FREUD, Sigmund. UBER SPINALGANGLIEN UND RUCKENMARK DES  PETROMYZON
[ON THE SPINAL GANGLIA AND SPINAL CORD OF PETROMYZON]. [Vienna]: [Hof-
und    Staatsdruckerei]   [1878].  First    Edition.   Offprint   from
SITZUNGSBERICHTE  DER MATHEMATISCH-NATURWISSENSCHAFTLICHEN CLASSE  DER

brown  printed  wraps bound into black buckram with gilt lettering  on
the  front  cover;  87  pages and 4 folding lithograph  plates  by  F.
Schima after Freud. The First Separate Edition of Freud's third paper,
published  while  still  a  medical  student  under  the  guidance  of
physiologist  Ernst  von  Brucke.  Freud's   work  was  a  significant
contribution  to  the  data  used   by  the  scientific  community  to
establish  the  evolutionary  continuity  of  all  organisms.  Freud's
drawings  also  convey  his  belief in the  persistence  of  primitive
structures  in  the fully developed organism, a connection brought  to
greater  light  by his reference to this very study when  illustrating
the    concept   of  Fixation  in   his   INTRODUCTORY   LECTURES   ON
PSYCHOANALYSIS.  Minor chipping to wrappers; slight foxing to  margins
of plates. Near Fine                                          $1000.00
