account of hisldfsrnvery:

Lcl us eiFdaE SS.1o Rsdnce s0Iie OF The
new principles which must follow frnm The
law iu Animal Magnetism Which DR..
Collrcr has thus established.
Henceforth, il is clear, men may learn
how to think with other peoples brains
instead of their own, which will certainly
be a great advantage for many people in
private life and some in high public trusts,
To whom Nature has given insufficient
head pieces. II will favor tho establish
menl of jus, equality among men, by
abolishins that u%njus. monopoly which
some few arisincrats Of the Intellect have
enjoyed. Hcncefmtb. no man will be
able to have any 2ruporry even in his own
thoughts; bul there shall he n community
of idens MS well as. of goods.
If thought is reflected from, mirror like
bodies. Of course II has the power Of re.
fraction rs well as reflection. II could
therefore be transmitted through lenses:
so that men whose mental action wants
intensity will be able TO get their thought
thrown into a focus when thev like. Nor
is this all; ii will be easy after this. by
means of proper ob'ical' instruments, 10
collect; from hundred or n thousand
heads nj once, their thoughts, and airec,
,hem all into a single brain; so riin, you
can produce any quantity NJ intellectual
power you please. The invention Of the
steam. engine is no'hing To what his will
be.
