THOURET: Recherches et doutes sur le magnétisme animal. Pari - Lot 49
THOURET: Recherches et doutes sur le magnétisme animal. Paris, Prault, 1784. Rare in-depth study on the nature and properties of magnetism, by one of the first members of the Royal Academy of Medicine and who was also the first director of the School of Health. In this work, the author compares Mesmer's arguments with those of spagirists and alchemist physicians such as Kircher, Paracelsus, Van Helmont, Libavius, etc., and searches the history of medicine for anything that could be assimilated to animal magnetism. Crabtree #116 "Thouret's learned critique was extremely influential."
