This little volume was originally written as a Preface to a larger study of Peter Kürten which the same publishers intend to issue shortly. It is a condensed account of the life of the so-called 'Düsseldorf monster' with some attempt at a psychological understanding of his peculiarities. The larger volume will doubtless be awaited with interest.
