 18, 1815: "The gentleman of Cayuga who wrote the above piece, we are credibly inform'd, has since become converted, & is a firm Christian.

An early American case of somnambulism, probably a multiple personality. "An account of a 'sleep-talker' … who did just what the title says. She is depicted as a 'hale country lass of ninetee,' quite taciturn, who speaks with a heavy southern drawl. But when asleep she would deliver exhortations and prayers with a 'clear, harmonious voice.' The book describes her condition and gives an example of her preaching" [Crabtree].

"Martineau was one of the most unusual and influential women of nineteenth-century England. A powerful intellectual force in economics and social science, she first gained success through the publication of her Illustratons of Political Economy (1832 - 1834). In addition to writing prolifically on politics and economics, she was also a successful novelist and writer of children's stories. In 1844 Martineau was cured of a serious illness through animal magentism, and in this collection of her letters she discharges her 'duty' to make the truth about mesmerism known. She had known about mesmerism for some time, and when her illness became debilitatitng, a medical friend brought her to the famous mesmerist Spencer Hall, who was then lecturing at Newcastle. He mesmerized Martineau and the beneficial effects were immediate. Martineau first had her maid and then another woman mesmerize her regularly. After consistent treatment of this kind, Martineau recovered. During the mesmeric treatments, she often experienced powerful distortions of sensation which she describes in some detail in the letters" [Crabtree #522].

"An important source for understanding how practitioners of animal magnetism saw themselves in relationship to the occult and supernormal phenomena. In their experiments mesmerists encountered many phenomena that had traditionally been explained in occult or spiritis terms, and a number of mesmerists considered themselves the true inheritors of that tradition. While they believed the phenomena that occurred in the occult tradition to be genuine, because they themselves encountered similar phenomena, they strove to explain them in more 'naturalistic' terms. In this book Morin expresses this viewpoint and uses the findings of the magnetists to shed light on the true nature of ccult phenomena. The first half of the book is an exposition of animal magnetism and the many different forsm it has taken in practice. It includes an excellent study of somnambulism and somnambulistic clairvoyance. The second part takes up the 'occult sciences' and discusses such subjects as table trning, spiritualistic mediums, hallucinations, and the school of magnetic 'magic' founded by Du Potet" [Crabtree #831].

"Moutin believed that hypnotism and animal magnetism are two quite distinct phenomena operating in quite different ways. He writes appreciatively of Braid's work and the importance of his discoveries concerning the psychology of 'nervous sleep.' But he emphasizes that although in hpnotism the production of a state of sleep is essential for healing, in animal magnetism healing does not require a change of consciousness. Moutin also reviews effects he believes to be produced by animal magnetism that could not be accounted for by hypnotism, such as magnetic effects at a distance without the knowledge of the subject" [Crabtree 1183].

Crabtree Animal Magnetism, Early Hypnotism 296; Caillet 9909; Gauld History of Hypnotism, pp. 119 & 123. "A significant treatment of the theory and practice of animal magnetism by a man who adhered closely to Mesmer's approach and said little about somnambulism. The first volume describes in detail the techniques to be used … [and] contains an unusual and important section on the sensations experienced by the magnetizer when treating a patient and how those sensations may be interpreted as indications of procedures to be followed in the treatment. Montferrier claims that awareness of the utility of these subjective sensations goes all the way back to Mesmer, although this is the first detailed treatment of the subject in writing. The second volume begins with a theoretical and historical study of animal magnetism and ends with instructions about treating specific illnesses" [Crabtree].
A Paris mathematician, Sarrasin de Montferrier was one of the founders of the Société du Magnétisme de Paris, which began to meet informally in 1813 at the house of M. du Commun and which was formally constituted on 25th July 1815. From its beginning in 1814 Sarrazin de Montferrier edited the Annales du magnétisme animal, the first important French periodical devoted to animal magnetism. Using the pseudonym "de Lausanne," he wrote two books on animal magnetism, of which this is the second and much more important. The first was a popular exposition published in 1818 as a 56 page pamphlet. After his brief flurry of interest in animal magnetism in the teens he returned to publishing in mathematics and science.

An important book. Thouret's thorough study was the first to show that Mesmer's discoveries had in fact all already been stated by other authors. Most importantly, he showed the derivation of Mesmer's work from the English physician, Richard Mead. A member of the Royal Society of Medicine of Paris, Thouret was a leading opponent of Mesmer's theories. "Although Thouret had earlier displayed a generally positive attitude towards Mesmer's work, … he had become one of the leading critics of animal magnetism, which he rejected as an illusion. … [Thouret here showed] that theories similar to Mesmer's had been held by Paracelsus, Kircher, and Fludd, among others. Thouret's erudite history of Mesmer's predecessors had an effect opposite to what he intended: by giving mesmeric thought a legitimate past, it tended to affirm the convictions of adherents of animal magnetism" [Norman Catalog].

The seven editions chart the early history of the growth of psychotherapy out of hypnotism (after the 3rd edition titled Treatment by Hypnotism and Suggestion). "The first English medical man to adopt the Nancy form of treatment seems to have been C.

"Hearing of a man who had been cured of rheumatism by the shock of being in a railway accident, Tuke decided to devote his attention to the influence of the mind upon the body. The resultant work which contains numerous case illustrations, investigates the influence of the mind, the emotions, and the will on the nervous and muscular systems, and then takes up the influence of the mind on the body in the cure of disease. In a long discussion of the nature of imagination and its part in the process, Tuke compares the adherents of animal magnetism (mesmerism) to those who see purely psychological forces operating in magnetic healing" {Crabtree].

Not in Crabtree. I've been unable to determine precisely which text of Wienholt's Colquhoun translated, though from inernal evidence it has to be from around 1800. In any case the book is really as much Colquhoun's text as Wienholt's since the first 33 pages are devoted to the former's preface and introductory essay on somnambulism (with a brief biography of Wienholt), while pages 147-219 constitute Colquhoun's appendix and postscript. In addition Colquhoun has added numerous explanatory notes to Wienholt's text.
In his History of Hypnotism Gauld called Wienholt's Heilkraft des thierischen Magnetismus, published in three volumes between 1802 and 1806, "in many ways the most impressive book in the whole literature of animal magnetism" (p. 83).

The foundation text for the Emmanuel Movement, which McComb, Worcester, and Isador Coriat founded, Religion and Medicine "examines the nature of the subconscious mind and its place in the production of 'functional disorders.' Emphasis is placed on the value of hypnotism with suggestion as a treatment technique" Crabtree 1988 #1615. "This is the official history and teaching of the Emmanuel Movement, one of the earliest efforts in the twentieth century to integrate spiritual and psychological approaches to healing. Based on the initial effort of James Bisset Pratt with tuberculosis patients . . ., Emmanuel Church, Boston, began work with the emotionally disturbed in 1906. The movement perceived itself as part of the demand for a functional faith similar to Christian Science. Most of the book details theories of personality and healing" [Vande Kempe Psychology and Theology in Western Thought, 1672-1965 #514].
