Soul Care Publishing Mesmerism by Franz Anton Mesmer Translated by V R Myers Introduction by G F Frankau
In 1779 Franz Anton Mesmer wrote an 88page book Mémoire sur la découverte du magnétisme animal to which he appended his famous 27 Propositions. While undertaking research G.F. Frankau obtained on loan from a private library an original edition of Mesmers Mémoire sur la découverte de Magnétism Animal. Realising its medicohistorical importance and tempted by a laymans vanity to undertake the translation himself he eventually decided that the task could only be accomplished by an expert; He secured the services of Captain V. R. Myers of the Berlitz School of Languages. Myers rendering of the eighteenthcentury French is highly praiseworthy.
