Spiritualism And Animal Magnetism - George Zerffi Gustavus

""Spiritualism and Animal Magnetism"" is a comprehensive treatise on various psychic and spiritual phenomena that were widely discussed in the late 19th century. Written by Gustavus George Zerffi and first published in 1871, this book explores topics such as dreams, second sight, somnambulism, magnetic sleep, spiritual manifestations, hallucinations, and spectral visions. The author delves into the history, theories, and practices associated with each of these phenomena, drawing on both scientific and metaphysical perspectives. Zerffi also examines the role of animal magnetism, a concept popularized by Franz Mesmer in the 18th century, in inducing and controlling these states of consciousness. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural milieu of the Victorian era, when spiritualism and mesmerism were at the forefront of scientific and philosophical inquiry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
