Early in his career, the German doctor Franz Mesmer became fascinated by the concept that the invisible natural forces or 'magnetism' exerted by planets, minerals & animals could produce physical effects including healing. His influential 'discoveries' were highly controversial, & Mesmer tried unsuccessfully to obtain scientific recognition for his theory of 'animal magnetism'. This book, published in 1814, was edited by Mesmer's friend J.C. Wolfart, also a medical doctor & a former sceptic. Its scope goes far beyond the mere question of healing individuals. Mesmer proposes a system that he claims would both improve the physical & mental health of individuals & promote the ethical ordering of society. Mesmer appeals to future leaders to develop his blueprint of a more 'natural' & balanced world order, based on his understanding of Enlightenment science & his observations of humans.
