MENT
AN

ever much the ramblings
tion may lure a com-

effect of raising prices. On the other hand browsing
is dangerous because the result may be an amor-
phous conglomeration informed by no unifying
principle. Dr. Norman has solved the problem
of combining these two contrasted methods of
collecting.

It is natural that the first interest of a distin-
guished alienist should be medicine and especially
mental disease. Psychiatry and its historical back-
ground almost presuppose an interest in witchcraft
and a strong leaning towards curiosities of
literature such as the bloodthirsty adventure books
for boys which flourished in the sixties. A natural
transition leads to other juvenile favourites, books
that we were brought up on. Thus on to general
literature with a strong leaning towards eccen-
trics, and so the round is completed.

Breadth of interest is the spirit of the collection. It extends to the manuscript commonplace book of Woodhouse, which includes a variant of the "Bright Star" sonnet by his brother's friend Keats. This variant was actually first printed in the columns of this *Supplement* in a letter from Sir Sidney Colvin on February 19, 1915. At the other extreme is the first edition of "Villikins and his Dinah" in the form in which Robson made both it and himself famous. There is Burns's copy of "Poetical Remains of James I of Scotland," 1783, inscribed to him by its editor, and the letter which Hood wrote to Mark Lemon in submitting "The Song of the Shirt" for publication in *Punch*. There is the "New Practice of Physic," Dublin, 1765, by the wild Irish medico, Thomas Marryat, who dosed his wretched dysentery patients with boiled paper and there is Captain Mayne Reid's "Croquet," 1862, which claims to be the first treatise devoted to the game; Trollope's heavily scored and annotated Plato with the inscription in his own hand "E Libris A. Trollope, Harr. Sch. 1833"; and O. Henry's copy of Dowson's "Poems" with his signature, William S. Porter. But it is time to

MEDICINE AND MADNESS

The modern treatment of insanity was begun
by Pinel, who, in 1791, struck the chains from the
insane in the Salpêtrière, and published his
"Traité medico-philosophique de l'aliénation
mentale." This, and his other works form a part
of Dr. Norman's library. Prichard's "Treatise,"
1835, in which "moral insanity" was first described,
Dr. Bernard Hollander's copy of the works of Gall,
the founder of phrenology; Braid's work in which
the true nature of hypnotic influence was discovered,
and the substitution of "hypnotism" for
"mesmerism" with its undesirable connotations,
was made; Bain's "The Senses and the Intellect"
and "The Emotions and the Will" which are
the foundation of modern psychology; and, above
all, the handful of short papers and offprints which
appear so inadequate to explain the enormous
influence of Hughlings Jackson are merely indica-
tions of books in the library on the human mind in
health and disease.

One great curiosity must also be mentioned, the
"Lucida Intervalla," 1679, by James Carkesse, an
intermittent inmate of Bedlam, who plagued Pepys
so much. The quality of the verse is sufficient
justification for Carkesse's incarceration whenever
his lucidity was inadequate to its perpetration.

Neither are the more general medical works of
a uniformly utilitarian kind. Mainly, of course,
they outline the progress of medical knowledge in
such books as Currie's "Medical Reports," 1797,
in which cooling treatment for fevers was first
recommended and readings of the clinical thermo-
meter were first systematically charted, or Fothergill
"On Sore Throats," 1748, with its classical descrip-
tion of diphtheria. Barrough's "Methode of
Physick," 1583, of which S.T.C. records only one
copy, Clowes, "De morbo gallico," 1579, Cooke,
"Supplementum Chirurgiae," 1655, Cockayne,
"Leechdoms," Garth, "The Dispensary," 1699,

COPY

Readers' Opinion on fragment of Zilboorg and Henry's
HISTORY OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY

This is a work on the grand scale. The portion submitted (337 T/S pages) does not bring us to the end of the first chapter. Table of Contents gives ten chapters.

The part submitted (Primitive World, Ancient East, Greeks and Romans, Arabs, Middle-Ages) reads extremely well. It is scholarly, well-written, and most interesting. A piece of work that needed doing, and it has been exceedingly well done.

Whether the promise will be sustained in Chapters II to X, who can say?
But we are hopeful. These authors are not likely to turn out bad work.

We are a little puzzled as to where the most modern and most important trends are to come in. Chapter VI will include "trends during the last 50 years of the nineteenth century." What about contemporary psychotherapeutics, Freud & Co., on the one hand, and the Suggestionists on the other. They hardly belong to the period named, and demand at least a chapter to themselves.

The title is a curx. As it stands it is too broad and too vague.
"History of Medical Psychiatry" would restrict the field too much, for it does not deal with healing done....

We are appalled at the economic side of the problem. What will it cost to produce the book/ who will pay the piper; who will buy? Libraries, of course, but few private individuals. In the XVIIIth century it would have been issued by subscription.

A great work. We hope you will publish it. P.S. on further reflection we submit that the best title for this book would be:

A HISTORY OF MEDICAL PATHOLOGY

Perhaps add.... and Therapeutics. The addition would certainly apply to Chapter I. As an alternative, A HISTORY OF PSYCHOPATHY but we think this

REFERRING TO letter from
Dr. Gregory Zilboorg
28 West 54th Street
New York City

September 16, 1932

dated--

September 9, 1932

We have been unable to identify, either in our public catalog or in our Union Catalog of certain large American libraries, any work on Juan Luis Vives by Marcelino Menendez y Pelayo. We have found reference to such a work, as follows: "En el capítulo rotulado 'In dubiis libertas' de la 2ª parte de 'La ciencia española', anuncia el Sr. Menendez y Pelayo su pensamiento de escribir un libro con el título de 'Exposición e historia del Vivismo'. También en una nota de su doctísmo disertación sobre 'las vicistitudes de la filosofía platonica en España' (p. 102 de los 'Ensayos de crítica filosófica' ya mencionados) manifiesta el Sr. Menéndez y Pelayo su proposito de escribir una extensa monografía sobre la vida y obras del gran polígrafo de Valencia"; in: Adolfo Bonilla y San Martín. Luis Vives y la filosofía del Renacimiento. Madrid, 1929. V. 3, p. 172-173.

We do not find any biography of Vives by Menéndez y Pelayo or any book with the title "Exposición e historia del Vivismo" in bibliographies which we have consulted in the following books:

Miguel Artigas y Ferrando. Menéndez y Pelayo. Santander, 1927, p. 287-310.

Andres Gonzalez-Blanco. Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo, (su vida y su obra.) Madrid, 1912, p. 137-149.

Adolfo Bonilla y San Martín. Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo. Madrid, 1914, p. 173-261.

In the last mentioned volume we find (p. 238) the following item is noted: Biblioteca de jurisprudencia, filosofía e historia: Luis Vives, por A. Lange, autor de la "Historia del Materialismo". Traducción directa del aleman, revisada por M. Menéndez y Pelayo. Madrid, La España Moderna, Cuesta de Santo Domingo, 1894. There is also a note: "Sin fecha (detestable costumbre editorial): pero se acabo de imprimir en Agosto de 1894. Es versión del artículo de Lange, publicado en las págs. 776 á 851 del tomo IX de la 'Encyklopädie des gesamtem Erziehungs und Unterrichtswesens', del Dr. R. A. Schmid (Leipzig, 1887)". According to our Union Catalog there is a copy of the "Encyklopädie" in the Boston Public Library, but we do not locate a copy of the translation by Menéndez y Pelayo.

There is occasional mention of Vives in the works of Menéndez y Pelayo, as for example in the following volume: Historia de las ideas estéticas en España. Madrid, 1896, V. 3.

Dear Sir:

I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me some information
that, in working on a manuscript for Dr. Zilboerg, I find that I need?

The problem is this: Johann Weyer (Weir, Weirus, Wier) (1515-
1598) wrote a book entitled _De Praestigis Daemonum, et incantibus_
_veneficis, etc._, published in Basel in 1563. When a supplement to the
Index Librorum Prohibitorum of the Catholic Church was issued a few years
later, Weyer's name was listed as _autor primae classis_ which I understand
means that none of his writings were to be read. Could you tell me if
Weyer was so listed at that time? I should also like to know if in 1581
he was listed as _autor secundae classis_, so that only the _Praestigilis_
remained on the forbidden list; if in 1590 the Index again listed him as
_primae classis_; and, finally, what was the last date upon which the Index
listed Weyer and in what category.

I realize the work involved in getting this information. I
shall be most appreciative if you can conveniently send it to me. Thank
you very much indeed.

Dear Father Gardiner:

Dr. Gardiner, please accept my warmest thanks for your kind and detailed reply to my inquiry about the alleged Scobardi document. I appreciate the careful consideration which you have given to the matter and I am particularly gratified to find that my suspicions were justified. There is no doubt now that the 1839 booklet is a hoax, your inquiry of and naturally I have decided not to use it. Following information.

I am grateful more than I can tell for your help and only hope that I will have the opportunity sometime to be of service to you. I am compagnie de Jesus, or in the thirty-five-volume set of Nouvelle Biographie Generale. Nor does this order mention him.

If he were a prominent member of the Society of Jesus, his name would certainly have appeared in one or other of the works of biographical reference in our library. But there is no trace of him. The original source of the French booklet obviously is Italian. But Scobardi does not figure in any Italian work of reference. If the report was a confidential one addressed to the Congregation of the Index, it is more than doubtful that the Congregation allowed it to be published. In 1839 Rome was the capital of the Papal States, and the Congregation of the Index had full powers to allow or forbid the publication of any book at all in Rome, and as the original is alleged to have been published in Italian, it is not stretching the point too much to assume that it was published in Rome, if it was ever published in Italian at all.

I trust these few details will be of help in solving the problem of the genuineness of the report.

Dear Doctor Zilboorg:

In response to your inquiry of
July 8, I can give you only the following information.

The name Scobardi does not appear
in so authoritative a work of reference as Carayon's
Bibliographie Historique de la Compagnie de Jesus, or
in the thirty-five-volume set of Nouvelle Biographie
Generale. Nor does the new Herder mention him.

If he were a prominent member of
the Society of Jesus, his name would certainly have ap-
peared in one or other of the works of biographical ref-
erence in our library. But there is no trace of him.
The original source of the French booklet obviously is
Italian. But Scobardi does not figure in any Italian
work of reference. If the report was a confidential one
addressed to the Congregation of the Index, it is more
than doubtful that the Congregation allowed it to be
published. In 1839 Rome was the capital of the Papal
States, and the Congregation of the Index had full powers
to allow or forbid the publication of any book at all in
Rome, and as the original is alleged to have been pub-
lished in Italian, it is not stretching the point too
much to assume that it was published in Rome, if it was

Dear Father Gardiner:

Your name has been given to me, by the Guild Bookshop to whom I repeated my problem. I am now engaged in completing a book on the history of medical psychology, and in the course of my search for sources I came across a booklet published in 1839 in French, the title page of which reads as follows:

Rapport confidentiel sur le Magnétisme Animal et sur la conduite récente de L'Académie royale de Médecine adressé à la congrégation de l'index, Et traduit de L'italien du R. P. Seobardi. Par Ch. B., D.-M.-P. "Il faut en finir avec le Magnétisme." (M. Roux, Séance de l'Acad. roy. de Méd., du 24 Janvier 1837.) Seuxième édition. Paris, Dnutu, Palais-royal, galerie d'Orléans, 13; Germer Baillière, rue de l'école-de-médecine, 17 1839.

The facts as related in this book with regard to Mesmer and his followers are correct historically but certain truisms of phrases and also the fact that this is a confidential report to the Congregation of the Index made by a prominent member of the Society of Jesus and yet that it was made public make me suspicious. It is not impossible that a disservice will be done to the whole problem if the genuineness of the report is doubtful.

I am addressing myself to you in the hope that you will be willing and able to help me out in this matter. If the report is not genuine I do not want to quote from it any passages which deal with opinion. I want to thank you in advance for your great kindness, and I am,

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Thanking you for your kind letter of February
18, I shall be glad, indeed, to look you up sometime in New York,
but just when I am not able to say as I am very much taken up
with my avocations here. I shall be glad to see you any time
you may be able to get down to Baltimore; I am ordinarily at
the library all day long.

In regard to the matter of writing "forewords"
for books, I have been besieged by so many people and have
written so many that I have had to put up bars as a defensive
action, and if I break that rule I am sure to offend some friends,
who have made this request from time to time. In a general sort
of way, I think if the book is good in and for itself, it needs
no foreword.

Trusting you will understand my position in this
matter, I am, with kindest regards,

Dear Dr. Garrison:

It is a long time since I have been in touch
with you, and for this I have only myself to blame.
The last two years or so were very hard ones for me,
and I have been unable to keep in touch with many a
person of whom I did not want to lose sight.

Do you ever come to New York? If so, could
we not arrange a meeting? Too, I should like very much
to go to Baltimore to see your place and also, if I could,
to discuss some of the features of our History of
Psychiatry which is finally completed. It is to be pub-
lished by W. B. Norton & Co. A brief foreword to it is
to be written by René Semelaigne.

During the past two years I have visited most
of the important libraries of Europe; also many an old
shop. And I have collected some very interesting books,
some first editions and some unicorns. I should like
very much to show you some of them.

I write you now particularly in order to ask
whether you would not be willing to write an introduction
to our book. Dr. Henry and I would consider it a great
honor. The book is to appear either next fall or in
January, 1931.

With kindest remembrances, I am

July 2, 1941.

Dr. George W. Henry,
111 East 71st Street,
New York, N. Y.

Dear George:

I read over the part you have written. Your outline on Psychiatric Education is rather brief and it is not certain yet whether it will go in or not. As to Occupational Therapy I am afraid this will have to be left out in so far as the whole question of therapy is so big that it would require a separate book. Perhaps a book on the history of therapy of mental diseases could well be contemplated as a sequel to this one.

The problem that your two chapters presents (Organic Psychoses and Hospitals) is this: some of the things you mention relating to primitive people and Greece and Rome are too fragmentary to be conclusive and in so far as I resolved them in my part they will have to be crossed out to avoid repetition. Then there is the problem with your footnotes. These are rather casual as it were: in some you do not give the title of the article but only the name of the author and the publication; at times also the year of publication is omitted. There is no uniformity, however, so that the scientific value of the notes as references for readers to use is lost.

There is extremely little time left, yet whatever is to be corrected should be corrected. I wonder whether you have a carbon of the manuscript and whether you could have the footnotes properly fixed. It might prove advisable for you to drop into my office and take a look at the way we are doing it here and then proceed. We follow, at the insistence of the publisher, the style of the Chicago University Press. Suppose you give me a ring Monday and we will arrange for you to come to the office.

Gordially yours,

June 20 - 1939

Dr. George W. Henry,
Payne Whitney Clinic,
68 Street and York Avenue,
New York City.

My dear George:

This will confirm our conversation of last night covering
a few purely formal points which had to be cleared up before the con-
tract with Norton is signed for the publication of the "History of
Medical Psychology".

The topic on Organic Psychoses and Hospitals will be
covered in two chapters - the length of which will have to be deter-
mined by the remainder of the book. Since most of the work on these
chapters was done by you, you will have to condense them to the proper
length, following which I will edit them in order to bring them into an
uniform relationship with the rest of the History. The remainder of
the book - which means outside these two chapters - presents material
collected and written up by myself.

The title page will read:- "History of Medical Psychology"
(or some equivalent thereof on which the publisher and I might agree) by
Gregory Zilbeerg, M.D. in collaboration with George W. Henry M.D. I
shall mention in the preface that you contributed the two chapters
referred to above.

The question of royalties has to be arranged between Norton
and myself, with the understanding that you are to receive one-third of
these royalties.

These are, I believe, all the points covered in our conver-
sation. I shall appreciate it if you will acknowledge the receipt of
this letter, so that I may proceed with the drawing up of the contract
as soon as Mr. Norton returns from abroad the first week in July.

It was good to see you last night.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe,
Hulett's Landing,
Washington Co.
New York.

Dear Dr. Jelliffe:

Your letter reached me this morning, and by the time you return to New York I shall be ready to send you a brief memorandum in regard to the Massachusetts situation.

I am glad you asked me about my History of Psychiatry. It is a very painful subject to me, and I do hope that you will permit me to talk the matter over with you and seek your advice.

It is now almost five to six years since the History was ready, and the reason for it not being published is quite simple. Dr. Henry, as you probably know, is neither a historian nor even an intellectual. At the time I asked him to collaborate with me I did not need his help, but he was going through a severe period in his life; was profoundly depressed and withdrawn and in order to divert him, and to give him a sort of push, I suggested that he look up some material on the history of mental hospitals, as well as organic psychoses. This he did rather poorly and very unscientifically. It turned out - his statement to the contrary - that he neither spoke nor read any languages outside English, and all the data that he compiled were from second, third and fourth-hand sources in various American journals. The result was naturally deplorable, because the information proved to be extremely inaccurate and, of course, lacked any perspective and synthesis. In addition, Henry is a very stubborn, frightfully impatient,SPECIIST person. While I have been working, looking up sources and collecting material so as to correct (actually to supplant) the poor information he presented to me - which information by the way is not more than 5 or 10 per cent of the book, Henry became impatient and talked to everybody he could get hold of, saying that I was holding up the publication of the book; that the Jews are frightful people and that I being a Jew he could expect nothing from me but laziness and carelessness. Henry has two hates - the Roman Catholic Church and the Jews. These hates in him are combined, even in a lesser degree than average man, with no thinking. Henry is essentially an illiterate man from the cultural point of view, and his is a brain that gets easily exercised, but is never exerted with heavy thinking.

After one of his particularly vicious anti-Semitic outbursts, of which I learned, I finally confronted him with the facts. He, as is characteristic of such people, craved. He at first stated that I tried to re-write, throw out, or not use at all any of the notes he wrote, and second; he began to say that there were Jews and Jews. He did not deny his anti-Semitism, but tried to qualify it in the manner of a great many anti-Semites who are also conscious cowards. In such matters I prefer a Hitler; with the latter I always know where I stand.

-2-

I was in Bloomingdale hospital at the time. I told Dr. Russell frankly why, under the circumstances, I stood ready not to publish the thing at all rather than to have Henry's and my name associated under the same title. Dr. Russell has always been very anti-Semite, but his anti-Semite was always covered with a mask of quietness. He was careful and knew to whom to talk and not to talk, and to whom to express his views freely - although free expression has never been his forte. Russell never forgave me the fact that he accepted me on Thomas W. Salmon's instatement as a member of the staff of Bloomingdale hospital, only to discover later that I was a Jew, and thus by becoming the first Jewish member of the staff in the history of Bloomingdale hospital, I broke the precedent. Since that time Hitler came, and the question of anti-Semite naturally became a more important issue to me. Added to this was the fact that with the death of Raynor, who was a dear friend and who planned an academic future for me, I had to give up all hope of such a career - a career which was always dearer to me than sitting and making money, and studying and reading at night, instead of doing my research work at leisure.

Henry, in the meantime, was promoted to Associate professor, and to the difficulties which I have mentioned, was added another one. I did not feel like publishing a book with my name bearing me authoritative title, and Henry designated as Associate Professor of Psychiatry.

I want very much to publish the book; two or three publishers are after me to get the book out and I wish I were able to find a decent way of publishing it without Henry. Perhaps you will be good enough to help me with your advice? As a matter of fact, there is something fatal about the situation. I was to discuss the matter with Raynor and he promised me that he would suggest a way out. We were to talk the matter over on the very Saturday morning that he died.

So there I stand, with almost twelve years of serious research work all over Europe looked up in my drawer. And uncomfortably so.

Please get in touch with me upon your return to New York. With my very best wishes and regards.

Yours sincerely,

White Plains, N.Y.

August 31, 1931.

Dear Gregory,

I was glad to have your letter of two days ago in
spite of its painful contents since it offers an opportunity
to discuss some misunderstandings. I believe I understand now
many of the sources of difficulty which have stood in the way
of bringing to completion the history of psychiatry book. I
believe I appreciate the embarrassing situation in which you now
find yourself as outlined in your letter and I hope that what I
may have to say may clear the atmosphere.

In the beginning of your letter you comment upon
my reading a paper on history before the International Hospital
Association while you were in Europe and without consulting or
including you. In this instance the topic was selected for me,
the paper I read dealt only with institutional treatment in the
United States and the material used was entirely the result of
my own research. At the meeting I was not given sufficient time
to read even an abstract of the paper. The publication of the
book seemed so remote at that time that it did not occur to me
to say anything about it. I realize now that it was a mistake
not to do so, at least to mention it in a footnote.

When you spoke to me about this some time later I
noted that you were also offended over the omission so that ever
since I have tried to be careful. I did not even know that the
medical society on Long Island printed a program and I corrected
the omission by announcing at the meeting and in the informal
discussion that followed that we were both engaged in writing
the history of psychiatry. Even at this meeting there was nothing
presented which was not the result of my own independent research.
If you should wish to verify whether you were mentioned and given
full credit for your historic research I would suggest that you
communicate with the Superintendent of Kings Park State Hospital.

In a few days the second edition of my book will
be published and in three different places in the book the coming
publication of a history of psychiatry by Zilboorg and Henry is
mentioned. As this book is sold all over the United States and
in Great Britain in addition to the occasional copies that have
found their way into other countries I fail to understand how
you can now at least feel that you have not been given due credit
for your work.

A considerable portion of your letter is devoted to
the question of friendship and loyalty. It should be unnecessary
to remind you of the concrete evidence of our friendly and loyal
relationship. I was deeply impressed with the fact that you were
the only one who openly and spontaneously participated as a real
friend in my domestic troubles of 1925. You will recall however
that before I went to Nevada I was already active in trying to
straighten out some of your difficulties at the hospital and that
for about two years after my return I was the only one who pled
your case. I even tried to soften the attitude of Dr. Pringle.
You will recall that I listened attentively over a long period
of time to other difficulties which you have had and sincerely

2.

tried to help you with the problems which you presented. There has never been an occasion when you have asked me to intercede for you or in some way try to pave the way for something that you wanted at Bloomingdale and elsewhere that I did not do it promptly to the best of my ability. You do not know that it had been suggested to me that I accept the year's scholarship in Europe even before you became eligible and that even though I wished to go to Europe when you went I purposely did not make my wishes known so that you might go instead. As far as I can judge all of this was done in the spirit of friendship and loyalty and you know that some of my endeavors in this respect were made no longer than a few months ago.

You will recall that when the book was first mentioned you estimated that it would be completed within a year. You were going to finish it before you went to Europe, before you returned, before I went to Europe or at least by the time I returned, etc. I do not have to depend upon my memory in regard to this as you had long conversations in the presence of Eleanor on this subject. For a while I used to ask you how and then how you were getting along but I observed that it was a painful topic and finally dropped it. It was not unnatural however that I should begin to wonder.

I realize that you have received some unpleasant shocks as you have mentioned but I would like to call your attention to some more facts. While you were in Europe and representing to me that you were spending all available time on the book I learned through a letter which you wrote to someone else that you had arranged to translate a book for Alexander. You have never explained to me just how this could happen but I assumed that you had very good reasons and said nothing about it to you.

You know that you continued to write and publish papers but you do not realize that I did not write a single article until the part of the book which you assigned to me was finished and delivered to you. I assumed that you would make use of it as you did with the first part which I had delivered to you, i.e. that you would weave into a book according as you saw fit. I have already told you in the presence of Eleanor that it was never intended as a finished product nor as anything which should remain intact. Since then I have been waiting, at times somewhat impatiently.

As to the reliability of what you might write regarding the history of psychiatry there have been two occasions on which Dr. Russell questioned me regarding this. On both occasions I assured him that I had no doubt your historical productions would be as scientific and accurate as was possible to make them. I have never had any conversations with anyone else on this subject. Under the circumstances it is unfortunate that we do not entirely agree regarding psychoanalysis but it is distinctly another subject.

It is unfortunate that my personal experiences with members of the Hebrew faith or race have been largely unpleasant but I still hope for concrete evidence that my feeling is unjustified. You refer to a he-man coming into the open and since this phrase has many implications I wonder just how you would justify letting me express my feelings about Jews to you for several years without giving me the least inkling that I was continually wounding your feelings. You confided all sorts of

3.

personal details which you know I could not divulge and yet I did
not know that I was wounding a close friend until I went to Germany.
I would have been pleased to have known in the beginning that there
were at least two of your race who did not merit any of the ill-
feeling which I have had. You can appreciate also that you could
have thus spared two of your friends a great deal of embarrassment.

Ordinarily when anything unkind is reported to have
been said by a friend about a friend it is more usual to go to the
friend directly to learn the facts. I am much more outspoken than
some of your more recent friends but I wonder if you are justified
in accepting reports of conversations which are bound to be dis-
torted. You saw me very frequently and I have never hesitated to
tell you the truth in the past. The phrase "damned jew" is so
universal that it seems to have little meaning but even so I do
not recall even in my most excited moments having referred to you
in this way. If I have I regret it very much.

You know that Eleanor does not share my racial
prejudice at all and that she has opposed me whenever I expressed
it. I must confess, however, that with the indefinite postpone-
ment regarding the book she too began to have some doubts. I have
been deeply impressed by the struggles which you have had because
of racial prejudice and as far as you and Ray were concerned I
have tried to overcome mine.

As far as the present status of the book is con-
cerned we had a definite understanding in the beginning and sub-
sequently that we would finish together and I feel that that under-
standing still holds. I appreciate the amount of original work you
have done but I also have conscientiously studied all sources to
which I had access including what I obtained from you. As your
name appears first and you have therefore greater responsibility
for its content I am perfectly willing now as in the past that you
should use as much or as little of my contribution as you may see
fit.

If there are any other difficulties or misunderstandings preventing the completion of this work or blocking an old friendship I would much rather deal with them directly and promptly.

I sincerely hope that you are finding your present
work and environment satisfying. Eleanor joins me in sending best
wishes for Ray, yourself and the baby.

Very sincerely yours,

in the successful course of my analytical work,
and thus felt that your affective explosions were
well met. You will be interested, for instance,
to know that the alcoholic patient who, when
presented in staff meeting, aroused you to a
most "outspoken private propaganda" against
analysis in general and against the analysis of
that case in particular, turned out after
several months of analysis to be the only al-
coholic who in the course of the past two years
has left Blo mingdale without getting drunk
within forty-eight hours or one week after
leaving. He attends "alcoholic dinners" and
suppers, and consistently refuses a drink.
It was this sort of thing that served as an
effective reaction against your hostility, and
since these facts were and are known to all
concerned, a queer situation arose: it began
to look as if you were fighting me personally;
people began to talk about it and to wonder,
and I found myself wondering every now and
then about your loyalty. After all, we were
supposed to be writing a book together--
weren't we! Now could we do it if you snatched
at every opportunity to give the impression
that I did not know what I was talking about.
Yet despite the cumulative effect of these
irritating facts, I used to dispose of them
with a "You know Henry--one must take him as
he is." However, a few things which came to
my attention recently made me face the situation
in a different light and have caused me a great
deal of painful concern. I talked the matter
over with Ray, but then, I thought, Ray was
my wife and could not help being partial to me;

my opinion in regard to your cautiousness and
my faith in your loyalty soon came to complete
grief, for you betrayed a striking lack of
both caution and loyalty when you began to
talk about me to others approximately in the
following manner: according to your lights
I was a man whose word should not be trusted,
an egotistic man who is only after his own
interests, a man without a scientific con-
science, a man who overstates and understates
scientific data to suit his own ends, a typical
damned Jew. As you are well aware, I know
your extreme racial intolerance and your hatred
of Jews. Well, after having heard some rumors,
I talked to you one evening about myself, the
massacres of Jews etc. This conversation had
absolutely little effect, for it was months
after that you chose to brand me as a
typical damned Jew, and by means of the emotion
of racial prejudice you hoped to gratify the
hostile impulses which you felt against me.
Well, George, you know as well as I do, that
a real he-man comes out into the open and says
what he has on his mind: he does not need to
fight behind one's back; this type of fighting
would rather fit your conception of a damned
Jew, and it is as surprising as it is painful
to find it in you.

Thus when I learned that you were
brandishing your blind racial prejudices
behind my back, I was nearly stunned. I may
and do, or try to tolerate and forgive a lot--
but there is one thing that I cannot forgive;
that is racial hatred.

Under the circumstances you will understand I cannot feel meek and humble when I think about your personal appeal to racial prejudice. This has made me lose all my interest in the book. Despite most serious effort I could not finish the last chapter, and somehow find it impossible to think of myself associated with you in any kind of undertaking--social or scientific. I have thought about it a great deal, and have tried to come to a decision which would be fair, but have found it impossible repeatedly to say anything different from what I just said. Would you volunteer a suggestion?

I cannot help but go over in my mind some circumstances and incidents in connection with the book and wonder: with my facility in talking and writing I could have written and read a number of papers on the subject before the book appeared. Had I done so, you would probably have used it as an additional proof of my self-centered Jewish self-promotion.

I have no doubt that you somehow squared with yourself your reading two papers on something which was not wholly yours, but I cannot rid myself of the feeling that what you did would fit in with the popular preconception of certain types of Jews. I cannot help but feel that it was you who were ready to consider the book finished *before* I began to comb every available source in European libraries. In other words I was eagerly searching for and verifying complex facts, while you were accumulating hostility and racial prejudice and accused me of manufacturing facts. And yet, as I said,

I could forgive a great deal, if all this were
done in the open and not behind my back.
I could forgive still more, if you had not
given vent to a Jew-baiting feeling which is
so universal, common, stupid, and so totally
unscientific. We have thus reached an impasse
and I wonder whether we can do anything about it.
I feel certain that my part of the book could
stand by itself, particularly since the major-
ity of facts from the tenth to the twentieth
century were collected by me (I spent almost
three thousand dollars on books and trips to
various libraries) and since the abbreviations
suggested by various publishers concern your
transcriptions from various articles or other
lists of quotations which made the thing
unnecessarily bulky.

I want to say in conclusion that I fully appreciate the difficult emotional situation you will find yourself in after you read this letter, for I was terribly pained myself and it took me several months before I was able to quiet down and write. You have worked hard, I know. But you will also appreciate that in addition to hard work one needs to possess a great measure of cultural perspective, respect for facts, a scientific conscience, and a capacity for loyalty--qualities which you so vehemently denied in me (behind my back) and on which you yourself stumbled so badly.

She boasted of even being able to produce earthquakes. By means of shouts and lies she succeeded in subjugating all the spirits so that people began to follow her orders and do anything she wished. The evil spirit which possessed her made her walk barefooted over snow and ice throughout a severe winter, and she experienced no harm. She seduced one of the priests, Rusticus, and also a deacon. It was soon discovered that she had evil relations with the two men. A man highly commendable, an exorcist, was sent to see her and say his exorcisms, but strangely enough the woman got it into her head, just before the exorcist arrived, to announce that a hostile man, a seducer and unbeliever, was coming to fight her. The woman was so impertinent that she had no fear of profaning the Holy Sacraments, since she herself said mass and administered baptism.

Hence a great question arises: is baptism, when administered by the devil in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, at all valid?

My dear Father Moore:

May I presume and impose myself on your good
will?

In working over some details of my forthcoming
*History of Medical Psychology* I find that I am uncertain
about a few points. I am unable, for instance, to find the
text of the Seventy-fifth Epistle of St. Cyprian and any
advice from you will be more than appreciated.

Then there is Wayer's (Wierus') *De Prestigio
Daemonum* and *De Laminis*. Up to 1896 or so these were on
the Index. Wayer was at one time considered *Außer primae
Gleизis* but later he was listed as *secundae classis*. I do
not want to be inaccurate and I am under the impression
that his name was removed from the Index. Am I right?

As soon as I have finished my book (about mid-
July) I promise myself the pleasure of visiting you if I
may to continue our very pleasant conversation which we
started in Richmond.

I wish also to thank you for the usefulness of
which your *Cognitive Psychology* proved to me in reviewing
some of the trends of the seventeenth century.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Here's to acknowledge your note of December 8th
and at the same time to offer the explanation of the error in
the table of contents in the circular. It happened like this:
the copy went correctly to the printer but the printer just
couldn't believe his eyes! when he saw Dr. Henry's name injected
into the table of contents. He therefore set it up "Epilogue
by George W. Henry"; this was corrected on the telephone
when we saw proof, but in making the correction he still got
the name one chapter too high. Of course the real reason the
error occurred is this damned delay in getting quotes which held
up the circular until the very last minute. If you knew how
many telephone calls I made to get McKenna to hold his mailing
and to get that quote from dear old Dr. Hall, I am sure you would
understand the difficulties we faced in getting that circular
out at all in time for Christmas business. But I like to think
in any case that you would be generous about this very small slip
which I am sure cannot affect sales nor have any effect on
the reader when he gets the book in his hands.

P.S. I am returning the announcement from The Group and thanks for
letting me see it.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I am happy to send you enclosed a copy of our letter and circular which has just gone out to our mailing list of some 5000 persons interested in psychiatric books, including all the professional Associations. I am also enclosing one of the circulars which all the representative medical booksellers are sending out. The mailing should run close to 20,000 in all and we hope will carry its message. It occurs to me that you may want to have a handful of our circular, which has no order form, (we enclose our own) in our mailing) in your office so that when some one writes in inquiring about the book Miss Stone can reply for you in this simple way by sending the circular. I know other doctors who have done this - men of fine professional position and I can see no reason why you shouldn't, but if you feel to the contrary, of course I shall understand.

Meantime about the Journal of Social Philosophy and Jurisprudence - we are not sending them a copy for the reason, frankly, that they ask for practically every book we publish and have for a long time; we simply have to draw the line somewhere and, my dear fellow, this is to be one of the occasions. As a matter of fact, the record of complimentary copies for review and to talkers on your book is now way over the top and consequently we wouldn't like you to feel that we are being tight about this. It's only that we have to use our judgment and experience.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

This letter is written to bring you up to date on how we are working on your book here. First, advertising has been scheduled for appearance in the leading intellectual mediums such as the Nation, the New Republic, *Harpers* and Atlantic, the *New York Times* and the *Herald Tribune*, the largest space going to the Times of the 30th where we are taking a full page in which you book will be featured. Then of course we have booked a half page at your suggestion in the *American Journal of Psychiatry*.

Our principal concern now is with the circular. We really should go to press on it next week to make sure that the circulars are in the hands of all the stores who have promised to mail them out with their December 1st statements. Would you, then, have the kindness to send us that little blurb which you offered to give us a lift on, since the present jacket blurb is designed more for the non-professional reader? And, incidentally, if any people have written you whose statements could be used in the circular, please send them along.

P.S. I suppose you have seen the little review Fadiman has given us in the *New Yorker* this week. And a nice review has just come in from the Scientific Book Club who have made your book their No. 1 recommendation, following the major selection.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I make the experience that it is always better to keep the record as straight and clear as possible, and I make the further experience that in conversation it is easy to generalize and generalizations may not always be based on facts. So it was when Mr. Farlow answered your question about how much it would cost to produce 5,000 copies of the projected HISTORY OF AMERICAN PSYCHIATRY, quoting you an estimate of $2,000, which I believe he even qualified that it might not be as much as $1,500, I thought it wise to have Mr. Wilson, who actually does our buying from the printers, do you a little estimate on the basis of present day costs. You will see from this enclosed estimate, which is quite informal, being written in long hand, that the sum is considerably larger. I thought in the circumstances it was wise to forward this to you.

At the same time I enclose a letter addressed to our Sales Manager, Storer Lunt, during both our holidays, referring to the continued usual interest existing in Fenichel's OUTLINE OF CLINICAL PSYCHOANALYSIS. In March of 1940, after you and I had had a little casual talk about this, at the request of Dr. Gosselin, we prepared an estimate for a possible new and revised edition. This we submitted to Dr. Gosselin at the address of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly under date of March 31. We did not hear from him in acknowledgment, but I take it that a new edition would require an initial subsidy of $1,000. Judging by the orders we continue to receive, such as the one enclosed, I believe one might say that whatever institution backed such a project might look forward to eventually receiving a return on their initial subvention. However, I do not want to press this matter, but only am reporting it.

Page 2 -MEMORANDUM TO DR.ZILBOORG

August 11, 1941

For Freud did receive another honor, the greatest British science can bestow. For he was made a Foreign Fellow of the Royal Society shortly after his arrival in England. My friend Sir Henry Dale told me about it when I was in London in 1939 -- how since Freud was ill, they dispensed with the usual formalities and he, the Secretary of the Society, waited on Freud personally. I expect to get an English edition of your book and this omission would surely make for hard feeling. Am quite curious to know what decided you. While speaking of Freud, let me say I think you pay him tribute and avoid eulogy -- a very happy quality in a historian.

Page 693. Is this word repetition ("number") deliberate?

Page 703. Slip.

Page 707. The Epilogue should not be set as a chapter section but as a separate chapter. I'm sure Dr. Farlow will prescribe this treatment.

**N.B.** Rene Semelaigne's reference to Clifford Beers raised a question I had already in mind. Here is a History of Medical Psychology, written by an American for Americans, and no reference is made to the role or work of Clifford Beers ( and the formation of the National Mental Hygiene Committee) and the "Mental Hygiene Movement." By the same token, don't you think that at least a passing reference might be made to Dr. Salmon? Surely his attitude toward psychoanalysis persuaded a great many American physicians. And the "Salmon Memorial Lectures" and their yearly publication have been very helpful to the movement. I should think it very advisable to have his name in the Index.

**Conclusion.** I can truly say that I read this manuscript with only the greatest zest; to be quite honest I was only slightly bored at one point -- nineteenth-century French psychiatrists. I mean, of course, the lesser fry that followed Pinel and preceded Charcot. Incidentally, your Mesmer was swell ! And now -- D., & AT & S.F. & N.Y.C., V -- I'll be back with the manuscript on Tuesday.

Mr. W. W. Norton,

New York City.

Dear Mr. Norton:

I have before me your two letters, the one of July 14th and the other of July 17th. I failed to answer some of the points you raised in your letter until now because, as you might have heard, I was busy finishing a book. Now as to your suggestions:

With regard to endocrinology, mss. page 30. The sentence might be made to read as follows: "Yet he also believed in the physiological theory, in our days represented by psychiatric endocrinology." This will settle your worries.

With regard to the reference to the Flagellants on page 152: I don't share with you your fears about what some readers might read into this sentence instead of out of it, but I fully realize that a worried publisher is even worse than an unorganized army and I suggest the following remedy. We shall have the sentence read as follows: After the words "under the name of 'self-burners'", we might include the words "remnants of these self-punishing religious groups persisted in the old and new world even later."

About page 165: Your suggestion is cheerfully accepted. We will create out "the lot of which" and it will read "which was to become".

About Dr. Henry: I must confess I have been thinking and thinking hard and must admit not without discomfort, and I arrived at the following conclusion in which I hope you will concur. Miss Zimmerman has now the Table of Contents as it is to appear in its final form. You will note that I omitted any mention of Part II or Appendix or Supplement. Anything except the words Part II might have to be taken up with Dr. Henry and then more problems will be raised than we could solve. Since, however, we decided to make clear to the reader which chapters were written by whom, the arrangements of the Table of Contents will tell it very simply and obviate any discussions or touching upon anybody's sensibilities.

About "iatro", I am surprised at you. You say you were stumped. When you use the word "psychiatry" which means the medicine of the psyche, "iatr" means doctor. Therefore I think the whole problem will be properly solved if we eliminate any possible disturbances in the mind of a peaceful reader by doing the following: line 9 from the bottom of page 302 could read as follows: "iatro-physicist, that is to say, a medical physicist." The rest will be understood.

This will take care of the suggestions made by you thus far. The full manuscript is now in your hands. Miss Zimmerman and Miss Stone made arrangements for some supplementary corrections to be made in the course of this week as soon as you come back and bring with you the latter part of the manuscript. The material for illustrations is in the hands of Mr. Parlow.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I read Chapter 7 last night with mounting enthusiasm. Your picture of the Age of Enlightenment is enlightening indeed. Let me repeat what I said in my last letter, namely, that I urge you now to drop the practice of medicine and devote yourself entirely to writing, which you need no practice to practice. As a matter of fact, you really must think about another book. I mean a book before you write your Autobiography, because, of course, someday you will write that ! Let's talk about this seriously when we have a little celebration at the time of publication in the fall.

Meantime, this chapter really presents no problems, except I was stumped by your use of "iatro" in various connections. I have never seen this anywhere before and, as the public for this book is surely beyond a strictly medical one, I am wondering if I could persuade you to give those of us who are not medical men a lift. It could be done by implication in the text I feel very sure.

Returning now to your letter of July 15. It was very nice of you to write me as you did. I had so little to offer by way of editorial suggestions that I was glad that what was offered you felt of some value.

You ask about my dates. I am to be at Vermejo Ranch, Wagon Mound, New Mexico, from Sunday, July 20, until Monday morning, August 4. But as we are planning to leave by car fairly early that morning final date of arrival of any manuscript from the East had better be thought of in terms of Saturday, the 2nd. Mrs. Norton and I are then planning to drive up to Denver to meet our daughter and then we are planning to spend two or three days with some relatives who own a ranch in Colorado Springs. Then I will come East, to arrive back the first of the week of the 10th; so I am very much hoping that before I leave I will have the remainder of the manuscript, which I will promise to read instantly and mail it back to Miss Zimmermann at the office with any comments, which she can present to you.

Meantime Mr. Farlow will be very happy to confer with you about the illustrations just as soon as you have finished work on the manuscript. Toward the end of August, during the period when the book is being set, we should have a little get-together to deal with the questions of complimentary copies in the right direction, books to be sent for review, and so forth. We have a questionnaire, which we will send you in advance, relating to these matters. Then, after you have studied it, we can have a conference. I want to assure you in the meantime that our policy in

July 15, 1941

I don't know if I can afford a break - not only for reasons of time but also because I have a profound respect for a number of this order. I think I will let my talk and take the responsibility for his own sake. There still be some work in the book, and this is Figure's independent work. I could not write a better book for the order at this time. I should like to see the eighteenth, or maybe to the sixteenth century book still be read and used by every student, and I think it would be a great help in the class of references for the general reader. I hope so.

Dear Mr. Norton:

These days being what they are it is time for action - not
talk. Hence I write this prompt reply to your letter instead of telephoning.

Your suggestions about the manuscript are true, correct, to the
point. I must congratulate you, for you are a keen reader. The few
changes or amendments which you suggest will be complied with, within
the limits of compatibility with the general plan of the book. About
those flagellants for instance. I know of course about them in the
U. S. A. as I know about the Holy Rollers - a form of mass convulsive
disorders - but up to the seventeenth century this good and great continent
of ours had no effect on Europe and since the seventeenth the medieval
remnants here played no part in the growth of psychiatry. Moreover,
the flagellants here are an adaptation to primitive trends as they were
found here, while in Europe they were a part of the general evolution
of the Christian civilization - an aberration of it. About endocrinology
- of course the endocrinologist, if he is a good scientist, does not
believe in his psychiatric omnipotence, but the psychiatrist who
appoints himself an endocrinologist does. The point will be clarified.

About the Papal Bull. It is good to publish it in full. Those
who will not read it all will miss a point. On the other hand, a number
of people, in and out of psychiatric circles, in and out of historical,
academic circles, formalists, etc., would be glad to have the text.
As far as I know it is the first and only time it appears in English in
this country. Being a document, it becomes a text. Being a text, it
makes the book in part a source book, which enhances the durability of
it (in point of time). If I were to summarize the Bull and analyze it,
I might have had to be more voluble and even disrespectful to the Pope,
particularly to this one who never made a secret that Innocent though he
was, he had grown-up children and officially recognized them as such.

So I respectfully let him speak for himself and not offend anybody. Moreover, I don't want to offend a Pope - not only for reasons of tact but also because I have a profound respect for a number of things in Roman Catholicism and do not wish to be misunderstood. When the Pope talks I let him talk and take the responsibility for his own words. There will be one more text in the book, and this is Pinel's "Introduction" to the first edition (1801) of his Traité. I could not write a better analytical P. S. to the eighteenth, or preface to the nineteenth, century than Pinel. Such a text will be read and used by every student, and again this puts the book, at least in part, in the class of reference books as well as books for the "general" but enlightened reader.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Many thanks for the complimentary things you say about the writing. Coming from you - whose professional attitude is of necessity cool and detached - they are particularly gratifying.

As I told Mlle. Zilboorg, the material already received and read by me with time giving you my reaction to the manuscript, I already feel very much at ease with your prose. This includes your manuscript, through Chapter VI and the so-called "Preface." I have already sent you, through Miss Stone, to tell you how very much I enjoyed my reading. I use this word deliberately. We are continually publishing books by professionals, and I have no feeling for the words to choose from. I am a little uncertain about your plans in this connection.

As to Henry - yes, we will work out something respectable. Yes - or no - there are no other organic psychoses. I deal with a few others of minor importance in my text.

When do you come back? I would like to discuss with you the question of having the book reviewed on time and well, and want to know your plans in this connection.

Have a good time and a good rest.

I have no literary editorial suggestions to make and I believe Miss Zimmermann, who is preparing the manuscript for the printer, has had only a very few matters to discuss with Miss Stone. Here, then, are my questions.

Yours sincerely,

I make it that, paradoxically but correctly, your foreword will be the last word written and that it will be a good one.

P. S. The manuscript is being prepared at full speed and you will not be delayed on our account so It should not pray on your mind during your vacation - if it is not too soon on my part to think thus of my opus and its fate.

I have read Chapter II of your novel which appears at the top of page. I quote: "Let he who would be a little safer to modify this statement by saying "represented by the views of some endocrinologists." The reason I make this suggestion is that I have been attempting to persuade Dr. Hopkins, whose most recent book ENDOCRINOLOGY we have just published this spring, to express himself on this very subject. He has consistently refused to do so, saying that endocrinologists do not yet know enough about the subject to write about it. What I am suggesting here is that it is not fair to men like Hopkins to suggest a position which, as you will see from the above, they are not prepared to take. In the above circumstances I am sure you will want to think about some modification here which will avoid such an implication.

In Chapter IV, page 152, in referring to the flagellants you say that "such groups were still to be found in Russia as late as the seventeenth century..." I wonder if you know that they were found even later than that on our continent, since in New York there is a record of their unfortunate activities which I understand extended as late as the last century. What I am fearful of here is that someone might read in this sentence the notion that after the seventeenth century there were no more

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

As I told Miss Stone this morning, I am getting off to you a little letter at this time giving you my reaction to the material already received and read by me with such very great pleasure. This includes your manuscript through Chapter VI and the so-called Part II contributed by Dr. Henry.

I have already sent message to you, through Miss Stone, to tell you how very much I enjoyed my reading. I use this word deliberately. We are continually publishing books by professional men who really know their stuff but who have no feeling for the words to write about it. As I wrote to our sales manager and am now writing to all our salesmen, I regard your manuscript as the finest literary historical work that has ever come into our shop. I can't say more than this because I am not in a position to pass on the manuscript historically, although, here again, I have the impression that as a psychiatrist you are also a very fine historian. In consequence I have no literary editorial suggestions to make and I believe Miss Zimmermann, who is preparing the manuscript for the printer, has had only a very few matters to discuss with Miss Stone. Here, then, are my questions.

I take it that, paradoxically but correctly, your foreword will be the last word written and that I will see it later.

I have no questions to raise on either the Prologue or Chapter I. In Chapter II I beg you to consider the statement which appears at the top of page. I quote: "Yet he also believed in the physiological theory, in our days represented by endocrinology, which claims that certain body juices are responsible for madness." Don't you think it would be a little safer to modify this statement by saying "represented by the views of some endocrinologists"? The reason I make this suggestion is that I have been attempting to persuade Dr. Hoskins, whose most recent book *ENDOCRINOLOGY* we have just published this spring, to express himself on this very subject. He has consistently refused to do so, saying that endocrinologists do not yet know enough about the subject to write about it. What I am suggesting here is that it is not fair to men like Hoskins to suggest a position which, as you will see from the above, they are not prepared to take. In the above circumstances I am sure you will want to think about some modification here which will avoid such an implication.

In Chapter IV, page 152, in referring to the Flagellants you say that "such groups were still to be found in Russia as late as the seventeenth century..." I wonder if you know that they were found even later than that on our continent, since in New Mexico there is a record of their unfortunate activities which I understand extended as late as the last century. What I am fearful of here is that someone might read in this sentence the notion that after the seventeenth century there were no more

Flagellants anywhere.

I understand from Miss Zimmermann that you have fully considered the question of quoting the whole of the papal bull which begins on page 160. Very well then -- thy will be done -- although I wonder how many people will read it all?

Would you mind, however, dropping out the expression "the lot of which" on page 165, as I found that on my first and second readings that this rather odd, but of course correct, phrase somewhat confused me. In other words, I think it would really be simpler if the sentence read "which was to become," with the omission of the words "the lot of" and "it."

At this point I do want to say that I think this chapter on "The Blows of the Witches' Hammer" is not only one of the most fascinating things I have ever read, but also contains some of the best writing. You are able to get across the quality of the Renaissance in an extraordinarily vivid way and that repetitive phrase of yours, "it was the age," really sings.

The quotation on page 239 contains in the parentheses which I have marked with a question mark a phrase which I take it to mean "I err." Is this correct?

And now to acknowledge your memorandum with Dr. Henry's material. I don't frighten easily nor am I easily discouraged. But I might have been if this material had appeared in the body of the book. But your suggestion that it become a sort of second part is a happy solution to a difficult problem, of which I'm not telling you: The only question in my mind is whether it rates part organization. If we add Parts I and II what would you call Part I and what would you call Part III? Ordinarily, two parts balance; this is a sort of tail wagging the dog. Our own notion here is that we dignify this section with the heading "Appendix." Mr. Farlow is away at the moment, but I am sure that when he comes back on Wednesday he will bear me out from the angle of good bookmaking that it is much more appropriate to have this material appear as an appendix than as a so-called part.

On page 12 I wonder if you would ask Dr. Henry to locate Suleimanie, as it is not clear where it is and I think the reader will want to know this.

Then the real question which I have in mind about this material is whether the reader will expect his second chapter or category entitled "Organic Mental Diseases" to be all inclusive. As it now stands there is a long section on general paralysis and then several short sections dealing with senile psychoses, Alzheimer's Disease, and delirium tremens. Are these all the organic mental diseases there are is the question which the reader is likely to ask as the manuscript now stands. But perhaps this question can be answered in your foreword.

If it would simplify matters to answer these various questions by telephone, please feel free to call me up. Meantime I have arranged with Miss Stone to read another batch of manuscript Wednesday night, when I will write you my reactions Thursday morning, to be available to you Friday morning. I leave on Friday afternoon and have arranged with my office to send the remainder of your manuscript by first-class mail

to New Mexico where I will read it instantly and return it with a memorandum
to the office, which will then take up with you immediately any questions which
the reading raises. In this way we ought to get the manuscript to press
by the end of the month, which should be in time to have books available by
the end of October as planned.

Best thanks for your friendly note of the 4th.

I will look forward to seeing you on either
Wednesday or Thursday of next week at 5:45, since the following
Wednesday, the 19th, is out as I have promised our apartment to
our mutual friend Dr. Carl Binger for a meeting of the Willard

As regards the choice of Wednesday or Thursday
of next week my position here is this. Lancelot Hogben is arriving
the first of the week with his wife and is to sail on a British
steamer one day that week. The date and time of sailing is not
announced until a few days before sailing. He will be staying
in our apartment and I will want to see him off at the ship as this
is no ordinary sailing. I should know on Monday whether it is to
be Wednesday or Thursday. So, perhaps, you will be good enough
to hold 5:45 on these two evenings until Monday when I will telephone
you which date is possible.

P.S. I have just discovered that Wednesday, February 12th, is a

Dear Mr. Norton:

You are mistaken. Your letter was not unwelcome, for I have a valid suspicion that I am more eager to put the manuscript into your hands than you are to have it. After all, you are the publisher of many books while I, at least for the present, have only one book. So let us agree and hope that your preoding will not irritate me and that my slight delay will not anger you.

These have been frightful months. The most single track minds could not help but be affected and therefore distracted by the crushing march of events, and it has been no less difficult for me to be working with the necessary efficiency than for thousands of others. The manuscript, however, will appear on your desk shortly and will not disappoint you.

The mutual and reciprocal discomfort which you and I are experiencing in this preliminary phase of bringing out the book will not last long and will probably be forgotten soon without regret or even notice.

In consequence I am writing you to let you know that I am quite mindful, as I trust you are, of the date of July 15th. And I am hoping that I will have a message from you within a few days to say that the manuscript is ready for us to go to work on.

In this connection may I also say that our work on this book will take three to four months and that if we are to do a proper job, and only a proper job must be done, and with an early November publication date as one of the ingredients of success, we really have little time to lose. So won't you give me a reassuring word?

Dear Mr. Norton:

As you will notice, I made a few, very slight changes in the announcement. I also made a few suggestions to Mr. Parlow on the telephone. "The History ..." is very presumptuous, and will deservedly get some annihilating criticism. I wish it were *The History* - but it is only *A History*.

As to my declaration of independence; I accept the suggestion and the challenge. What I won't accept is a premature and forcible declaration of independence of a baby about to be born. If it is yanked out forcibly by means of forceps - even on a glorious fourth of July with the air filled with firecrackers - it may live. But it might prove so weak that it would be unable to uphold even a miniature flag.

I am for bigger and better babies, even if labour takes a few hours - or even days longer. Never mind the mother; she can stand even prolonged labour.

Here's the proposed announcement for your book. We hope you will be flattered when we tell you it is the only book in our autumn catalogue to which we plan to devote two pages. So we need not cut, but we do want to have it in such shape that you will not be ashamed to have it read by your colleagues and at the same time, have it carry enough "selling" appeal to assure an audience beyond your colleagues. That is why we believe it absolutely essential to have some of the human interest, biographical material which you so kindly sent us in your swell letter of the 24th.

And now I send you, with Mr. Farlow's compliments and best hopes and aspirations for its approval, the sketch of the proposed jacket for your book. If it raises any questions in your mind, will you give Mr. Farlow a ring? Otherwise will you call a Western Union messenger and return it to us collect as soon as might be.

Incidentally, we are happy enough about the new chapter titles although if you can beat them subsequently, please take them on.

In closing, may I ask you to bear in mind the fact that your book will require a good four months for manufacture, that the ideal time to publish is early November, and that in consequence we ought to get the book to press by the first week in July. In fact, why not celebrate your independence of the manuscript by getting it in on the Fourth?

GREGORY ZILBOORG, M.D.

A HISTORY OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY

by GREGORY ZILBOORG, M.D.
in collaboration with GEORGE W. HENRY, M.D.

The history of medical psychology and the birth and development of psychiatry
necessitate an approach entirely different from that of the history of medicine and surgery.
For a long time mental illness was a mystery, to be revealed to no layman and only in part
to the priest. It was taken for granted that medicine had no power over the mentally sick -
an unwritten dictum which was potent enough to retard the introduction of medicine into the
field of mental disease, so that even to-day we are still ashamed to own up to a neurosis or
a more serious mental illness.

The great men who represented medicine were for many centuries under the spell of
this cleavage between medicine and mental disease. Because Johannes Meyer dared to state
that mental illness was not the work of the devil but a natural disease, just like a headache,
his books were forbidden. Even a pioneer like Felix Plater, who for some time lived and studied
in the dungeons where psychotics were kept, came away still convinced that this affliction was
the handiwork of the devil. At length Philippe Pinel infused the spirit of the French Revolu-
tion into psychiatry and unchained the mentally sick; the tolerance of the Quakers liberalized
the spirit of psychiatry in England; in America, Benjamin Rush wrote the first American text-
book of psychiatry and Dorothea Dix, a relatively unknown and obscure school teacher, did more
to establish mental hospitals in this country than all the legislatures or physicians of her
time. After Emil Kraepelin and the culmination of his system, new orientations were developed
under Bleuler, Adolf Meyer and Freud.

GREGORY ZILBOORG, M. D.

Since a history of medical psychology must, by the nature of the subject, present much more than an account of doctors and their endeavors, its author should be equipped to deal broadly with the whole development of culture, and particularly with certain aspects of law, theology and philosophy. By background, training and inherent endowment, Dr. Gregory Zilboorg is eminently qualified for such a task. A Russian by birth, he attended the Psychoneurological Institute of St. Petersburg; was physician at a base hospital during the last war and Secretary to the Minister of Labor in the Provisional Government after the Russian Revolution. Coming to the United States, he obtained a medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, and was for five years on the staff of Bloomingdale Hospital. He is Secretary and Director of Research of the Committee for the Study of Suicide and, in 1935, was Naguchi Lebturer at Johns Hopkins, Institute of the History of Medicine. He has made translations from both Russian and German and is the author of "The Medical Man and the Witch during the Renaissance". The HISTORY OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY, in which he has had the collaboration of Dr. George W. Henry, will take an important place in psychiatric literature and in the history of medical sciences.

April 24 - 1940

Dear Mr. Norton:

You are right. The Foreword will be terse, formal and brief. I agree with
your suggestion that reference to Dr. Henry's chapters should be made in the Foreword, and
not in the Table of Contents.

About the word "custodial". I can not very well change this word because it is
used universally by all psychiatrists and mental hygienists, and by all those who have any-
thing to do with the subject of psychiatry, to denote the traditional treatment of the men-
tally sick by means of keeping them in a special hospital. The word originated apparently
from the conception of taking the patient into custody. We all speak of custodial care when
we wish to refer to purely hospitalised management. The word humanistic refers to the great
period which originated in France and England during the French Revolution. At that time the
principle of being kind, considerate and extremely respectful of the mental patient's needs
was combined with custodial care, and was thought of as the method of treating and curing the
psychotic. The initiated will know at once what the heading of the chapter in question means
and with what it deals. The uninitiated who is curious will try to find out and learn; the
uncurious will not care how we say it or what we say.

How about "The Second Half of the Nineteenth Century". I tried to obtain a maxi-
num of brevity. We might change it to "The Achievement of descriptive psychiatry through the
last half of the nineteenth century", or "Descriptive psychiatry up to the close of the nine-
teenth century".

As to the blurb. You will probably use some of the material from the Prelogue.
You can look me up in 'Who's Who'; you might refer to my Noguchi lectures in 1935 at Johns
Hopkins. Then you might proceed and say that this history is not a catalogue of events and not
a list of men who had to do with them. In short; it is not a Who's Who in the history of medi-
cal psychology, but a What's What, or a What's-What-And-How. But of course men will not be ne-
glected who really made a true contribution, or who were prominent in preventing a contribution
to be made.

I shall tell of Hippocrates and Galen, of course, and also of the imprisoned Roger
Bacon. The austere German Dominicans, Sprenger and Kraemer of Cologne (fifteenth century); the
vitriolic quixotic Cornelius Agrippa and enlightened Johannes Weyer. The great lawyer Jean
Bodin who in the history of law was the proponent of enlightened tolerances, and in the history
of Psychiatry one of the most pernicious barnstormers and exalters of the "burning faggot". Of
Philippe Pinel who infused the spirit of the French Revolution into psychiatry and unchained the

-2-

mentally sick. The word unchained is used here in the literal sense. Then the Quakers and the Tukes who combined the tolerance and kindliness of the Quakers with the keenness of good organizers and liberalised the spirit of psychiatry in England, making Bedlam (comes from Bethæchem) - an old dump for the insane in England since the XIIIth century - a survival of the past. Then Benjamin Rush who signed the Declaration of Independence and wrote the first American textbook of Psychiatry. I might mention that Paul Revere's son, Paul Revere Jr. went to Scotland to study medicine and became a psychiatrist in the U.S.A. A world or two (a warm and enthusiastic word) about Dorotha Dix, an unknown and obscure school teacher, who did more for mental hospitals in this country than all the legislatures and physicians of her time combined. The predecessors of Emil Kraepelin and the culmination of the Kraepolinian system; the break in this system in our days - from Bleuler, Adolf Meyer and Freud.

Is this enough of a "blurb"?

You need not worry about bothering me again - as you put it. I would prefer to be bothered now every day, than to stay bothered after the books is out.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Mr. Farlow has turned over to me the front matter of your book and I have read it with, shall I say, great avidity. I take it that your Foreword will be principally acknowledgements and that in this Foreword you will explain the fact that Dr. Henry is responsible for the two chapters on Mental Hospitals and Organic Medical Disease. I think this is better technique than registering on the Table of Contents page the fact that he has done these two chapters.

I like the Prologue very much. I particularly like the way it is divided into two sections, the first dealing with your ideas as to how history should be written, and the second dealing with how the history of medical psychology should be thought of.

I have only two questions to raise on the Table of Contents. First, could you do us a little less forbidding word than "Custodial" in the title of Chapter 7? The combination with "Humanistic" seems to us a little odd and the word itself obscure. Then, can't we beat your next-to-last chapter title? Every other chapter has some meaning in relation to the history of medical psychology but this one might be the history of anything for the period in question. I am sure you can characterize this period in some way to make it a little more interesting than just a date.

The text of the Prologue itself is so clean cut and is really in such beautiful shape that I haven't a thing to criticize. But I will have to have one more thing before I can go to work on the blurb. Readers of historical books of this nature must have told them, on the blurb from which they buy the book, the names of some of the great figures about whom they are going to read. The only ones mentioned in the Prologue who seem important for this purpose are Agrippa and Weyer. Won't you please make suggestions for three or four other and later ones? Then there is the question of whether we should mention any particular movements or schools in the blurb. I am enclosing the blurb we prepared for Ernest Sutherland Bates history of American religious life (through the Civil War) with the second paragraph marked to show you how we wove in the names of his heroes, or villains, and the names of his outstanding groups or schools. It would be the greatest favor if you could just dictate me a little memorandum on these points and I will promise not to bother you again -- at least on the score of material for announcements!

Dear Mr. Norton:

I shall have collected the material for Mr. Parlow on Monday, April 22. At that time I should like very much to spend about half an hour with him, to tell him some of my ideas and to have him ask me whatever questions he may have in mind.

Since I am busy throughout the day, and also Monday night, I wonder whether Mr. Parlow would not do me the favour and come to my office either Monday or Tuesday at 10 a.m.? We shall then have about an hour to talk things over.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Next week is April, and by the end of April Mr. Farlow has to go to press with the preliminary announcement material of our fall publications, since our salesmen leave the first week in June to sell these publications and it takes approximately a month to see the individual announcements for each book and the general catalogue through the press. May I hope, then, that it will be possible for you to let us have your table of contents and either the first chapter of the book or the introduction, together with one or two of the illustrations, some time within the next fortnight.

We should also like to have you confirm your last estimate of the length of the book which we had agreed would not exceed 200,000 words.

With this material before him Mr. Farlow will be able once more to begin work, not only on the announcements in the catalogue, but also on the design of the book itself.

And now let me add this one little point: since May 1st is our deadline and authors, as I am sure you will agree, being human, it is quite probable that May 1st will dump on his lap material from all those who inevitably like to get in just under the wire, this will mean that their books will not get quite the same attention as if the material arrived within the next week or two, as is perfectly obvious. So, do be a good fellow and send us down, as soon as might be now, this material so that Mr. Farlow can get to work on it.

P.S. Of course Mr. Farlow would be very glad to consult with you about any manufacturing questions which may have come up since our last session.

The date for our next meeting is, then, to be Tuesday, December 5th at your office in East 75th Street.

May I just add one postscript to a remark made during our last talk? I said that from my point of view it really made no difference whether the book was to be published this spring or a year from now, that is, next fall. That would still be true were it not for the World War. If they really begin to fight next spring, by next fall the world may be in a most god-auful mess. In the circumstances, if it is humanely possible for us to get the book out by the end of next March, I think we should avoid this risk.

Dr. Gregory Zilboorg,
14 East 75 Street, City.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Thank you very much for writing me so frankly in your letter of August 15. It will be quite all right to await Mr. Weiss's return, and I quite respect your judgment in doing so.

Now, as to a possible delay in delivery of the manuscript until
January 15th. It isn't fatal, but I want to follow along as to what happens.
I would require a fortnight for a reading, as would my editorial stylist who
prepares the manuscript for the printer. Then we should have to have a
conference with you about any editorial suggestions to that it is not likely
the book would go to press before the first week in February. It will
certainly take at least two months to manufacture as large a book as yours,
which will then mean publication in April. This is rather late in the season
for a $5.00 illustrated historical work, and if there is any likelihood of its
being postponed beyond that date I want to place on record the fact that I may
wish to postpone publication until the following fall. In writing you in this
way I want at once more, however, to emphasize what I am sure you will agree with,
that the book is the thing. And particularly this book, for it is no ordinary
volume in a series of books which you are writing for the public, but probably
the most important historical work in the field of psychiatry to appear in our
time. We therefore must not sacrifice anything to quality even if it delays
publication.

Just one more item in connection with this whole matter of timing.
The decision as to time of publication will have to be made about the middle of
November, at which time we have to have Table of Contents, front matter (the
Introduction and first chapter), some of the illustrations and enough material
to write the blurb for the jacket. This material we require for our dummies,
which it takes about a month to prepare and which the salesmen must have about
the first week in January when they go out to sell the spring books.

Meantime, suppose for the purposes of the contract we let the
delivery of the manuscript date rest as December 15th, with the understanding that
if you are not able to deliver then and the manuscript is so delayed that we cannot
publish until after the first week in April, publication may be delayed into the
autumn.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Thank you very much for writing me so frankly in your letter of August 15th. It will be quite all right to await Mr. Weiss's return, and I quite respect your judgment in doing so.

Now, as to a possible delay in delivery of the manuscript until January 15th. It isn't fatal, but I want to follow along as to what happens. I would require a fortnight for a reading, as would my editorial stylist who prepares the manuscript for the printer. Then we should have to have a conference with you about any editorial suggestions so that it is not likely the book would go to press before the first week in February. It will certainly take at least two months to manufacture as large a book as yours, which will then mean publication in April. This is rather late in the season for a $5.00 illustrated historical work, and if there is any likelihood of its being postponed beyond that date I want to place on the record the fact that I may wish to postpone publication until the following fall. In writing you in this way I want once more, however, to emphasize what I am sure you will agree with, namely, that the book is the thing. And particularly this book, for it is no ordinary volume in a series of books which you are writing for the public, but probably the most important historical work in the field of psychiatry to appear in our time. We therefore must not sacrifice anything to quality even if it delays publication.

Dear Mr. Norton:

I received your contract and I am glad to state
that everything seems to be in order. While I think that there is
nothing that could raise any questions or difficulties, I should
prefer that the contract be gone over by Mr. Nelson before I sign
it. Mr. Nelson is going to be back in the city on September 15th,
at which time all the formalities will be attended to.

There is one question that weighs rather heavily
on my mind. I understand, of course, that should I fall to
deliver the manuscript ready for the press on December 1st, as
specified in the contract, the latter does not become void. You
would then be disappointed and gain and bear it but I should not like
to subject you to unnecessary displease or myself to the discomfort
of not fulfilling a promise given. I wonder whether, under
these circumstances, January 15th could be set off the dead line

I hope you are having a good summer and remain,

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Thank you very much for your note of the 28th with memorandum attached. In view of the fact that I am prepared to concede every point you have raised in this memorandum, it seemed to me simplest to have the contract filled out with the modifications which you request and send it to you in duplicate herewith. You can then, if you care to, have Mr. Weiss give it the once over to satisfy himself that the phraseology which we have used embodies exactly your wishes.

It seems hardly necessary to speak to the points which you have raised, since, as stated above, I have no objection to them, but if by any chance you don't feel that I have met your wishes, please don't hesitate to give me a ring.

Meantime I am delighted to hear that you are hard"at it." And in this connection you will note that I have set the date for delivery of the manuscript as December 1st, since we would have to have it by that date if we are to make a good job of publication next winter.

WWN:p

P.S. Referring to Article VIII, it seemed simpler to strike out the reprint edition clause altogether, as your book will be too serious a work to be taken by any of the popular reprint series. The time element is dealt with in Article XII, which confirms my promise to keep the book in print for five years. If you will allow the new clause, which I have had typed in under the royalty clause, to stand, permitting us to pay a royalty of 10% for printings under 1000 copies after five years, this will insure that we will keep the book in print almost indefinitely. You will of course understand that we would not be justified after five years in printing quantities of 1000 or more, and that when we make a printing of five or six hundred copies, the unit cost is considerably higher, which is why we ask for the 10% royalty.

Thank you for your letter offering to publish

natural reservations stated.

My plans are to have the manuscript completed
in December rather than November, but the bulk of
it will, of course, be ready before that time.

As to the financial aspects of the suggested
contract, I should like to have more time to con-

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I am now writing you to say how delighted I am to learn that the HISTORY OF PSYCHIATRY is again to the fore and to place in writing an offer to undertake its publication for you, with the slight reservation I made over the telephone, namely that the offer assumes that the work will continue to be of the same high standard as our previous negotiations led me to believe.

It is my pleasure then to say that we should be very glad to undertake to publish for you immediately on receipt of the manuscript, which we assume will be in November and December, your HISTORY OF PSYCHIATRY and to issue the book two to three months later depending on the length of time it takes to produce the handsome volume which would be worthy of the subject matter. Our offer assumes that the work is not less than 100,000 words and not more than 200,000, and that a few appropriate illustrations are to be included. We would undertake to keep this book in print for a period of at least 5 years, although as I conceive of the volume it should be a "book that lives" to repeat our slogan, which means that we would want to keep it in print for many years, revised from time to time as it seemed appropriate to add material.

Speaking to the question of royalties, as you must know, there exists in book publishing today what is known as a sliding scale of royalties. That is to say, for the first edition of 2500 copies, we are prepared to offer you a royalty of 10% on the list price; for the next 2500 copies we would want to pay you a royalty of 12½% and for the sales of all copies beyond 5000 a royalty of 15%.

Just as soon as you have any material available for me to see I would be very happy to go over it and then to send you our formal contract confirming these terms. The date we should bear in mind for a final conclusion of these arrangements is the month of November, since early in December we begin the preparation of our spring catalogue, sales dummies and other material relating to sales. It would be a great pleasure to work with you on this much anticipated project.

Dear Louis:

Well, if it is the fourth term, it is the fourth term.
That is life. Not that I like it; not that I submit to it even.
I am merely strictly neutral, accept the kicks, too proud to de-
fend myself and accept the blockade by fate under protest - -
a dignified, democratic protest - the words of which leave no
doubt where I stand, but as to how I stand. Well, this too is
clear: I don't stand at all; only my words stand, my body, my
glorious self lies down. ORI I am not afraid; i.e. I am afraid,
but I am not a coward. I just lie down in self defence, with
History over me, hovering and fighting. History is a wonderful
soldier - it does not shoot bullets - it shoots ink and pierces
with blue pencils and does a marvellous job in headlines, and
raises a frightful storm of the air waves - i.e. ether waves.
History, long may she wave.

Hence the inevitable conclusion: Norton is right.
Let him do what is right, what is just, what is protective and
salutary and even salubrious - for I don't object to health.

Dr. Gregory Zilboorg,

Dear Gregory:

I have a letter from Mr. Norton in which he still
has a little trouble about your title page and jacket.

You will recall that I suggested "in collaboration
with" for the title page and for the jacket and merely the use
of your name on the cover of the book itself. Mr. Norton objects
to this proposal on the ground that it will result in one kind
of titling for the jacket and another for the binding, which he
says is impractical. To quote him:

"The libraries to whom this will be an important book
would be on to us in short order, so we must avoid the
possibility and try for consistency.
What we would propose is that we adopt the 'in collaboration with' technique for both title page and jacket
and that on the backbone of the book Dr. Zilboorg's
name appear first in perhaps a little larger type, with
Dr. Henry's name underneath, since, of course, it is
impossible to put on the backbone of the book the full
phrase 'in collaboration with.' This is standard publishing practice for work of this sort, and I believe
is the procedure we should follow."

How does this motion appear to you?

I am still hoping to see you before the fourth
Roosevelt administration. God knows when that will be, since
at the moment I act more like the itch than the itch itself.
Anyway, my h. is in the r. p.

Dear Gregory:

I reached Mr. Norton today on the phone and he told me that he was leaving town and therefore could not see me. He also told me that he had sent you a form of the agreement conceding all the points raised in your memorandum. I asked him for a copy of the agreement forwarded to you but he told me he had only kept a rough draft of it and therefore could not let me see it. Which rather stopped me.

In view of the foregoing, may I make a suggestion? If you would like me to pass on the agreement now, forward your copy of it to me at Bald Mountain, Maine. If, on the other hand, you think the matter can wait until my return, save it until then. Please feel free to do whatever will make you more comfortable.

I am sorry that Mr. Norton and I could not get together, but we tried to fit our times in various ways and they just would not fit. In any event, he will be back on Monday, he tells me, and you can talk to him directly if you care to.

And now I close my desk. When you next see me, my body will be brown, my spirit high, and my tennis superb. The same to you.

MEMORANDUM FOR Mr. NORTON

ARTICLE 1. SECTION A. THE TITLE OF THE BOOK IS TO BE 'A HISTORY OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY'. AS TO THE NUMBER OF WORDS, I CONSIDER THAT 500 PAGES, APPROXIMATELY OF COURSE, WILL COVER THE SUBJECT, WHICH MEANS ABOUT 200,000 WORDS. DOES THIS MEET WITH YOUR APPROVAL OR SHOULD IT BE LESS? THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE BOOK IS TO BE STATED 'BY GREGORY ZILBOORG, M. D. IN COLLABORATION WITH GEORGE W. HENRY, M. D.'.
I SHALL MENTION IN MY PREFACE SPECIFICALLY THE CHAPTERS WRITTEN BY DR. HENRY (ONE TO THREE CHAPTERS).

ARTICLE 3. YOU PROBABLY WOULD WANT BOTH DR. HENRY AND MYSELF TO SIGN THE CONTRACT, WHICH IS PERFECTLY AGREEABLE TO ME.

ARTICLE 4. AS TO THE DATE OF DELIVERY OF THE MANUSCRIPT, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MAKE SOME SPECIFIC SUGGESTION, ALLOWING SUFFICIENT LATITUDE OF COURSE. AS TO POSSIBLE EXPENSE IN ORDER TO MAKE CHANGES IN FORM AND CONTENT IN THE BOOK, I SUGGEST THAT THIS BE ELIMINATED, SINCE NO ONE ELSE WILL MAKE THEM EXCEPT MYSELF.
YOU ARE RIGHT. WE AGREE THAT 16 PAGES OF HALF-TONE PLATES WOULD BE AMPLE. IT OCCURS TO ME THAT, WHILE IT MIGHT MEAN A LITTLE EXTRA EXPENSE, YOU MIGHT ALLOW A FEW SMALLER CUTS WHICH MIGHT APPEAR EITHER IN THE TEXT OR AT THE ENDS OF CERTAIN CHAPTERS.

ARTICLE 5. IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT IT IS A RATHER BIG PIECE OF WORK IN WHICH YEARS OF TIME AND ENERGY HAVE BEEN INVESTED, I SHOULD SUGGEST THAT THE CLAUSE THAT THE PUBLISHER'S SHARE OF THE COST OF ALTERATIONS SHALL NOT EXCEED $50.00 SHOULD NOT BE MENTIONED, OR BE INCREASED. I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT MOST PROBABLY THERE WILL BE EXTREMELY FEW ALTERATIONS.

ARTICLE 6. ABOUT THE ROYALTIES: AS I RECALL, YOU SUGGESTED A STRAIGHT 12 1/2% ONE ALL COPIES. WOULD YOU AGREE TO SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT? YOU MENTION IN PARAGRAPH A 'ON ALL COPIES FROM THE FIRST PRINTING' -- SHOULD NOT THE NUMBER OF COPIES OF THE FIRST PRINTING BE SPECIFIED? THE ROYALTIES ARE TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FOLLOWS: ONE THIRD TO DR. HENRY AND TWO THIRDS TO MYSELF.
PARAGRAPHS C, D AND E: THESE DO NOT APPEAL TO ME BUT I SUPPOSE THEY ARE STANDARD.

ARTICLE 8. I ALSO RECALL THAT YOU STATED THAT YOU WILL KEEP THE PLATES OR THE SHEETS, OR WHATEVER IT WAS, FOR SOME YEARS SO AS TO INSURE THE AVAILABILITY OF THE BOOK FOR A LONG TIME.

ARTICLE 11. I MUST STATE THAT I HAVE A CONTRACT WITH MACMILLAN TO WRITE A BOOK ON SUICIDE WHICH MAY APPEAR EITHER SIMULTaneously WITH THE HISTORY OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY OR SOON AFTER. HENCE THIS PARTICULAR BOOK ON SUICIDE SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE 11.

It was very kind of you to write me as you did under

out the arrangements before my departure. But I shall be back

will be possible.

Will you please assure Dr. Zilboorg that I will be at
his disposal and yours soon after that date, and that I hope
this delay as it affects the legal aspects of the work will
not affect the literary aspects. In other words, that he
will be able to continue his work on the manuscript in the
meantime.

Dear Louis:

The sense of relief is quite naturally marred by a sense of discomfort due to various psychological involvements which are inevitable in a situation of this kind. I look forward to seeing you upon your return.

In the meantime, I have had a talk with W. W. Norton who offered very acceptable conditions for the publication of the book. You will, of course, have the opportunity to go over the contract before it is signed. Mr. Norton is sailing for Europe on June 13th and he wishes (and so do I) that the contract be signed before then.

I have been thinking over the problem about Dr. Henry and come to the conclusion that, whatever grievances I have (and I have many and true ones), he should not be kept off the book. The major problem is not how to keep him off but in what form to keep him on. This being the case, the best thing would be perhaps if you, Dr. Henry and I get together to consider the contract. While doing this, we shall discuss my grievances in so far as they cause me to postpone finishing the book. Something, therefore, will have to be found to alloy somewhat my grievances so as to make possible the publication of the book. One of such 'something', then, could or should be the suggestion that the authorship of the book be designated: 'By Dr. Gregory Zilboerg in collaboration with Dr. George W. Henry' instead of plainly 'Zilboerg and Henry'. To this I believe he will agree if it is presented to him by a judicial mind in a judicious way. We ought to arrange such a conference as soon as it is humanly possible because the contract cannot be drawn before Henry and I come to some sort of an agreement.

Please let me hear from you as soon as you get back and I will arrange for the conference.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Congratulations on your most excellent production of
"A History of Medical Psychology". It is being reviewed care-
fully and, I believe, adequately for the January issue of the
JOURNAL. I appreciate your having sent me a copy.

Of all the people who might have written on this parti-
cular subject, I know of no one in the field of psychiatry in this
country who could have handled it as adequately as you have done.
Your immense reading and understanding in the broad fields of this
subject which are not usually plumbed by the average psychiatrist
is readily apparent in your wealth of historical allusions and in
the general broad grasp of the subject. The book is more than a
presentation of chronological data and the development of theories
—it is essentially a philosophy for those of us who have chosen
this particular type of work for their life effort. I wish you
the extensive and prompt recognition that the work deserves.

Dear Zilboorg :

I want to congratulate you on having written the best history of psychiatry. Your account of the gradual maturing of psychiatric concepts which finally crystallized in what you term "psychiatric revolutions" is done brilliantly and convincingly since it emphasizes the cultural and social forces which lie behind psychiatric achievement and is not a mere collection of disconnected biographical sketches.

What you have to say on the eras of psychiatric classification versus the more dynamic interpretation of mental diseases is a most enlightening approach and ought to clear up many of the confusing opinions on these differences. Your section on Aretaeus, with whom I was familiar, is most interesting as showing how long ago manic-depressive insanity was described. As I have always had an interest in Salem witchcraft, I was also particularly intrigued by the chapter on "The Blows of the Witches' Hammer."

With kindest personal regards, I am

Dear Gregory,

I want to thank you most warmly for sending me a copy of your latest book, "The History of Medical Psychology". When I learned that your book was about to come out I felt it was a book that I should definitely want to read. Consequently it was a most pleasant surprise to have you send me an autographed copy.

It gave me a very pleasant feeling indeed to know that you numbered me among those friends to whom you have extended this honor. As I told you once before, it was a great personal pleasure to me last year to have you come to Philadelphia and give that series of conferences, and through your visits to come to know you better. I was very gratified to have you extend an invitation to me to visit you sometime. I still treasure that invitation and hope it will be possible to make it a reality. To have you think of me again in this way means a great deal to me and I assure you this will be one of the few treasured books in my library.

Incidentally that library for which you have seen only the blueprints is nearing completion and we are hoping to move in in about three weeks. After we are settled I hope we may have the pleasure of entertaining you and Mrs. Zilboorg, if she would care to come. Both Ellen and I send our warmest regards to you and hope to see you in the not too distant future.

some relief from the mountainous professional reading that I must do so
that I can look forward to reading into your book to the extent that I
am capable of understanding it. You whet my appetite by your references
to Dr. Salmon. It was my good fortune to see enough of him to know that
there was a man whose wisdom was deeper than that of many men of much
more capacious learning, and whose wisdom was rooted in goodness. The
memory of not many men is as lively within me as is that of Tom Salmon.

My dear Gregory: I certainly did know that you were back, but it is the fact that you sent me the book that kept me from writing you, since I wanted to begin reading it and have, as a matter of fact, hardly been able to put it down. Congratulations! You have done an absolutely beautiful job and, although it may offend your dignity as the author of a scientific history of medical psychology, it has to me all the earmarks of a best-seller in the field, even though at no point does it compromise with scientific integrity.

I hope that your South American trip enabled you to get some much-needed rest, because you looked awfully tired when I saw you this summer.

There is a possibility that I may be in New York over the coming weekend, and I will call you Sunday evening in the hope that you may have returned from the country.

With warmest regards, and thanking you again for sending me a copy of your book, I am

I am not only deeply touched

also equally impressed by it and
eager to get at it. I'd have begun	onight if Nora hadn't gotten a
head start on me; but even glancing
through it it gives one the feeling
of a magnificent job. My congratu-

Dear Gregory:

I was very much touched and very pleased to receive the copy of the History of Medical Psychology. I've been laid up in bed the last couple of days and have been thoroughly enjoying myself in between times in reading it.

You have a delightful style and a wonderful point of view. I haven't gone far enough in it to be either destructively or constructively critical. Suffice it to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and want to add my warm congratulations to a host that you must have received and certainly do rate.

Your letter of the 3d came about the Committee meeting on November 22nd. I do wish I could be there but there isn't a snowball's chance that I can. I would so like to sit in on the Committee and have an active part in it. I'm afraid, however, that my geographical location is going to materially impede my effectiveness on the Committee, but I hope that in some small way I can do some good.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Mr. Norton was good enough to send me the book which you marked for me. It follows a most interesting perspective and is fascinating to read, and will be a very good starting point for any special discussions of an historical character for a long time to come.

I am glad to have some time now to put together my reprints and to interlace them with some connecting remarks, the understanding of which will be very much furthered by your presentation of the developments of fundamental material.

With my appreciation and thanks,

A HISTORY OF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY by Gregory Zilboorg, M.D. in collaboration with George W. Henry, M.D. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1941. Price $5.00

Nobody in America writes with more fluency than Gregory Zilboorg. As a leader in medical thinking he has brought to this country the best of the European tradition. This new volume on the history of medical psychology is not merely an account of what has happened but it is a critical appraisal, intelligently organized and interestingly told. Up to the present time no book more scholarly than this has appeared in English. How Dr. Zilboorg has been able to do it in the midst of his heavy work as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst is explained in part by the fact that he has had the assistance of Dr. George W. Henry.

Although Dr. Zilboorg is himself a psychoanalyst, it can not be said that this book suffers from psychoanalytic bias. The book is written from the philosophic and humanitarian point of view. Only a physician with broad human contacts and vast learning could have produced this document, upon which every physician can afford to look with pride.

This book is not for light reading, although there are many parts of it that are charming and amusing. Rather it is a book for study and reference. It is a book one could keep on one's bedroom reading table, where in quiet and in reflection one could appreciate the scope and profundity of Dr. Zilboorg's labors.

Dr. Zilboorg has pointed out in this book several important points that up until now have not been adequately stressed. His

My dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I have just received in the morning mail the copy of your great book, "A History of Medical Psychology." I shall read it with great interest particularly since you told me that in writing it you yourself have become thoroughly medievalized.

With many kind regards, I remain,

Dear Gregory:

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the thought and the book. It was so very kind of you to think of me and to send me the book, and I am most happy to have it.

I had just glanced through the copy in our library and was tremendously impressed by the work. I hear comments, however, from every side about the excellence of it, and how no other work of any kind approaches it. I am planning to use it this summer in my course at Smith. It will certainly be a great help to me there, as there really was no work at all to which I could refer.

I shall see you in New York in December, and as you say, we can talk things over. Again thanking you for your friendliness and thoughtfulness,

Dear Gregory:

You were very thoughtful and generous to send me an autographed copy of the History of Medical Psychology. I shall treasure the book for the inscription as well as for the contents.

I have glanced over the History of Mental Institutions and feel that an excellent picture of them is given. I am going to read the book most carefully. I want to familiarize myself with the material so thoroughly that any comments I make may be of an informed and constructive nature. [I congratulate you on the completion of this most important and significant work.]

I hope you have had a very delightful vacation and that I shall see you in New York at the time of the Salmon lectures, as well as at the time of the Council meeting in December.

With much appreciation and kindest personal regards, I remain

Sincerely yours,

Dear Gregory:

I appreciate very much your sending me
the book. It is beautifully gotten up, a most im-
pressive volume of which you should be proud and I
know it represents a lot of hard work.

I think it is a real contribution to psychi-
try and I look forward with pleasure to reading the
entire book carefully and having it on file as a ref-
erence.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I have waited to acknowledge your generous presentation of a copy of your work "A History of Medical Psychology" until I should have time to read it. I am glad that I waited, because it permits me to express more fully my appreciation of the contribution you have made.

You have pictured the course of psychiatric thought against the background of general cultural change, which is the way in which I think such scientific histories should be written. In a sense your book has a broader scope than the title suggests.

Again accept my expression of appreciation for letting me be among those to receive an early copy.

Dear Gregory:

I have received from your publishers a copy of the long-
awaited History and I've noted with much satisfaction that it is
"*a history of medical psychology.*" It will be, I am sure, a pleas-
ure to read it. I thank you very heartily.

I want to say again, also, how much I appreciated your letter
last May about my coming here to Phipps. The confidence of dis-
criminating friends is a great source of encouragement.

The need to get acquainted with the personnel and the modes
of procedure and the thousand and one details of this situation
has kept me pretty well occupied, and probably will keep me do-
ing "home-work," as Joanne calls it, for some time to come; but
I am enjoying it.
