A brief sketch summarized as follows: 'Knowledge of Breuer and Freud's work was available in English periodicals in the nineties of the last century. The earliest publicists in England were F. W. H. Myers, Mitchell Clarke and Havelock Ellis—in that order. The first paper on psychoanalysis itself in English, an adverse one, was published by Dr. Putnam in Boston in 1906, the first one supporting it was by myself in 1909, the first one in England—more favorable than Dr. Putnam's—was by Dr. Mitchell, in 1910. Psychoanalysis was first practised in London in 1905, in New York in 1908 and in Boston in 1910.'
