An important book in which Puységur first systematically articulated much of his thinking about the essentially psychological nature of animal magnetism, which he was the first to comprehend. "Puységur quickly moved away from Mesmer's physica list explanation for the action of the magnetizer. Instead of speaking about the mechanical ebb and flow of a fluid composed of indefinitely small particles, Puységur concentrated on the psychological side of the process focusing on the action of the mag netizer's will in producing animal magnetic effects, saying that the 'vital fluid of magnetism' was directed to the patient's body by the magnetizer's will. He eventually took the position that whether or not magnetic fluid existed made no practical diff erence in the application of animal magnetism. If the will is the crucial faculty in employing animal magnetism, then good will must be an essential quality in the practitioner. Puységur insisted from the beginning that the magnetizer have as his sole pu rpose the good of the patient" [Adam Crabtree, "The Transition to Secular Psychotherapy: Hypnosis and the Paradigm of Alternate Consciousness" In Wallace & Gach, Encylopedic Handbook for the History of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology (Spri nger, 2007)].

Reports on Puységur's work with Victor Race. "Puységur's discovery of artificial somnambulism [described and named in the 1784 edition] started a whole new trend in the pratice of animal magnetism, shifting the emphasis from the physical to t he psychological. The alteration in consciousness between the state of magnetic sleep and the normal waking state,w ith its attendant amnesia, revealed, within human beings, a double or divided consciousness with two memory chains. This revelation opened up a new line of investigation that would eventually lead to the psychological concepts of the 'subconscious,' the 'subliminal self,' and the 'unconscious' in the latter part of the nineteenth century" [Crabtree].

Puységur, who discovered magnetic somnambulism, more or less began the revival of interest in animal magnetism in France in 1807 with the publication of his Du magnetisme animal, a revised edition of which he brought out in 1809. Though the book received a number of favorable reviews, J. B. Salgues published a hostile article about it in the Mercure de France for 12 Feb 1810, to which Puységur responded in the present book, which Gauld terms "perhaps his most ambiti ous work." Puységur argues here that a "patient's best hope of cure lies in becoming himself or herself a clairvoyant somnambule. ... Magnetic somnambulism, Puységur holds, differs from natural somnambulism only in that magnetic somnambules are always mo re or less under the influence of their magnetizers. Otherwise the two conditions are the same." Basically, he pooh-poohed the importance of a magnetic fluid, "though he certainly believed that the action of a magnetizer on a patient has some kind of phy sical basis, a basis which he likes to compare to mineral magnetism. For Puységur "thought and will are always primary: that is all the magnetizer needs to know." [Gauld A History of Hypnotism, pp. 112-113]. As Crabtree has argued in print ( and to me privately as well), Puységur is, after Mesmer, the most important figure in the history of animal magnetism/hypnotism, for it was he who first understood the essentially psychological nature of the mesmeric trance and of somnambulism.

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 an imal 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].

Double-paneled green cloth with gilt-stamped spine and glazed dark b rown endpapers. Slight cover spotting and light rubbing to the joints & edges, a very good copy with early owner's ink signature to the blank opposite the title-page. Very scarce.

"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, in vestigates 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 pr ocess, Tuke compares the adherents of animal magnetism (mesmerism) to those who see purely psychological forces operating in magnetic healing" {Crabtree].

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.

Wolfart set up a fancy salon in Berlin with two large baquets of his own design, which "became a weighty factor in Berlin social and intellectual life. Fich te visited it. Wolfart treated Schleiermacher, Wilhelm and Carolne von Humboldt, and the wife and brother of State Chancellor Hardenberg. ... Wolfart was appointed a full professor, and a state-subsidized clinic for the magnetic treatment of the poor was set up under his direction. ...
