Récit de l'avocat général de ***, aux chambres assemblées du public, sur le magnétisme animal.

1785 · A Philadelphie ; Et se trouve à Paris : Chez P.J. Duplain, 1785. · 3 pictures

A 1785 French pamphlet printed in Philadelphia and sold in Paris by P.J. Duplain, containing an advocate general's account to the assembled chambers on animal magnetism, the mesmerism controversy of the period. The three pictures are small typographic ornaments: a framed oval vignette of a house beside a tree, a lattice-and-scroll border strip, and a lyre within a laurel-and-ribbon cluster, useful for period decorative framing and vignette layouts.
