Publisher: Lamp of Trismegistus

In this insightful paper originally published in 1890 by Madame Blavatsky, the author offers a blend of biography and defense of Franz Anton Mesmer. Blavatsky explores the connections between hypnotism and mesmerism, examining how both were perceived within the scientific and occult circles in Europe. She also criticizes the scientific community for rejecting mystical concepts while simultaneously adopting similar ideas under different names.
