The Bakken’s holdings of primary sources in this subject area are numerous and extensive, covering approximately 80 years, beginning with Mesmer’s dissertation, published in Vienna in 1766. A cruise through the 18th and 19th century portions of the Bakken’s book inventory gives an idea of its holdings in this subject area; see also the description of the collection of historical journals at the Bakken. Go to www.thebakken.org/library/library.htm and click on Books and Manuscripts for the book inventory; click on Historical Journals for a description of the journals.
