A photocopied facsimile of the very scarce 1843 first edition of this work.James Braid was a Scottish surgeon, natural philosopher, and "gentleman scientist". This was a popular work immediately, selling eight hundred copies within a few months of publication.A fascinating work discussing animal magnetism and mesmerism, the healing system devised by Franz Anton Mesmer, which posits the existence of an invisible natural force possessed by all living things. Mesmer posited that the force could be used to hypnotise and heal.Braid thought of hypnotism as producing a "nervous sleep" which differed from ordinary sleep, and completely rejected Mesmer's idea that a magnetic fluid caused hypnotic phenomena.

First edition. 'Braid introduced the term 'hypnosis' in his book Neurypnology (1843). He was mainly interested in the therapeutic possibilities of hypnosis and reported successful treatment of diseased states such as paralysis, rheumatism, and aphasia. He hoped that hypnosis could be used to cure various seemingly incurable 'nervous' diseases and also to alleviate the pain and anxiety of patients in surgery. / Braid's findings met with violent opposition at first, but they soon provided a major impetus to the development of the French school of neuropsychiatry.' - Encyclopaedia Britannica. / 'The first full-length scientific treatise on what is now known as hypnotism. When he published Neurypnology, Braid did not yet have a full understanding of the psychological processes involved in hypnosis, believing that hypnotic phenomena were produced by functional changes in the nervous, muscular, circulatory and respiratory systems. However he did recognize, as the Abbe Faria and Bertrand had before him, that hypnosis was a subjective phenomenon, dependent entirely on the state of mind of the hypnotized and not on any mystical fluid or occult magical power wielded by the hypnotizer. As Braid continued to investigate hypnotic phenomena, his ideas of what caused them underwent several radical changes, which are demonstrated in his later works. Braid's methods of hypnosis were published in France circa 1860, where they exerted an important influence on the work of Broca, Charcot, Liebeault, and Bernheim, whose teachings in turn influenced the work of Sigmund Freud.' - Haskell F. Norman 324. / James Braid, born in Scotland, was a Manchester physician who showed innovative treatments of clubfeet, curvature of the spine, bandy legs and strabismus. He is sometimes called the 'Father of modern hypnotism,' [Kroger, Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis in Medicine, 2008, p.3] though hypnotism is much older than with his introducing the field to western thought.

First edition of the book that established hypnotism. Expanding on Franz Mesmer's theories of animal magnetism, Braid argued that mesmeric trances were not caused by channelling an occult fluid, but were a psycho-physiological state caused by manipulating the nervous system. The medical practices developed as a result of Braid's work constitute a major development in the history of psychology and psychotherapy. Braid's (1795-1860) interest in mesmerism stemmed from his attendance at a demonstration by French mesmerist Charles Lafontaine (1803-1892) in November 1841. The mesmerist movement had been established by the publication of Mesmer's (1734-1815) book Mémoire sur la découverte du magnétisme animal (1779) which detailed the discovery of a "universal fluid" that responded to magnetic forces and could be manipulated within patients to cure illness. The fluid could be transmitted inside people, animals, and objects, first through magnets and later through sheer will. The theory, although pervasive, was controversial; Mesmer's detractors condemned him as a theatrical showman, and many viewed mesmerism as a type of dangerous mind control that had contributed to the political crises of the late 18th century, including the French Revolution. Braid was amazed by Lafontaine's demonstration but was sceptical of its causes. He did not share the view that it was merely an elaborate hoax, nor did he believe an occult magnetic fluid truly caused it. To get to the truth of the matter, Braid began experimenting with putting himself into a mesmeric trance by visually fixating on small, bright dots of light. Just a week after attending Lafontaine's demonstration, Braid delivered a lecture refuting animal magnetism and demonstrating his own techniques. Braid argued that the fact he was able to achieve similar effects on himself proved that there was no need for an operator to channel the fluid within him, and that therefore the mesmeric effects were solely caused by manipulating the psycho-physiological state of the subject. He coined the term "neurypnology" from the Greek for "nervous" and "sleep" but was keen to stress that although "sleep" was the closest analogy to a state of hypnosis, the prefix "nervous" distinguished it from natural sleep. He proposed various abbreviated forms of the term, including the one that is most common today: hypnotism. Details of Braid's experiments were delivered at five public lectures, which were reported in detail in the Manchester Guardian and the Manchester Courier. He then published a pamphlet, "Satanic Agency and Mesmerism Reviewed" (1842) outlining a brief statement of his discoveries. The present work is Braid's only full-length definitive exposition of hypnotism. At the time of writing it, Braid "did not yet have a full understanding of the psychological processes involved in hypnosis, believing that hypnotic phenomena were produced by functional changes in the nervous, muscular, circulatory and respiratory systems. However, he did recognize that hypnosis was a subjective phenomenon, dependent entirely on the state of mind of the hypnotized and not on any mystical fluid or occult magical power wielded by the hypnotizer" (Norman). Neurypnology was key to the transformation of animal magnetism into a psychological practice; although Braid did not believe that hypnotism could provide a "universal cure" for ailments, as Mesmer had, he promoted its use as a therapeutic tool in conjunction with medical treatments. "Braid's methods of hypnosis were published in France circa 1860, where they exerted an important influence on the work of Broca, Charcot, Liébeault and Bernheim, whose teachings in turn influenced the work of Sigmund Freud" (ibid.).
