Dupotet de Sennevoy, Baron Jules. French scholar and publicist, b. at LaChapelle (Yonne), April 12, 1796; d. at Paris, July 1, 1881. A descendant of the famous Dukes of Burgundy, he was a disciple of Mesmer and occupied himself almost exclusively with the study of magnetism, concerning which he wrote a number of works. On strength of his experiments, the Academy of Medicine formed a Committee in 1826 for the investigation of the scientific basis of the facts advanced by him. Acc. to Col. H. S. Olcott (The Theos., I, 116-17), he did “more than any living man of the past century to show what are the possibilities of human magnetism.” In his eighty-fourth year, he became Honorary Fellow of The Theos. Society (Vide above ref. for his letter of acceptance). Was highly esteemed by H. P. B. Founded, 1827, a special journal, Le Propagateur du magnétisme animal, which was superseded in 1845 by Le Journal du magnétisme. Works: Exposé des expériences sur le magnétisme animal, Paris, 1821. 8-vo.—Cours de magnétisme.
