Caullet de Veaumore of Mesmer's 'Memoire sur la decouverte du
magnetisme animal'.<imprintFull>London: printed: and sold at

Early in his career, the German doctor Franz Mesmer (1734 1815)
became fascinated by the concept that the invisible natural forces
or 'magnetism' exerted by planets, minerals and animals (or humans)
could produce physical effects including healing. His influential
'discoveries' were highly controversial, and Mesmer tried
persistently but unsuccessfully to obtain scientific recognition
for his theory of 'animal magnetism'. This book, published in 1814,
was edited by Mesmer's friend J. C. Wolfart, also a medical doctor
and a former sceptic. Its scope goes far beyond the mere question
of healing individuals. Mesmer proposes a system that he claims
would both improve the physical and mental health of individuals
and promote the ethical ordering of society. Mesmer appeals to
future leaders to develop his blueprint of a more 'natural' and
balanced world order, based on his understanding of Enlightenment
science and his observations of human physiology, psychology,
education, government and justice.
