The Interpretation of Dreams. Authorised Translation of Third Edition With Introduction by A. A. Brill. FREUD, Sigmund.

First edition in English, British issue. "This is unquestionably Freud's greatest single work. It contains all the basic components of psychoanalytic theory and practice; the erotic nature of dreams, the 'Oedipus complex', the libido, and the rest; all related to the background of the 'unconscious', later to be called the 'sub-conscious'" (PMM). First published in 1899, Die Traumdeutung was introduced to the English-speaking world via this translation - published simultaneously in London and New York - which was based on the third German edition of 1911. This copy has the publisher's slip tipped-in to the front free endpaper, declaring that sales of this work are restricted to the "Medical, Scholastic, Legal, and Clerical professions". Grinstein 227.
