The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism

ae ppet-caiir oatee Yates" tel ape = ‘midst alae Tl ie 2 ert PRELIMINARY GREETING. I take pleasure in presenting to the many American students who will acquire posses- sion of copies of this book, these practical lessons on the art and science of Personal Magnetism.

These chapters contain the gist of the lessons taught by me, in classes, and to individuals, in my courses of per- sonal instruction conducted by me, here in Paris, for the past eighteen years.

In my personal class work, of course, I adapt the instruction to the special requirements of my individual students, which I cannot do in the case of general lessons in printed form.

But, notwithstanding this, I feel that I have condensed into these pages the essence of my methods, and principles of practice, so that any student of average intelligence may readily grasp, assimilate, and apply the same with success.

At least, I feel that if the stu- dent does not accomplish this, it will be his or her own fault, not that of myself. In introducing this book, I wish to ex- press my obligations to Mr.

D., an American student of mine, here in Paris, who has kindly transformed my rather stilted ‘‘guide book English’’ into the plain, simple form desirable for a book designed for the general public.
