Overview

Excerpt from An Attempt to Explain Some of the Wonders and Mysteries of Mesmerism, Biology, and Clairvoyance We have many learned and expensive works on this subject; we have many theories, full of worms, which signify no thing, giving explanations in terms more complex than the original idea, which like the baseless fabric of a vision, vanish in the light of some poor dictionary, and leave no ray to guide us through the shallows of doubt and of ignorance. A few plain thoughts, then, appear to he wanted, but where Philosophers have failed, I almost fear to tread, for rock' d on the high and giddy mast, nurtured on the breast of the ocean waves, and instructed with a rope's end, in the academical degrees of a British Seaman, I cannot be expected to give a very learned account of the wonders of the deep, or very philosophically sound the fathomless abyss, of the mysterious solitudes of the Ocean-mind; yet my log of events may perchance throw, . Some light on the navigation of these un known depths, and induce some daring adventurer laden with science to make a voyage among these mysteries, and open a new passage to the human mind.
