190782225New York: Harper & Brothers 1907. First Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's ribbed maroon cloth titled in gilt to spine and front board. iii 336pp. Minor wear and scuffing to extremities bumping to spine ends a little rubbing of the gilt to the spine panel a good strong copy. Top edge gilt. Internally clean edges untrimmed a little light toning to prelims. Brentano's bookseller label to rear pastedown. Essentially an examination of the usefulness of hypnotism and suggestive medicine in treating mental health issues although Quackenbos characterizes them as moral and emotional issues. As with his previous work he has something of a preoccupation with using hypnosis to "correct" moral or behavioral variations or deviations which is pretty obviously a slippery slope and entirely dependent on how one defines a moral or emotional deviation. His interpretation of states is interesting he has more of a focussed of observance on the differing levels or states of hypnotic trance and his use of "transliminal" states to designate grades of altered consciousness was actually for the time a very interesting concept seeing as many exponents of hypnosis didn't differentiate so specifically between variations in trance state. His development of hypnotism as a technique for getting people to behave and not rock the boat however is one that brings up a wriggling mass of potential ethical and moral worms.

194882223Los Angeles: Powers Institute of Hypnotism 1948. Octavo. 21.5cm.

Internally clean although printed very cheaply with the darkness of the type fading in and out occasionally. <br /> <br /> An early example of one of the legendary Melvin Powers mail order self help guides; Powers began selling books mail order when he was 16 and built one of the earliest of the 20th century mail order behemoths with titles on hypnotism and mesmerism fringe sciences songwriting self-improvement and indeed anything he thought he could build a market for. Aside from his hypnotism titles and somewhat off topic Powers was the man responsible for introducing affordable paperbacksdealing with subjects like horse-riding having observed that the majority of books on horse-riding training etc. were pricey hardbacks beyond the pockets of most horse enthusiasts.

Publisher's original cream card wraps titled in red and black to spine and front wrap with a black and white photographic image of a young woman in a state of trance. 155pp 3pp ads.

Almost completely unopened. <br /> <br /> Photographic illustrations and and technical diagrams throughout. <br /> Völgyesi a Hungarian psychotherapist and hypnotist apparently discovered his ability to hypnotize both people and animals at the age of 17 and during WW1 when faced with a lack of anaesthetic he provided hypnotic analgesia to patients during operations. A significant part of his hypnotic skill however was directed not at human beings but at animals with Volgyesi reputedly being able to put lions and tigers into a trance state and to have calmed a crocodile using only his powers of suggestion. He ran a particularly successful clinic in Budapest and possibly most interestingly was employed freelance by the Hungarian authorities in order to analyse and "cure" the mental illnesses of criminals in an effort to reduce recidivism. This work expounds on many of Vogyesi's theories surrounding hypnotic curative methods and also has the added bonus of photographic images of the good doctor hypnotising lion cubs.

82975Paris: Librairie Fischbacher n.d. First Edition. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's buff limp card wraps titled in black to spine and front wrap. 180pp. Some light edgewear and discoloration of the wraps with some minor creasing to the lower edge of the front cover internally clean edges untrimmed. A very good neat little copy. <br /> <br /> A "Hypnotism for All" course of instruction and education expanding presumably for purposes of marketing beyond the boundaries of embryonic hypnotherapy and just falling short of being a primer for a stage act with its enthusiastic jumbling together of hypnotism and spiritualism alongside the rather vague catch all of "Fakirism." What it perhaps lacks in mesmeric integrity it more than makes up for with rampant enthusiasm providing tuition in such areas as inducing hallucinations and nightmares in subjects taking control of subjects while they are asleep a chapter on the dangers of hypnotism and the final 20 or so leaves are essentially advertisements for course compnents ranging from self hypnosis to an elaborate course teaching the mysterious "passes" or mesmeric gestures of skilled practitioners although at the time of the course's popularity the majority of mainstream mesmeric knowledge had rejected most belief in this rather out of date method. The prices of some of the course components have been added by hand. A dense introduction to a rather confused and multi-disciplinary brand of suggestion that rather feels like the author met Sydney Blanchard Flower and thought "This chap is onto something here!" It has a distinctly Chicago Flowers/Parkyn feel to it albeit adapted to a French audience. Librairie Fischbacher unknown
