Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book consists of a selection of letters from Sigmund Freud to Wilhelm Fliess, a Berlin physician and biologist, written between the years 1887 and 1902. The letters, with other documents left by Fliess, came into the hands of a second-hand dealer during the Nazi period in Germany and thus into the editors' possession. Fliess's letters to Freud have not been found. The published letters are numbered in order of date, and the notes and drafts are designated by letters of the alphabet. The letters are nearly all dated by the author, or alternatively the date is established by the postmark. In the few cases where drafts or notes are undated they have been inserted by the editors in what appears to be the correct chronological order by reason of their contents.
