8vo. pp. 2 p.l., 411. with half-title. woodcut ornaments. Uncut in original wrs. (spine chipped, front wr. slightly stained). Second Edition of this detailed set of case histories "discovering" artificial somnambulism (hypnosis). Inspired by Mesmer s Paris demonstrations in 1778, Puységur, despite a busy army career, opened his chateau at Busancy as a clinic, claiming to heal the sick through the power transferred to him by Mesmer. Puységur was Mesmer s most important disciple though the two eventually fell out over the question of artificial somnambulism. Blake p. 366. See Caillet I 2273.
