of the earlier ones. They do not in any sense form an indepen­
dent entity with an expectation of finding a circle of readers of
its own; they are continuations and supplements, which, in re­

contains fresh treatments of subjects which were already dealt
with fifteen years ago but which, as a result of a deepening of
our knowledge and an alteration in our views, call for a dif­
ferent exposition to-day-that is to say, critical revisions. The
two other groups contain what are true extensions, for they deal
with things which either did not exist in psycho-analysis at the
time of the first lectures or which were too little in evidence to
justify a special chapter-heading. It is inevitable, but not to be
regretted, if some of the new lectures unite the characteristics of
more than one of these groups.
