A few examples will suffice. Petit was magnetised by M. Dupotet, who asserted that the somnambulist would be able to choose, with his eyes shut, a mesmerised coin out of twelve others. The experiment was tried, and the somnambulist chose the wrong one. [Report of the Commissioners, p. 153.]

Mesmerised sovereigns sometimes did and sometimes did not produce these symptoms.英文原著 · 《Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions-3》
