t stole over her was rather of an
agreeable nature, and that it was preceded by a slight tingling,
which ran down her arms in the direction of the mesmeriser's
fingers. Moreover she assured us, that the oppression she had at
one time felt was not fanciful, but real--not mental, but bodily,
and was accompanied by a peculiar pain in the region of the heart,
which, however, ceased immediately on the dispersion of the
mesmeric sleep. These statements were the rather to be relied upon,
inasmuch as the girl's character was neither timid nor
imaginative."--(P. 38-42.)

We would willingly give the whole of the second sitting of the same

"With regard to the development of vision, the eyes of the patient
appeared to be firmly shut during the whole sitting, and yet he
gave the following proofs of accurate sight:--

"Without being guided by our voices, (for, in making the
experiment, we kept carefully silent,) he distinguished between the
different persons present, and the colours of their dresses. He
also named with accuracy various objects on the table, such as a
miniature picture, a drawing by Mr K----, &c. &c.

"When the mesmeriser left him, and ran quickly amongst the chairs,
tables &c., of the apartment, he followed him, running also, and
