To Dr. G. Stanley Hall, President of ClarkUniversity, who first called to my attentionthe charm of Gradiva, by Wilhelm Jensen, andsuggested the possibility of the translation andpublication combined with the translation ofFreud’s commentary, I am deeply grateful for hiskindly interest and effort in connection with thepublication of the book, and his assistance withthe technical terms of psychopathology.
In this connection I am also indebted to Dr.Smith Ely Jelliffe, who gave many helpful suggestionsas a result of his thorough reading ofthe manuscript of the commentary.
I wish also to express my profound appreciationto my friend, Miss M. Evelyn Fitzsimmons, forher generous help with the original manuscriptand other valuable comments offered while shewas reading the entire proof.
