The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.

Sleep Walking and Moon Walking is a medico-literary study written by Dr. J. Sadger or Isidor Isaak Sadger in 1920. This volume is no.31 of the Nervous and Mental Disease Monograph Series. In this book, which is separated into two parts: Medical and Literary; psychoanalysis holds a key to the problem of sleep walking. It can unlock the mysteries of causes and significance of this symptom. This key is the principle of wish fulfillment, the explanation of the mechanism of the psyche, and the illumination of the underlining mental content. Sleep walking occurs as a method of wish fulfillment which lies close to the dream life through psychoanalysis. When we dream, lie still, and do not stir. The symptomatic manifestations carrying out of the dream wish through walking in the sleep are illustrated evidently. More evidences of an influence of the shining moon on this tendency to sleep walking give rise to the questions of importance to medical psychology.

CHAPTER IX THE ROYAL CYCLE IF I were obliged to give this cycle a place proportioned to that which it occupies in the somambulic life of Mlle. Smith, a hundred pages would not suffice. But permit me to pass rapidly over facts concerning which l should only be obliged to repeat the greater part of the observations called forth by the preceding romances, which apply equally well, mutatis mutandis, to the personification of Marie Antoinette by Helene. The choice of this role is naturally explained by the innate tastes of Mlle. Smith for everything that is noble, distinguished, elevated above the level of the common herd, and by the fact that some exterior circumstance fixed her hypnoid attention upon the illustrious queen of France in preference to the many other historic figures equally qualified to serve as a point of attachment for her subconscious megalomaniac reveries. In default of absolutely certain information on this point, I strongly suspect the engraving from the Memoirs of a Physician, representing the dramatic scene of the decanter between Balsamo and the Dauphiness, of having given birth to this identification of Helene with Marie Antoinette, as well as to that of her secondary personality of Leopold with Cagliostro. We have, in fact, seen that this engraving (pp. 9495), so well calculated to impress the imagination, was shown to Mlle. Smith by Mme. B. at the end of a seance--that is, at a moment when one is never sure that Helene's return to her normal state is complete, and in which her hypnoid personality, still on a level with consciousness, so to speak, is very prone to absorb the interesting suggestions which the environment may furnish. It was several months--a year and a quarter, possibly--after this incident (the precise date of which, in 1892 or 1893, it is impo...

To be untethered in the waking world, to have the feeling that perhaps we are sleepwalking--that's what life can be like for the people in these eleven stories by Peter LaSalle, known to readers of leading literary magazines for his luminous prose style and narrative daring.

The characters range from a fragile, and very rich, Mount Holyoke College girl in Paris to an out-of-work American businessman caught up in an international financial scam in Buenos Aires; from a happy-go-lucky old piano-lounge performer, once famous in all the New England seaside resorts, to a quartet of passengers on a bus barreling across the Mexican desert on Christmas Eve--and heading right toward a nightmarish encounter indeed on the road. In one story, a troubled guy who is somehow both himself on a hockey scholarship at Harvard in the sixties and himself a few decades later, meets his beautiful lost girlfriend at a long-gone Cambridge cafeteria. The busboys become hovering angels. Time slips backward and forward. Things that happened may not have happened.

While rich with specific detail of character and place, these stories also tap into the stranger kind of clarity that does come, paradoxically, from subtle disorientation, as found in innovators like Nabokov and Borges. LaSalle's lovely, rhythmic sentences, in which an aside can sometimes be the central concern, create a captivating permeability in the boundary between real and unreal while always enchanting with their power simply to tell a moving story. This is very original short fiction that aspires to nothing less than reasserting the wonderful possibilities of the genre--or, as the narrator of the story "The End of Narrative" ultimately suggests: "Maybe narrative hadn't ended, which is to say, hasn't ended."

The highly interesting subjects discussed in this volume, written by a very distinguished French physician, have seemed to demand a careful translation, in order that its usefulness may be more generally diffused. One of the principal propositions which the talented author has undertaken to prove is, that hallucination is not a necessary accompaniment or symptom of insanity, but that in certain cases it may be considered as a purely physiological phenomenon. This book will offer attractions to many classes of readers.
