“This book is a symptom of a welcome tendency in the study of
psychopathology, and provides, from one point of view, a very desirable
reaction from the methods of Lombroso, Kraft-Ebing, and similar
writers.... Professor Freud deserves the high praise and true gratitude
of genuine scientists.”--_The Observer._
“The book is extraordinarily interesting and full of hints for the
student of human nature.”--_Nature._

UNWIN’S “CHATS” SERIES
PRACTICAL HANDBOOKS FOR COLLECTORS
Most people nowadays are collectors in a small way of Autographs,
China, Furniture, Prints, Miniatures, or Silver, and would take up
these fascinating hobbies more extensively, and collect with profit, if
they had a knowledge of the subject.
It is to the beginner and would-be collector that Unwin’s “Chats”
Series of practical handbooks especially appeal. They are the
recognized standard guides to collecting, each volume being the work of
an expert on the subject dealt with.
Each volume is profusely illustrated with carefully-chosen specimens of
the various styles and periods.
Full Indices, Bibliographies, and Lists of Sale Prices at Public
Auctions are included in the volumes.
“As this is the age of collectors, so it is the age of books for their
guidance. Mr. Unwin’s series of books for collectors now includes
twenty-one volumes, and if bargains are missed it is certainly not the
fault of the various writers.” _The Nation._
HOW TO COLLECT WITH PROFIT
is the keynote of the series. The phenomenal prices realized at auction
sales are obtained by those who have collected wisely. Prices are
still rising, and those who have the knowledge are buying for future
rises. Ask always for and see that you get UNWIN’S “Chats” Series--the
standard popular handbooks on collecting.
