LEGER. M. D. PARISIENSIS. HISTORY OF PSYCODUNAMY. First Section. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ACADEMICAL HISTORY. "Those who at once deny the possibility of the facts of Magnetism, and refuse it an investigation, seem to us to reason most illogically: they admit precisely that which is questioned; for to dare to say, "This is possible, and that is not,' implies necessarily the pretension of having been initiated into all the mysteries of creation. "Therefore, in all cases, before we pronounce, we must examine. And even that is insufficient: we must, in our examination, preserve our mind free from prejudice."-REPORT made to the Royal Academy of Medicine, Paris, on the 25th of March, 1838, by DRS. GUENEAU and BOUSQUET. |
