=ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING TO MESMERISM.= Part I. By the
REV. S. R. MAITLAND, DD. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the late
Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.
"One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever
read."--_Morning Herald._
"This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a larger
work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._
"A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the
practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._
"Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the
'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or wrong.
We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and hope that
he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London Medical
Gazette._
"The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say important.
That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most successful we
ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this brief notice; but
we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to those who care
nothing about Mesmerism, or _angry_ (for it has come to this at last)
with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._
"We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by one
whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the genuine
character of Mesmerism, which is so much disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter
Gazette._
"Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the subject for
many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part the result of his
thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in it which we should
have been glad to quote ... but we content ourselves with referring
our readers to the pamphlet itself."--_Brit. Mag._
