This volume follows the changing fashions from sets to omnibus collections. It is remarkable value for its low cost, both in quality and amount of contents. In 1, 000 pages the editor, Dr. Brill, has included the whole of the following six books:—
Book I. Psychopathology of Everyday Life.
Book II. The Interpretation of Dreams.
Book III. Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex.
Book IV. Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious.
Book V. Totem and Taboo.
Book VI. The History of the Psycho-analytic Movement.
Moreover, Dr. Brill has contributed a highly interesting introduction of some 30 pages which gives a general account of the development of Freud's work and the expansion of that work in the United States. Dr. Brill, the pioneer of psycho-analysis in that country, has cast what he has to say in somewhat autobiographical terms, so that one can follow the development through the eyes of one who both witnessed it and has done so much to further it.
The translations used are Dr. Brill's own, though they do not exhaust the translations of Freud he has made, which include four or five other volumes. The book is well got up and has an excellent index.
