Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Animal Magnetism
Si donc la science que je professe s'établit en Angleterre vingt années plus t6t qu'elle ne l'eut fait peut-étre, si le bien qui doit en résulter pour l'humanité a deja commence, une partie du tribut de reconnaissance vous appartient sans doute; et en vous dédiant cet ouvrage, j'ai voulu que ce fait ne fut pas ignore.
Veuillez, Monsieur le Comte, recevoir l'assurance de mon profond respect.
