This book is the fourth edition of Freud's original publication exposing his opinions and researches on wit and its relation to the unconscious. An
excellent translation of this volume, which is apparently unchanged, was rendered in 1917 by Dr. A. A. Brill and it has since served as a classic of its type in this country. In spite of the enormous amount of psychoanalytic research produced during the past few years, its tenets have been altered very little, if any, and it remains one of the most interesting works dealing with the technic, tendencies, motives and social significance of wit and the comic and it has notably aided in personality studies.
