‎---- EDITION ORIGNALE ---- "DELEUZE, a student of the Marquis de Chastenet de Puységur, succeeded his teacher as head of the mesmerist movement in France, and it was partly due to his intelligent leadership that interest in mesmerism underwent a revival in the first half of the nineteenth century...". (cf. Norman N° M67) ---- Crabtree N° 320 : "One of the most popular manuals for the practice of animal magnetism ever written. Deleuze's instructions are clear and balanced in tone. He emphasizes that animal magnetism is intended to be a source of benefit, a healing power for those in distress. The tone of the manuel is reminiscent of that of Puységur. The good will of magnetizer is of paramount importance to the outcome of the treatment..." ---- Barrucand p. 38 - Ellenberger p. 67**1663/F3‎
