About this Item

London: Hippolyte Bailliere, 1844. Second edition, revised and enlarged. 8vo. 390pp. Original cloth, with small circular chip out of spine. Lemon endpapers. Clean and crisp within. Overall very good. Townshend made friends with some of the key literary and cultural figures of his day. He hosted musical soir�es at his London home which were attended by the poet Robert Southey and sensationalist novelist Wilkie Collins amongst others. He was a close friend of Charles Dickens, who dedicated the first edition of Great Expectations to him. Townshend and fellow mesmerists, including Dickens, thought that physical ailments could be cured through the manipulation of animal spirits in the patient. Townshend believed that the natural properties of gemstones could affect the animal magnetism of his subjects.
