	[BAILLY, JEAN SYLVAIN (1736-1793), ED], Rapport des commissaires charges par le roi, de l'examen du magnetisme animal. BOUND WITH [Poissoinier, Pierre Isaac, et al.]. Rapport des commissaires de la Societe Royale de Medecine, nommes par le Roi pour faire l'examen du magnetisme animal. Paris: les Marchands de Nouveautes, 1784. 4 volumes bound in 1. [2]+66pp. Twentieth century 1/2 ocher leather with cloth-covered boards and gilt-stamped spine. Joints and edges lightly rubbed and slight foxing, else a near fine copy. Scarce. First octavo edition and the second printing of the Franklin report. "In the spring of 1784 the French government, no longer able to ignore the challenges to established medicine and politics posed by Mesmer and his followers, appointed two separate commissions to investigate animal magnetism, the first consisting of nine members -- five from the Academie des Sciences, four from the Faculte de Medecine -- and the second composed of five members of the Societe Royale de Medecine. The first commission, presided over by Benjamin Franklin (then the United States' Ambassador to France), decided to investigate animal magnetism as practiced by Eslon, since Eslon, unlike Mesmer, welcomed an official inquiry" [Norman Catalog #124]. Crabtree #31; Norman Catalog M125 (this copy with a variant ornament of a shield without the two cherubs in the Norman copy). 10.0 ounces = 285 grams. 8.0 x 5.0 x 0.6 inches = 20 x 12.5 x 1.5cm. The reports of both Royal Commissions along with Bailly's summary of the Faculty's report and d'Eslon's spirited critique of both reports, in which he condemned their prohibition against the practice of animal magnetism. A nice collection of the most important documents relating to the reports of the two commissions, the highly negative conclusions of which destroyed Mesmer's scientific pretensions for animal magnetism, consigning it to fringe science for several generations, until it reemerged in the mid-19th century as a slightly more respectable hypnotism. Very controversial, the reports stimulated for years the publication of pamphlets and books defending or excoriating their negative conclusions. Binding: HB.

	BARETY, A, Des proprietes physiques d'une force particuliere du corps humain (force neurique rayonnante) connue vulgairement sous le nom de magnetisme animal. Contribution a l'etude des proprietes du systeme nerveux. Extrait de la Gazette Medicale de Paris, annee 1881. Paris: Doin & Lechevalier, 1882. 1st separate Edition. 40pp. Pamphlet, stitched. Edges quite chipped, first leaf detached, a good copy. Scarce. From Adam Crabtree's collection. Crabtree 1051: "Barety posits the existence of a 'neuric force' produced in the nervous system and radiating from the body in three areas; the eyes, the ends of the fingers, and the lungs. According to Barety, the dynamic form of this force circulates through the body and others transmit it. The force may radiate over distances from a few centimeters to many meters, and, depending on the power of the radiation and the senstitivity of the receptor, it may be sensed by individuals in the vicinity. Barety equated his 'neuric force' with Mesmer's animal magnetism." 2.0 ounces = 57 grams. 9.8 x 6.4 x 0.1 inches = 24.5 x 16 x 0.2cm. Binding: PB.

Avec des pensees sur le mouvement. Hague: no publisher, 1784. 1st Edition. 149+[1]pp. Contemporary marbled wrappers. A very good copy. Quite uncommon. Crabtree #36; Caillet 979 (citing the Hague imprint); not in the Norman Catalog; Tinterow p. 18; Blake p. 42; Wellcome II, p. 147. 9.0 ounces = 256 grams. 8.4 x 5.2 x 0.5 inches = 21 x 13 x 1.3cm. A lawyer, Bergasse was a key figure in the spread of Mesmerism. When Mesmer felt threatened by D'Eslon in 1782, Bergasse and the financier Kornmann formulated the plan to found the Societe de l'Harmonie. The idea worked, succeeding in enriching Mesmer and in creating a broad base of support for Mesmerism. It is in this book that Bergasse expounds his mesmerically-founded philosophical theory. The book angered Mesmer and resulted in Bergasse leaving the society. Binding: PB.

	BERNHEIM, HIPPOLYTE (1840-1919), Autograph Letter signed, postmarked 14 janvier 1887, to Edgar Berillon. Nancy: [1887]. 12mo. 1 page, 12 lines written on a "Carte-Lettre." Browned, else near fine. Scarce. In our experience Bernheim letters are uncommon. Written to Berillon as editor of the Revue d'Hypnotisme. Bernheim writes that he is sending Berillon an article for the Revue in which he views the question of hypnotic influence and its degrees in a new light. Norman Catalog 212. Weight: 0.1 ounces = 3 grams. Size: 5.7 x 4.5 inches = 14.3 x 11.3cm. Signed "Bernheim". Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Nancy, and known for his research on typhoid fever and heart disease, Bernheim became the first physician to use hypnotism in the treatment of neuroses, a key move towards what was to become psychotherapy. Inspired by the success the Nancy physician Ambroise Liebault had achieved in using hypnosis, Bernheim tried Liebault's technique himself. He quickly concluded, contra Charcot's theory that the hypnotic state was part of hysteria, that hypnosis was a separate psychological state closely connected to suggestion. In 1884 he published De la suggestion dans l'etat hypnotique et dans l'etat de veile, the foundation text for the Nancy School of hypnotism, which regarded hypnotism as a form of suggestion. In 1886, not long before this letter, Bernheim greatly expanded his 1884 book into De la suggestion et de des applications a la therapeutique, the second part of which discussed numerous cases in which Bernheim had used hypnosis or waking suggestion. As Adam Crabtree noted in his important bibliography Animal Magnetism, Early Hypnotism, and Psychical Research 1766-1925, "This work became the basic text used by the adherents of the Nancy School and holds a unique place in the history of hypnotism" [#1127, pp. 266-267].

[First published 1884.] [4]+iii+[1]+428pp. Text figures. Thick 12mo. Contemporary half maroon morocco with marbled boards and endpapers, raised spine bands, and gilt spine lettering. Sheets browned with slight foxing, early ink ownership inscription to the half-title, VG. An important text for the history of both hypnotism and psychotherapy. Bernheim was the first to treat neuroses hypnotically. Crabtree construes this as a separate book, but I regard it as an enlarged version of the original text. GM-5 4995.1 (1884 1st); Norman Catalog 211; Crabtree 1127. Weight: 1 pound 4.0 ounces = 569 grams. Size: 7.4 x 4.8 x 1.4 inches = 18.5 x 12 x 3.5cm. The first part republishes Bernheim's 1884 text that introduced Liebault's work to a broad audience. In it he sharply contrasts his purely psychological conception of hypnotism with Charcot's physiologically based notion, which viewed it as a pathological condition found only in hysterics. In the second and new part of the book "Bernheim discusses suggestion as a therapeutic agent. This work became the basic text used by the adherents of the Nancy School and holds a unique place in the history of hypnotism" [Crabtree]. Binding: HB.

	[BAILLY, JEAN SYLVAIN (1736-1793), ED], Rapport des commissaires charges par le roi, de l'examen du magnetisme animal. BOUND WITH [Poissoinier, Pierre Isaac, et al.]. Rapport des commissaires de la Societe Royale de Medecine, nommes par le Roi pour faire l'examen du magnetisme animal. Paris: les Marchands de Nouveautes, 1784. 4 volumes bound in 1. [2]+66pp. Twentieth century 1/2 ocher leather with cloth-covered boards and gilt-stamped spine. Joints and edges lightly rubbed and slight foxing, else a near fine copy. Scarce. First octavo edition and the second printing of the Franklin report. "In the spring of 1784 the French government, no longer able to ignore the challenges to established medicine and politics posed by Mesmer and his followers, appointed two separate commissions to investigate animal magnetism, the first consisting of nine members -- five from the Academie des Sciences, four from the Faculte de Medecine -- and the second composed of five members of the Societe Royale de Medecine. The first commission, presided over by Benjamin Franklin (then the United States' Ambassador to France), decided to investigate animal magnetism as practiced by Eslon, since Eslon, unlike Mesmer, welcomed an official inquiry" [Norman Catalog #124]. Crabtree #31; Norman Catalog M125 (this copy with a variant ornament of a shield without the two cherubs in the Norman copy). 10.0 ounces = 285 grams. 8.0 x 5.0 x 0.6 inches = 20 x 12.5 x 1.5cm. The reports of both Royal Commissions along with Bailly's summary of the Faculty's report and d'Eslon's spirited critique of both reports, in which he condemned their prohibition against the practice of animal magnetism. A nice collection of the most important documents relating to the reports of the two commissions, the highly negative conclusions of which destroyed Mesmer's scientific pretensions for animal magnetism, consigning it to fringe science for several generations, until it reemerged in the mid-19th century as a slightly more respectable hypnotism. Very controversial, the reports stimulated for years the publication of pamphlets and books defending or excoriating their negative conclusions. Binding: HB.

Contribution a l'etude des proprietes du systeme nerveux. Extrait de la Gazette Medicale de Paris, annee 1881. Paris: Doin & Lechevalier, 1882. 1st separate Edition. 40pp. Pamphlet, stitched. Edges quite chipped, first leaf detached, a good copy. Scarce. From Adam Crabtree's collection. Crabtree 1051: "Barety posits the existence of a 'neuric force' produced in the nervous system and radiating from the body in three areas; the eyes, the ends of the fingers, and the lungs. According to Barety, the dynamic form of this force circulates through the body and others transmit it. The force may radiate over distances from a few centimeters to many meters, and, depending on the power of the radiation and the senstitivity of the receptor, it may be sensed by individuals in the vicinity. Barety equated his 'neuric force' with Mesmer's animal magnetism." 2.0 ounces = 57 grams. 9.8 x 6.4 x 0.1 inches = 24.5 x 16 x 0.2cm. Binding: PB.

Crabtree #36; Caillet 979 (citing the Hague imprint); not in the Norman Catalog; Tinterow p. 18; Blake p. 42; Wellcome II, p. 147. 9.0 ounces = 256 grams. 8.4 x 5.2 x 0.5 inches = 21 x 13 x 1.3cm. A lawyer, Bergasse was a key figure in the spread of Mesmerism. When Mesmer felt threatened by D'Eslon in 1782, Bergasse and the financier Kornmann formulated the plan to found the Societe de l'Harmonie. The idea worked, succeeding in enriching Mesmer and in creating a broad base of support for Mesmerism. It is in this book that Bergasse expounds his mesmerically-founded philosophical theory. The book angered Mesmer and resulted in Bergasse leaving the society. Binding: PB.

	BERNHEIM, HIPPOLYTE (1840-1919), Autograph Letter signed, postmarked 14 janvier 1887, to Edgar Berillon. Nancy: [1887]. 12mo. 1 page, 12 lines written on a "Carte-Lettre." Browned, else near fine. Scarce. In our experience Bernheim letters are uncommon. Written to Berillon as editor of the Revue d'Hypnotisme. Bernheim writes that he is sending Berillon an article for the Revue in which he views the question of hypnotic influence and its degrees in a new light. Norman Catalog 212. Weight: 0.1 ounces = 3 grams. Size: 5.7 x 4.5 inches = 14.3 x 11.3cm. Signed "Bernheim". Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Nancy, and known for his research on typhoid fever and heart disease, Bernheim became the first physician to use hypnotism in the treatment of neuroses, a key move towards what was to become psychotherapy. Inspired by the success the Nancy physician Ambroise Liebault had achieved in using hypnosis, Bernheim tried Liebault's technique himself. He quickly concluded, contra Charcot's theory that the hypnotic state was part of hysteria, that hypnosis was a separate psychological state closely connected to suggestion. In 1884 he published De la suggestion dans l'etat hypnotique et dans l'etat de veile, the foundation text for the Nancy School of hypnotism, which regarded hypnotism as a form of suggestion. In 1886, not long before this letter, Bernheim greatly expanded his 1884 book into De la suggestion et de des applications a la therapeutique, the second part of which discussed numerous cases in which Bernheim had used hypnosis or waking suggestion. As Adam Crabtree noted in his important bibliography Animal Magnetism, Early Hypnotism, and Psychical Research 1766-1925, "This work became the basic text used by the adherents of the Nancy School and holds a unique place in the history of hypnotism" [#1127, pp. 266-267].

Sheets browned with slight foxing, early ink ownership inscription to the half-title, VG. An important text for the history of both hypnotism and psychotherapy. Bernheim was the first to treat neuroses hypnotically. Crabtree construes this as a separate book, but I regard it as an enlarged version of the original text.

The first part republishes Bernheim's 1884 text that introduced Liebault's work to a broad audience. In it he sharply contrasts his purely psychological conception of hypnotism with Charcot's physiologically based notion, which viewed it as a pathological condition found only in hysterics.
