Couverture souple. Condizione: Bon. Edition originale. ---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- EXEMPLAIRE NON ROGNE ET BROCHE DANS SA COUVERTURE MUETTE DE L'EPOQUE ---- Londres, 1781, un volume in 8, BROCHE, COUVERTURE MUETTE DE L'EPOQUE, (légèrement défraîchie), (5), 229pp. ---- EN FRANCAIS DANS LE TEXTE N° 171 : "Les écrits de MESMER sur le magnétisme animal permettent "de prendre la mesure d'une pratique révolutionnaire dont les prolongements aux siècles suivants furent essentiels. Du somnambulisme provoqué à l'hypnose et à la psychanalyse, l'expérience contemporaine de la psychiatrie dynamique, la découverte de l'inconscient et la guérison par l'esprit trouvent leur origine dans l'audace autoritaire et maladroite des intuitions du précurseur Mesmer" ---- Norman N° M14 : "This documentary history of mesmerism appears to have been edited by Eslon from an outline in German prepared by Mesmer, which was afterwards destroyed. Among the documents reproduced here are official correspondence between Mesmer, the Académie des Sciences and the Société Royale de Médecine ; records of negotiations between Mesmer and the French government regarding the proposed establishment of a mesmerist clinic ; Mesmer's letter of refusal to Queen Marie Antoinette, etc. The work "set the tone of injured innocence and opposition to the scientific establishment that was to characterize mesmerist writing" (Darnton Mesmerism p. 50) ---- "Mesmer promoted his system of treatment, based on this confused doctrine of a universal magnetic fluid influencing tides and men alike, with books and great personal showmanship. His treatment became such a popular health care sensation in France that it was as much a social movement as a medical practice. The Ancien régime considered the leaders of the animal magnetism movement to be politically dangerous. The attention Mesmer directed toward hypnosis and suggestion in psychiatry led eventually to its scientific investigation by Braid and others. It also led to the more scientific development of suggestion in treatment, which has been termed after him "mesmerism". Following an enquiry instituted by Louis XVI, Mesmer's carrer came to an abrupt end". (cf.

A Geneve, et se trouve à Paris, Chez P. Fr. Didot le Jeune, Librairie-Imprimeur de Monsieur, 1779. (2), vi, 85, (1) pp. 8vo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine elaborately gilt in compartments (corners lightly bumped). Printing and the Mind of Man, 225; En Français dans le Texte, 171; Garrison-Morton 4992.1; Grolier 100 'Medicine', 47; Norman M4. The very rare first edition. Discussing and describing one of the best-remembered 'alternative' medicines of all time. Mesmer maintained 'that a magnetic fluid pervades the universe, exists in every living being, and affects the nervous system. Experimenting with the use of his "magnetism" he found that there was a healing magnetic power in his own hands and that he could obtain results in treating nervous disorders without a magnet, a faculty which he called ''animal magnetism''' (PMM). Whilst 'Mesmerism' in its own right was discredited, Mesmer's theories laid the foundation for hypnosis and suggestion theories. Indeed Mesmer himself induced sleep, known as 'Mesmeric sleep' which term was used before James Braid coined the term 'hypnosis'. 'Since his time the investigation of how to release subconscious states through auto- and hetero-suggestion has continued, and the whole field of extra-sensory perception and spiritualism has affinity with mesmerism [as does] the development of psychoanalysis' (PMM).Mesmer lived for some time in a comfortable town house in Vienna before he moved to Paris, where he had enough time and money to indulge his passion for music. He was well befriended with the Mozarts and Mozart's first opera, Bastien und Bastienne took place in Mesmer's garden, and Mozart later made room for mesmerism in a scene in Cosi fan tutte.But there is another side to this book as well, a political side. 'The crashing failure of the Social Contract, Rousseau's least popular book before the Revolution, raises a problem for scholars searching for the radical spirit in the 1780's: if the greatest political treatise of the age failed to interest many literate Frenchmen, what form of radical ideas did suit their tastes? One such form appeared in the unlikely guise of animal magnetism or mesmerism. Mesmerism aroused enormous interest during the pre-revolutionary decade; and although it had originally no relevance whatsoever to politics, it became, in the hands of radical mesmerists like Nicolas Bergasse and Jacques-Pierre Brissot, a camouflaged political theory very much like Rousseau's' (R. Darnton, Mesmerism and the End of the Enlightenment in France, Boston, 1968). - Some light marginal browning.…
