CLERGYMEN AND THE MYSTERIES OF THEIR SCIENCE,

exhausted from the trial of D-ra Horst

Warsaw 1866, Nakładem J.M. Neumarek, str.63, format 11x18cm

Description of the course of the trial in Bohemian Prague. "With the help of spinning tables and magnetic prophecies, guided by a clever hand, a virtuous but easy-going and weak-headed man was brought to ruin himself on his own name, to move his confidence, to commit grand larceny, to commit the crime of insulting majesty, and as payment for all this, to steal his honor and freedom" [introduction].

A work in anthropology and psychology that critically addresses the spiritualistic and mesmeric ideas described in Kardec's "Book of Spirits."

Very rare!
