Rarissima opera dello scrittore mistico George Baldwin (1744-1818), diplomatico inglese che gestiva i rapporti tra la "East India Company" e l'Egitto per poi ricoprire il ruolo di Console in Egitto. Per un certo periodo visse in Italia. Opera pubblicata senza frontespizio a cura dell'autore per una serie di amici selezionati. Senza data ma del 1802 circa (come si evince dalla prefazione). Nella parte introduttiva l'autore dichiara che è stata scritta durante un sonno magnetico. Baldwin nel 1789 iniziò alcuni esperimenti su se stesso e si rese conto di possedere "un influenza magnetica" durante quello che nella prefazione chiama "magnetic sleep" e i cui messaggi venivano trascritti da Cesare Avena di Valdieri raccolti nello scritto "Magnetic productions" per un totale di 51 sessioni. Lo scritto termina con: "Cosi l'anno primo fini del Viaggiatore Divino" Seguono "Il viaggiator divino anno secondo" e "Viaggiatore divino anno terzo". Presente anche "On the soul" sull'immortalità dell'anima. Testo inglese.
