A passionate defence of Mesmerism, a kind of hypnosis based on the theory of animal magnetism, first published in 1840 by one of its most prominent nineteenth-century practitioners, a friend of Dickens. Townshend includes eye-witness accounts of hypnotic experiments, both from the subject's and the Mesmeriser's viewpoint.
