A postscript to my posting about animal magnetism and suggestion: Malcolm Macmillan provides an excellent survey of the phenomena in question from a modern perspective in the section �Charcot, Hypnosis, and Determinism� in his book *Freud Evaluated*, pp. 25-48. He covers the whole period from Mesmer in the 18th century through Braid�s pioneering investigations of hypnosis to the late nineteenth century debates on hypnosis and suggestion.
