1851 The Sanctuary of Spiritualism a Study of the Human Soul and of Its Relations with the Universe Through Somnambulism and Ecstasy
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Cahagnet was a furniture maker who wrote several works on Mesmerism, Spiritualism, Theosophy and Swedenborianism. One work he wrote was on Animal Magnetism and he also investigated the sue of drugs for spiritual purposes. This work concerns Cahagnet's experiments with somnambulists and spirit communications. This work concerns testimonies of sitters who are slightly skeptical towards Cahagnet and his experiments.
Translated into English by M Flinders Pearson. This is the first and only edition of this work which is undated, but has been dated from the copies held at the National Library of Scotland and Trinity College Dublin. A very scarce study, with only 4 copies held institutionally; all at legal deposit libraries.
