Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Franz Friedrich Anton Mesmer  1734-1815] was a German doctor who theorized the existence of a natural energy transference occurring between all animated and inanimate objects; what he called \u003cem\u003eanimal magnetism\u003c\/em\u003e, later also referred to as \u003cem\u003emesmerism. \u003c\/em\u003e Mesmer's theory attracted a wide following between about 1780 and 1850 and continued to have some influence thereafter. 1843 the Scottish doctor James Braid proposed the term \u003cem\u003ehypnosis\u003c\/em\u003e for a technique derived from animal magnetism; today the word \"mesmerism\" generally functions as a synonym of \"hypnosis\". This publication is a reprint of the first English translation in 1948 of Mesmer's historic \u003cem\u003eMemoire sur la Decouverte du Magnetisme Animal\u003c\/em\u003e to appear in English. It was originally published in French in 1779.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Anton Mesmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684224160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684224166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Franz Anton Mesmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978352492799,"sku":"9781684224166","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1aa1775b-30fb-431c-9321-496fc38566f9.jpg?v=1683241064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mesmerism-franz-anton-mesmer-9781684224166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
