Spencer Timothy Hall (1812 1885) was a writer and practitioner of
mesmerism. He grew up in rural Nottinghamshire, apprenticed himself
to a printer, and in 1836 he started his own printing business. He
later became co-editor of the Sheffield newspaper The Iris, and
published several books describing the countryside. After watching
a demonstration of mesmerism in 1841 Hall became a practitioner
himself, demonstrating mesmerism throughout Britain and offering
treatment. His most famous patient was Harriet Martineau, who
became an enthusiastic supporter of the technique. This book, first
published in 1845, describes Hall's first encounter with mesmerism
and explains his decision to become a mesmerist. He discusses
thirty-four cases in which mesmerism apparently cured medical
problems and describes the treatment he gave to Harriet Martineau.
This fascinating book provides valuable insights into both the
practice and theory of mesmerism in the early Victorian period.
