"Written in 1903, just 60 years after the word 'hypnotism' was coined, this book explores the contemporary understanding of the nature, uses and dangers of the technique. Hypnotism has been practiced for many centuries, but it was in the mid-to-late 19th century that it became a particularly fashionable way to explore the human mind. Although understanding of the subject of hypnotism, mesmerism, and mind-reading has evolved considerably over subsequent years, this book remains a fascinating insight into a technique once thought to be at the forefront of medical science.
