Written by Puységur in 1784, Memoirs to Serve the History and Establishment of Animal Magnetism describes the author's exploration and discovery of 'artificial somnambulism', a state that reveals insights into the subconscious mind. Building on the healing techniques of Franz Anton Mesmer, Puységur kept detailed notes on his practice with patients, including their names, symptoms and follow-up information, providing unique insight into his process.
