    ADVERTISEMENT. In addition to the contents of the present pamphlet as set forth in the title, the reader will find the first eight pages occupied by the first report of the committee of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1784. Next follows the Report of the Royal Commissioners, Dr. Franklin at their head, and the pamphlet is concluded by a succinct history of the so called science, and an abstract of the report made in 1831, when lucidity or clairvoyance had been added to the list of the wonders of Animal Magnetism. The whole is designed as a MANUAL on the subject, which should be carefully pe- rused by those in danger of being led away by the doctrines now broached. , Philadelphia, Oct. 20, 1837.
