A. 6 EDITORIAL NOTE As the author’s Foreword indicates, the volume from which the present translation has been made is an extensive revision, published in 1952, of Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido, published in 1912. * The reasons for this revision and its extent are explained by Dr. Jung and need no further comment here. The present translation differs in certain respects from the revised Swiss edition. First of all, the number of illustrations has been reduced. In the Swiss edition, these had been inserted to amplify the text rather than to illustrate. It seemed to the Editors that the illustrations sometimes had the disadvantage of interrupting the text unduly, and after careful consideration it was decided that only those having a direct relevance to the text should be included. Among these, some new photographs and substitutions have been used. Secondly, an appendix containing the complete Miller fantasies has been added. Since these were available only in a French text published in 1906 in the Archives de psychologie, a translation by Philip Mairet has been provided. The textual quotations are also from this translation. Other differences from the Swiss edition result from bringing the volume into conformity with the general plan for the Collected Works. A bibliography has been added, and accordingly the references in the footnotes have been somewhat shortened. In respect to the quotations from various languages, special mention must be made of the work of Dr. A. Wasserstein and Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz in checking and translating some 7 of the Latin and Greek texts. The philological material has been checked over by Dr. Leopold Stein. 8 EDITORIAL NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION For this edition, appearing ten years after the first, bibliographical citations and entries have been revised in the light of subsequent publications in the Collected Works and in the Standard Edition of Freud’s works, some translations have been substituted in quotations, and other essential corrections have been made, but there have been no changes of substance in the text. TRANSLATOR’S NOTE During the preparation of this volume, the text of the original English translation by Beatrice M. Hinkle, first published in America in 1916 under the title Psychology of the Unconscious, was freely consulted. Certain of the quotations of poetry there rendered by Louis Untermeyer have been taken over into the present edition, sometimes with slight modifications. For some of the quotations from Faust, I am indebted to Philip Wayne, both for extracts from his published version of Part 1 and for passages from Part 2 specially translated for this volume. Quotations from Latin and Greek sources are taken when possible from existing translations, but mostly they are of a composite nature, resulting from comparison of the existing translations with the original texts and with the German versions used by the author, who in some cases translated direct from the originals. For the purpose of comparison, reference is sometimes made, 9 in square brackets, to an existing translation although it has not been quoted. For the 1974 printing, the Author’s Note to the first American/English edition has been added on p. xxx. 10
