189635639London: 14 February 1896. 1896. Fine. - Letter filling one side of a 7 inch high by 4-3/8 wide sheet of light gray letterhead with the address printed in raised lettering at the top. Signed "John Sterling". Folded twice for mailing. Near fine. <p>Sterling writes to Mrs. Richard Ford thanking her for sending him a military book about the Jameson Raid. "It is of great interest & is in every way far superior to the English version of the same events published at a much later date. In military matters the Germans know apparently very well what to say & what not to say: perhaps in political matters they are not always as wise. The Transvaal is most serious in all its bearings & Rhodes Jameson & Co have spoilt for all time a splendid hand of trumps."<p>Major-General John Barton Sterling 1840-1926 entered the army in 1861 serving in Egypt and the Sudan. He was wounded at Tel-el-Kebir in 1882 and subsequently commanded the Coldstream Guards until his retirement in 1901. He was a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron and the Atheneum Club. At the Atheneum he befriended Kipling who wrote of him that he "dealt faithfully with me when I made technical errors in any tale of mine that interested him." "Something of Myself" page 143.

Gifford Palgrave' to "Dear Joseph" regretting he is unable to make the journey William Palgrave Gifford. Speaker's Court the Palace Westminster undated. 15x10 cm.

He went straight from college to India and served for a time in the 8th The King's Regiment of Foot Bombay Native Infantry H.I.C. Shortly after this he became a Roman Catholic was ordained a priest and joined the order of the Jesuits Society of Jesus and served as a member of the order in India Rome and in Syria where he acquired a colloquial command of Arabic. He convinced his superiors to support a mission to the interior of Arabia which at that time was terra incognita to the rest of the world. He also gained the support of the French emperor Napoleon III representing to him that better knowledge of Arabia would benefit French imperialistic schemes in Africa and the Middle East. Palgrave then returned to Syria where he assumed the identity of a travelling Syrian physician. Stocking his bags with medicines and small trade goods and accompanied by one servant he set off for Najd in north-central Arabia. He travelled as a Christian. The service he would do for the Society of Jesus and the French empire would be as a spy not a missionary. Palgrave became friendly with Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Al Saud while in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Faisal's son Abdul Rahman bin Faisal asked Palgrave to get him strychnine. Palgrave believed that Abdul wanted to poison his father. Palgrave was accused of espionage and was almost executed for his Christian beliefs. <br/> <br/> Manuscript ALS., [ca. 1875] unknown

Volume 2 of Judith Le Soldat's Complete Works contains the second previously unpublished book manuscript from the writer's estate.

Frommann-9783772826832frommann-holzboog Verlag e.K. German. Softcover. New. 520 p. 1 ill. 148 x 21 cm. Volume 3 of the Complete Works is a reprint of Judith Le Soldat's theory of Oedipal development first published in 1994 now with the title she had originally planned for it: Robbery Murder and Betrayal. Unlike the slightly ponderous title of the original publication A Theory of Human Misery long out of print the terms murder and betrayal take us straight to the core events that mark the fateful inner conflict of Oedipal development in which according to Le Soldat we are inevitably enmeshed. It is no accident that the title evokes a murder mystery for robbery murder and betrayal not only designate three significant events in the inner Oedipal plot; the comparison also underscores the authors method in tracking down clues with the meticulous approach of a detective. The theatre of events is none other than Freud's dream of Irma's Injection the founding dream of psychoanalysis. Le Soldats findings reveal an entirely different and incomparably more intense drama than hitherto presumed by classical psychoanalytical notions of the Oedipus complex. frommann-holzboog Verlag e.K. paperback

Frommann-9783772826849frommann-holzboog Verlag e.K. German. Softcover. New. 408 p. 148 x 21 cm. Volume 4 of the Complete Works is a reprint of Judith Le Soldat's first monograph Voluntary Servitude. Masochism and Morality published in 1989. The study addresses the passive masochistic aspects of the aggressive drive. Point of departure is the inquiry into why so many people support the power structures of society even though they suffer from them. In the course of her monograph Le Soldat refutes the thesis of »voluntary servitude« Étienne de La Boétie according to which people take secret namely »masochistic« pleasure in submitting to authoritarian structures. At the same time she develops a new psychoanalytical approach to what Sigmund Freud called »erogenous masochism« and describes the psychic circumstances under which physical pain becomes a condition for the gratifying release of tension. frommann-holzboog Verlag e.K. paperback
