There is a new introduction by Ellis -- and a specially prepared new and complete index.

The original volumes were divided as follows:- Sex In Relation To Society, Eonism and Other Studies, Sexual Inversion, Erotic Symbolism, Sexual Selection in Man, Modesty, Analyses of the Sexual Impulses. The material comprises virtually an encyclopedia of sexual knowledge, much of it in the form of case histories, analyzed and classified. An essential for any student of medicine, psychology, etc; important for clergymen and social workers. A basic book for any library that pretends to have a fair survey of the problems of sex.
