First Translation

No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.

Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including local catalogs, Google Books, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of any English translation of Jacques Cambry's 1784 work on animal magnetism. Given the author and the specific nature of this 18th-century French pamphlet, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.
