Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facts in Mesmerism, or Animal Magnetism: With Reasons for a Dispassionate Inquiry Into It But I am insensibly converting a letter to you into an address to the general reader, and I perceive I have so far extended a dedication as to render a preface unnecessary. For this service, at least, let me thank you. I have always thought prefaces very troublesome things to write. And are they not, in fact, pieces of falseness throughout? Standing first, though written last - expressing a humility which the author does not feel -and claiming the especial attention of every body, while it is a wonder if they are read by any body. I therefore not unwillingly take this opportunity of making my introductory bow to the Public, while at the same time I beg you to believe me, my dear sir.

'To every form of being is assign d An active principle: --howe'er remov'd From sense and observation, it subsists In all things, in all natures, in the stars Of azure heaven, the unenduring clouds, In flower and tree, in every pebbly stone That paves the brooks, the stationary rocks, The moving waters, and the invisible air." Wordsworth. sect. I. the mesmeric medium. Having, as I trust, shown the conformity of mesmerism, in all essential points, with the principles of nature and the inferences of reason, I now proceed to exhibit it in connection with such a cause as its peculiar manifestations indicate and demand. First, I affirm that, productive of the effects called mesmeric, there is an action of matter as distinct and specific as that of light, heat, electricity, or any other of the imponderable agents, as they are called;--that, when the mesmeriser influences his patient, he does this by a medium, either known already in another guise, or altogether new to our experience, T What proofs, it will be asked, can I bring forward of this assertion? I answer, such proofs as are considered available in all cases where an impalpable imponderable medium is to be considered; facts, namely, or certain appearances, which, bearing a peculiar character, irresistibly suggest a peculiar cause. Let us take only one of these. Standing at some yards distant from a person who is in the mesmeric state (that person being perfectly stationary, and with his back to me), I, by a slight motion of my hand (far too slight to be felt by the patient, through any disturbance of the air), draw him towards me, as if I actually grasped him. What is the chain of facts which is here presented to me? First, an action of my mind, without which I could not...

Download or read book Edgar Allan Poe Selected Poetry and Tales written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and poems are among the most haunting and indelible in American literature, but critics for decades persisted in seeing Poe as an anomaly, or even an anachronism. His works, with their bizarrely motivated characters and mysterious settings, did not seem to be a part of the literature of early nineteenth-century America. Critics realize now, though, that Poe was even more a part of the contemporary American literary scene than many of his more “nationalistic” peers, and that in much of his work Poe was making commentaries on slavery and Southern social attitudes, technology, the urban landscape, political economy, and other subjects. This Broadview Edition includes a selection of Poe’s poems, tales, and sketches in such diverse modes of writing as tales of the supernatural and psychic conflict, satires and hoaxes, science fiction and detective fiction, and nonfiction essays on literary and social topics. These are supplemented by a selection of contextual documents—newspaper and magazine articles, treatises, and other historical texts—that will help readers understand the social, literary, and intellectual milieus in which Poe wrote.

Download or read book Victorian Literary Mesmerism written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Literary Mesmerism examines the engagement between literature and mesmerism in Victorian writing. Drawing on recent trends in interdisciplinary literary scholarship the essays collected here investigate the complex connections between scientific mesmerism, its manifestations in the Victorian social and cultural world, and the literary imagination. Here, for the first time, the varied themes and contexts shaped by mesmeric practices are brought together in one volume. Mesmerism’s influence on phrenology, medicine and mental health; its interaction with the occult and with communication technologies; the effects of mesmeric principles on gender and sexuality, as well as on criminal behaviour, are all set within the context of literary texts that interrogate and critique mesmerism’s influence on the Victorians. This volume will be of interest, therefore, to scholars of Victorian literature and the history of science, as well as to those interested in cultural history with a focus on gender, sexuality, and sciences of the mind.
