FREUD, Sigmund (1856-1939). Autograph letter signed (‘Freud’) to Dr J.B. Solley, Vienna, 2 March 1928.
In German and English. One page, 230 x 149mm, headed notepaper. [With:] Envelope, addressed in autograph.
Freud declines an offer to translate his 1927 work, Die Zukunft einer Illusion. He thanks Solley for the offer ‘to translate my little work, Die Zukunft einer Illusion, and Dr Brill for his willingness to oversee your translation, but the Hogarth Press in London always has the first option to our publications and as far as I know the translation authorised by Dr Jones is already in print there’.
As Freud notes, The future of an illusion first appeared in English in 1928, translated by W.D. Robson-Scott, apparently under the supervision of Freud’s closest associate in England, Alfred Ernest Jones. The ‘Dr Brill’ mentioned in the letter is presumably Dr A.A. Brill, Jones’ equivalent across the Atlantic.
