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._

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
