Claude-Generated Themes:   Read from 1842, The Mesmeric Magazine is a pure early English organ of animal magnetism, from the first flush of the British mesmeric craze. Its content is the classical repertoire: the magnetic fluid and passes, clairvoyance and the magnetic trance, with the era's phreno-mesmeric interest attached. A concentrated specimen of mesmerism at its 1840s English height.
