‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "BRAID inaugurated modern hypnotism, the word itself being introduced by him. His theories were adopted by Broca, Charcot, Liébeault and Bernheim ; thus he founded the French school". (Garrison N° 4993 1st english ed.) ---- "The first full-length treatment of the subject of hypnotism by its founder. In this book Braid expands upon satanic agency and mesmerism reviewed. He further elaborates his proposed new terminology with the following vocabulary : neurypnology : the doctrine of nervous sleep ; neuro-hypnotism : nervous sleep, a peculiar condition of the nervous system produced by artificial contrivance ; hypnotic : the state of nervous sleep ; hypnotise : to induce nervous sleep ; hypnotism : nervous sleep ; dehypnotise : to restore from the state of nervous sleep ; hypnotist : one who practises neuro-hypnotism...".
