One object OF this work will be to ex-
cite and encourage spirit of inquiry,
and to assist in such investigation as
may tend to settle the following, among
other similar questions;
/. That the magnetic forces not on
ly peryade all matter, but that every
living being has peculiar magnetic ma
ture.
2. That these forces are the means
Of motion and sensation.
). That every Mental and Physical
organ, and every muscle has its CORES
ponding magnetic poles.
a. That the magnetic forces. from
the different organs which terminate in
the face, and by means of which the va
rious expressions of Fear, Hope, Love,
and Anger, ETC., are expressed in the
countenance, & the muscles q limbs are
made to obey the human will.
5. That these organs may be excl
ted separately, or their action modified
by magnetism, as the condition of the
patient may require.
6. That this magnetic nature is gov
erned b laws peculiar to itself; and may
be communicated from one person to an
other.
z. And as to what these laws are,
the number, location and functions Of
the different organs; the location of the
corresponding poles of the Mental and
Physical organs, etc.
The subscriber has been engaged for
some time in course of magnetic cere-
bral experiments, the results of which
60 very far, as he believes, towards dem
onstrating these assumptions, and if they
should prove 10 be true, all must admit
that they are immensely important, as
much so as any discoveries ever made
illustrating the Physical or Mental ma
lures of MAN.
The matter will be Illustrated Oy nu-
merous engravings, some Of which are
now ready for use, the whole render
ing the work one Of surprising interest,
and every way worthy of patronage
from the curious and scientific. who
wish TO understand the mysteries Of hu-
man nature. The plates will be Of spe-
cial interest, inasmuch as they will not
only explain many magnetic phenom-
ena heretofore unknown, or not under
stood, but one or more will be given
designating those features in the human
face where the magnetic courses ter
inmate from the different physical and
mental organs, a thing never before
known; and thus will be seen the only
true explanation of Physiognomy ever
given TO the world. In a word the
work shall be filled with new and valua-
BILE matter on every question relating to
the Physical, Mental, and Magnetic ma
lures of man; explaining the phenome
ma Of ,Sleep-walking, Somnambulism,
Monomania, Insanity Madness, Dream
ing and Msnaticism; the whole design
ed 10 exhibit the claims of these sub
jects on the attention of the candid, and
to assist them in ascertaining how far
Magnetism has been, or may be, used as
a medical agent.
In furnishing articles for its pages,
the subscriber expects the assistance OF
d number of medical and scientific gen
tlemen of the highest responsibility in
their profession.
The MAGNET will be published once
a month; each number containing TWEEN
ty-four super-royal 8vo pages, with IA
printed cover.

riably in advance. 1t will, in no case,
be forwarded until pay for it has been

bers, will be allowed 10 retain the pay |
for the fourth, provided the balance be |
forwarded to the publisher, free of ex
penses.
Every Editor who shall give thi,
Prospectus (including this paragraph
six insertions, shall receive the MAGNET,
without an exchange, for one year, pro-
