national Psychoanalytic Verlag," q
magazine founded by Freud.
One of his earliest works, pub
lished with DR.. Josef Breuer, q
Viennese neurologist, was Studies
in Hysteria" He wrote volumi-
nously and his Both birthday found
him in almost complete retirement
after finishing the 18th and final
volume of his assembled works.
Searched for Peace.
The sad, white -whiskered psyche
analyst arrived in London on June
6, 1898, in search of peace, study
and work"
Il am looking forward to my fu-
ture life with my students, my
books and my studies in England,
he said.
They let me bring some things
out of Austria-just enough to work
with. I still have my manuscript
on the Bible and my own personal
books and papers.
Everything else-all my money
and my property in Vienna-is
gone"
The manuscript he referred to
was an uncompleted work analys-
ing Biblical characters in psyco-
analytic terms.
Il loved Vienna" he said in a
weak voice, "but now that's behind
me-"
With him when he came to Eng
land were his wife and their daugh-
ter. Anna; his son, Ernst, and a
nephew, Harry Freud.
The Jewish scientist was the first
prominent Jew allowed to leave
Austria after the German annexa-
ton.
Was Still at Work.
DR.. Freud was treated with re-
spect" after Germany absorbed his
homeland, members of the family
said. From the time they arrived
In England they were reluctant to
discuss the plight of Jews there.
AT the time of his death DR..
Freud, whose researches in the in
f1uence of sex on behavior won him
worldwide fame, still was working
on the book in which he intended to
show how the Bible reflected the
subconScious yearnings and fears of
the peoples of antiquity.
In England he was accorded
privilege that never before had
been accorded any one but a Brit
ish King.
Because his physicians had for
hidden him to leave his home, the
charter book of the royal society,
Of which he was a member, was
taken to his house for his sigma
ture. The book contains the 280-
year-old records of the members of
the scientific society.
Theory on Moses.
A society official said it was the
first time the book had been re-
moved from the organizations head
quarters except for the signature
of a king.
In an English translation of his
latest book, Moses and Monothe-
ISM" DR.. Freud expressed the belief
that Moses was not a Jew. The
English version was published last
May 26.
He advanced the theory that
Moses was an Egyptian follower of
the Phraoh Akhnaton, and that
Judaism and Christianity alike were
derived from Akhnaton's sun wor-
ship.
The book examined the causes of
anti-Semitism and the continued
existence of the Jewish race.
In it, DR.. Freud saw religion as
counterpart of neurosis in the
individual.
The power of religion, he wrote,
comes from the truth that it con-
tains, only this truth is not a ma
terial truth. but an historical one"
This book, hailed as DR.. Freud's
most important speculative work,
appeared earlier in a German edi-
ton In the Netherlands.
Much of the volume was written

Or. Freud, fearful that any offehse
f1is book might cause the church
would be followed by the suppression
of his entire psychoanalytical move
ment, then published only extracts.
Freud's theories at first were ridi.
culed by the medical profession and
denounced by the public. There was,
for example, the time in 1906 when
his ideas were new and he presented
them before the Vienna Medical
Society. The conservative pundits
who heard him listened with icy
coldness when they did not break
into derisive laughter and DR.. Freud
vowed he never would set foot in
the place again. Nor did he, even
when in 1881, on his 18th birthday
anniversary, the society held q spe-
cial meeting to elect him to honor
ary membership.
