Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Near fine. Hardcover and dust jacket. Small tear to jacket. Dust jacket in protective mylar cover. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. 313 pages ; 23 cm. "In nineteenth century America, a host of cultish enthusiasms: mesmerism, phrenology, Grahamism, and finally Spiritualism; traded on the moral fervor that abolitionism, feminism, and communitism had stirred up. The dramatic success of scientific technology in the early part of the century encouraged tag-along reformers to deck out their philanthropies in scientific terms, whether they were selling vegetarianism or penology, psychology or hypnotism. This was the heyday of pseudoscience and the birth of social science 'social engineering.' More than any of his contemporaries, Nathaniel Hawthorne understood the nature of this movement.".
