‎---- Seconde édition ---- SANS LA PLANCHE ANNONCEE SUR LA PAGE DE TITRE QUI MANQUE A LA PLUPART DES EXEMPLAIRES ---- "The Marquis de Puysegur was a wealthy, distinguished, and fashionable member of French society. He had early been won over to Mesmer's theories and became his ardent pupil and co-worker. It was while working with mesmerism that he discovered what he called somnambulism which eventually evolved into today's hypnotism". (Heirs of Hippocrates) ---- "Among Mesmer's most enthusiastic disciples were the three brothers De Puysegur. All three brothers became Mesmer's students and played a role in the history of magnetism. The oldest brother, Armand-Marie-Jacques De Chastenet, sceptical at first above Mesmerism, was converted to it by his brother Antoine-Hyacinthe and began to give individual and collective treatments on his estate. He published several works on magnetism. Together with those of Mesmer, they were considered for at least one generation as the great classics on the subject.".
