Du magnétisme animal en France et des jugements qu'en ont portés les sociétés savantes, avec le texts des divers rapports faits en 1784 ...suivi de considérations sur làpparition de l'extase dans les traitements magnétiques.
This is a French medical treatise of 1826 by Alexandre Jacques François Bertrand, published in Paris by Baillière, examining animal magnetism and the reports of learned societies on it, with 1784 commission texts included. The single picture is a Yale-style shield bearing an open book with Hebrew letters and the motto LUX ET VERITAS on a ribbon, likely a library bookplate rather than an illustration of the text. A designer might take from it a crest-and-ribbon device with horizontal line shading and an inscribed banner for heraldic or institutional marks.
