A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Although it is scarcely four years since this book was published, it has had a somewhat eventful history. It was favorably received by the medical press on its first publication in London and no attempt was made to bring it before the general public. A prosecution was, however, initiated by the police against a bookseller who sold the book, and theE ecorder of London (the late Sir Charles Hall), sitting as a judge, finally decided that it was not a scientific work, and ordered it to be destroyed. It was a deplorable decision from many points of view, though I need scarcely say that I was able to bear with equanimity the recorders opinion of my booF sscientific value; I have the satisfaction of knowing that neither in my own country, nor in continental Europe, nor in A merica, has anyone entitled to an authoritative opinion on the subjects with which I deal pronounced adversely to my book, while, on the other hand, many have spoken in its favor in terms more fiattering than I can venture to think that I deserve. At the same time I have no wish to act in opposition to the laws of my country, even as interpreted by amateur experts on the judicial bench, and immediately the issue of theB edborough case was known I declared my intention not to publish any of the further volumes of myS tudies in the Psychology of Sex in England. So far as I have been able to control the matter, I have most strictly adhered to this resolution. In the meanwhile I proceeded to revise and enlarge my book, aided in this task by many friends and correspondents. Eleven new cases have been added; these are III, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XXVI, XXXV, XXXVI, and XXXVII, some of them being, I consider, of much psychological interest.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
