An interesting and significant if not always "scientific" examination of mesmerism with an additional authorial introduction to the 2nd Ed. Townshend's fascination with mesmeric phenomena sometimes obstructs his academic distance most especially when dealing with things like sleepwalking where his theorizing about "mesmeric somnambulism" has him leaping about all over the place. One of the appeals of mesmerism to the pseudoscientific enthusiast and a contributing factor to its pre-eminent popularity was the ability to apply it to nearly any phenomena and gain some result or other.
