Every care has been taken to render the text the most perfect yet
produced. The various folios and older editions, together with the
modern ones of Johnson, Steevens, Malone, Boswell, Knight, and
Collier (also Dyce's Remarks on the two latter), have been
carefully compared and numerous errors corrected.

ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING To Mesmerism. Part I. By the
REV. S. R. MAITLAND, DD. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the
late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.
"One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever
read."--_Morning Herald._
"This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a
larger work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._
"A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the
practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._
"Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the
'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or
wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and
hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London
Medical Gazette._
"The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say
important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most
successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this
brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to
those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or _angry_ (for it has
come to this at last) with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._
"We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by
one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the
genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much
disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter Gazette._
"Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the subject
for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part the
result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in it
which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content
ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet
itself."--_Brit. Mag._
W. STEPHENSON, 12. and 13. Parliament Street.
