"A philosophical physician said, in speaking of the first edition of this work: "If the author had been satisfied to treat the vast question of hallucinations as medical men usually treat a question of pathology, the medical press would have announced his monograph according to custom, with simple praises and very inoffensive criticisms; medical science would have numbered one more good work, and so the matter would have ended. But such has not been the case. M. Brierre de Boismont, in giving a less scholastic turn to his treatise, and introducing questions of historic psychology, has succeeded in electrifying both the press and the public. Thence have arisen those warm eulogies which have appeared in excellent journals, unconnected with medicine; thence those keen, but polite criticisms which have been impartially received in a scientific magazine. It appears to me that this is a great triumph. It is no easy matter to make the chords of contemporary criticism, in general so slack, thus vibrate. The success is still greater, if a similar result has been obtained in defending the cause of truth and common sense""--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved).

Excerpt from On Hallucinations: A History and Explanation of Apparitions, Visions, Dreams, Ecstasy, Magnetism, and Somnambulism At all epochs in the history of man, in every climate, under the most opposite forms of government, and with every variety of religion, we constantly find the same belief in spirits and apparitions. The source of an opinion so universal must evidently be sought for in the mental constitution of man, where there predominates an irresistible craving after the unknown, and a belief in the supernatural, which manifests itself in the multitude by a love of the marvellous. The savage who dreams of the Great Spirit, and of boundless hunting-grounds in a future life; the Arab who wanders in the enchanted palaces of the Thousand and One Nights; the Indian who loses himself in the incarnations of Brama; the inhabitant of the civilized world who professes to believe nothing, yet secretly consults the fortune-teller, or demands from magnetism what it cannot afford him; all obey the same want - that of believing something. At first, it seems astonishing that such opinions should have obtained so much influence, and one is tempted to ask, if man is a compound of errors, or the sport of illusions; but a deeper investigation of the question will convince us that these opinions are only deviations from the religious sentiment. History and tradition alike inform us that man came forth pure, but free, from the hands of his Creator. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
