This book is offered to one of the rarest of personalities both as a mark of congratulation at an important moment of her life and also as a token of admiration at her achievements. Marie Bonaparte embarked on a scientific career with as severe social handicaps as the familiar starving poet in an attic; that they were of an opposite form is irrelevant for their effects.

Nor has she confined herself to technical studies, though few outside France are acquainted with her contributions to poetry and literature. A wonderful record of achievement.
