"An important source for understanding how practitioners of animal magnetism saw themselves in relationship to the occult and supernormal phenomena. In their experiments mesmerists encountered many phenomena that had traditionally been explained in occult or spiritis terms and a number of mesmerists considered themselves the true inheritors of that tradition. While they believed the phenomena that occurred in the occult tradition to be genuine because they themselves encountered similar phenomena they strove to explain them in more 'naturalistic' terms. In this book Morin expresses this viewpoint and uses the findings of the magnetists to shed light on the true nature of ccult phenomena. The first half of the book is an exposition of animal magnetism and the many different forsm it has taken in practice. It includes an excellent study of somnambulism and somnambulistic clairvoyance. The second part takes up the 'occult sciences' and discusses such subjects as table trning spiritualistic mediums hallucinations and the school of magnetic 'magic' founded by Du Potet" Crabtree #831.

John Morin Scott 1789-1858 grandson of the Revolutionary War leader of the same name was a mayor of Philadelphia.

"Morin. . . had spent much time undertaking research into problems of mechanics and between 1833 and 1835 he had submitted a number of important memoirs to the Academy of Sciences. These memoirs presented the results of a series of carefully executed experiments on friction which he began planning in 1829. Due to the complicated experimental apparatus used built under the supervision of Poncelet the experiments only began in May 1831. They then continued without interruption until September of that year when funds given for the research were used up. The results confirmed and extended Coulomb's work on friction verifying its three general laws: friction is proportional to the normal force exerted; friction depends upon the nature of the surfaces in contact but is independent of the area of contact; and within large limits friction is independent of velocity. He also devised an apparatus to study the laws of falling bodies. It consisted of a cylinder rotating beside the falling body set up in such a way that a marker on the falling body describes a curve on the cylinder. He was able to give an accurate experimental proof of Galileo's result that distances travelled by a falling body increase as the square of the times. In 1849 Morin working with Poncelet invented the dynamometer of rotation which together with later refinements became the basic investigative tool in the study of work. He had already published work on dynamometers in Notice sur divers appareils dynamometriques Paris 1841 a work which describes the recording mechanism onto paper as well as describing a mechanical integrator used so that results of longer experiments could be read off directly. His results on mechanics were all published in the five volume work Lecons de mecanique pratique a l'usage des auditeurs des cours du Conservatoire des arts et metiers 1846-1853. Joseph Bennett made an English translation under the title Fundamental ideas of mechanics and experimental data which was published in 1860." "The teaching of mechanics at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers had begun in 1819 and other theoretical subjects had been introduced in the 1820s. As professor of mechanics Morin who never renounced his army commission drew heavily on the theoretical and practical work of his friend and teacher Poncelet and of other military officers. He also used the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers to promote a two-way flow of theory and practice between the military and private industry. Morin was Professor of Mechanics for ten years and then in 1849 he became Director of the Conservatoire. He served in this leading role for 30 years and greatly improved the efficiency and influence of the Conservatoire. One of his greatest achievements was opening the first teaching laboratory of engineering in 1852." Morin's works include: Nouvelles experiences sur le frottement faites a Metz en 1831 1832 Experiences sur les roues hydrauliques a axe vertical appelees turbines 1838 Experiences sur le tirage des voitures faites en 1837 et 1838 1839 Notice sur divers appareils dynamometriques 1841 Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers.

Manuel pratique du chauffage et de la ventilation 1868. His work on ventilation made him a leading world expert on the topic and he used this knowledge in undertaking research into carbon monoxide in rooms heated by iron stoves in 1869 and research into the preservation of flour in 1870.

189100007755Paris: Librairie L. Conquet 1891. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Small 12mo. 10 51 9 pp. Bound by the well-known French artisan and bookbinder Leon Gruel in red Morocco top edge gilt. Stylized gilt borders and gilt rules on the boards gilt lettering and decorations on the spine red fabric with floral design on endpapers and matching fabric used on the pastedowns surrounded by elaborate gilt designed border on red Morocco with a light blue silk bookmark bound in. Vignette title page in color along with a frontispiece and eleven plates and numerous decorations all by the author. This is the publisher's presentation issue on vellum paper signed by publisher and bookseller Leon Conquet with his indication that this copy is for Monsieur Legrand. This almost certainly was the well-known French illustrator Louis Legrand. Legrand moved to Paris in 1884 and began studying printmaking with the Belgian artist Felicien Rops who was under exclusive contract to Conquet from 1883 to 1885. Conquet's bookshop in Paris was a kind of salon for Parisian bibliophiles and illustrators and Conquet Rops Morin and Legrand would have been well-acquainted by the time of this book's publication in 1891. Although there are no other ownership markings the foregoing and Conquet's eschewal of using initials or a first name to identify the intended recipient suggests that there was only one person named Legrand who could be the intended recipient of a presentation copy of this book Louis Legrand himself See W. Z. Silverman The New Bibliopolis for illuminating discussion of each of these individuals and the Parisian book world during this era. A beautiful copy of this wonderful confluence of associations in the world of late 19th century French book arts and illustration. A Near Fine book with offsetting from the bound in bookmark on pages 22 - 23 where it presumably laid for many years and a faint dampstain on the front flyleaf but otherwise a clean and attractive example.
