Joseph Ennemoser (1787 1854) was an Tyrolean doctor and scientist,
noted for his use of magnetism and hypnosis. He was a forerunner of
Freud in his belief in the connection between the mind and physical
health, and his interest in psychology led to investigations into
the paranormal. He became well known for his presentations about
magic, delusions and apparently supernatural occurrences. He
suggested that most of these phenomena appeared miraculous only
because of a lack of understanding of the laws of nature. The
History of Magic was published in Leipzig in 1844, and translated
into English in 1854 by William Howitt, a leading Spiritualist
writer. Volume 2 examines Germanic and medieval magic. Ennemoser
attempts to show how animal magnetism has been partially understood
throughout history, and relates it to scientific knowledge. The
editor, Mary Howitt, has added a collection of accounts of
supernatural events which illustrate the topics discussed.
