Complete Hypnotism & Mind-Read

Complete Hypnotism: Mesmerism, Mind-Reading and Spiritualism by A. Alpheus

There is no doubt that hypnotism is a very old subject, though the name was not invented until 1850. In it was wrapped up the mysteries of Isis in Egypt thousands of years ago, and probably it was one of the weapons, if not the chief instrument of operation, of the magi mentioned in the Bible and of the wise men of Babylon and Egypt.
