This is a new publishing venture undertaken with the purpose of bringing annually to people in fields allied to psychoanalysis a group of selected contributions to psychoanalytic literature which they might otherwise not get around to read. This, the first volume, has been judiciously compiled from sources from 1942 onwards and contains sixteen reprints from five journals, chapters from four books, and a special survey and bibliography on the psychoanalytic literature of alcoholism prepared by the editor, Dr. Lorand.

The volume is attractively got up and should look nice on any psychoanalyst's bookshelf. Dr. Lorand and his co-editors are to be congratulated on their initiative and judgment.
