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

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

16269Grant Cottage King's Road Sloane Square London. 21 January 1813. 2pp. cr.8vo 30 x 18.5cm. In fair condition aged and worn with slight damage to one corner resulting in loss of one word of text. 62 lines of text with deletions and emendations and the thirteen lines of the conclusion largely rewritten. Headed: 'To the Right Honorable the Earl of sic Bathurst His Majestys Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial & War Department &c &c &c the Memorial of Major General Charles Viscount Grant de Vaux Shewest sic'. The first paragraph reads: 'That your memorialist although a french Emigrant is descended from two ancient and noble British families both by his father and mother and holds at present the rank of major general in the British Service - having resided in England since the year 1790 during which period after his services in the Emigrants Army became unnecessary he devoted his attentions to objects of Science and has published several works on Astronomy Navigation History &c tending to discoveries particularly on Nautical Science and on the history of Mauritius; which having met the approbation of men of talents and the patronage of Government your memorialist humbly hopes that his labours will ultimately prove beneficial to this country and to his unfortunate and numerous family.' The second paragraph concerns 'a large tract of Land in Canada' granted to him in 1794 'with a view to remove to that country a considerable number of french Emigrants who were to be conducted by him'. The third paragraph concerns 'the island of Mauritius where your memorialist was born' where his father 'the late Baron Grant &c commanded the troops' which has been 'conquered by his majesty's arms and is a valuable colony of Great Britain' The fourth paragraph concerns his family he having married 'a native of this country by whom he has eight children not provided for all born in England'. In the fifth paragraph he stresses his 'loyalty and integrity'. In conclusion he prays that 'your Lordship be pleased to issue an order that his Grant of land may be conferred to him in the isle of France 'the Isle of France' was another name for Mauritius his native country in lieu of the grant in Canada which was extensive according to his rank and numerous family'. Biographical/Historical NoteCharles Grant vicomte de Vaux was the descendant of a family of nobles who had emigrated from Scotland to France in the 14th century. Vaux was born in 1749 on the island of Mauritius where his father Louis-Charles Grant the Baron de Vaux served as governor. As a youth Vaux sailed to France to be educated and settled at Vaux-sur-Seulle in Normandy and eventually became an army officer. During the American Revolution he sided with the colonists and earned money selling supplies to the colonies and investing in ships to engage in privateering. The majority of the ships were lost and after the war Vaux petitioned the United States Congress for compensation. Though Vaux considered emigrating to North America he remained in France until forced by the revolution in France to flee to Great Britain in 1790. During his time as a refugee Vaux became interested in the prospect of starting a settlement in Canada and much of his energy during the next decade was focused on gaining permissions and raising money for the expedition. In the mid-1790s Vaux attempted to support himself as an army officer after being granted the position of colonel and permission to recruit a regiment which he formed with other French émigrés; it was stationed temporarily in Holland. This pursuit failed however and the regiment was dispersed after France invaded Holland during the French Revolutionary wars. Vaux then turned to writing to support himself publishing numerous books which included History of Mauritius and Introduction to Four New Maps of the Four Quarters all the while still attempting to plan a Canadian settlement. Despite his constant petitioning planning and pleas for aid Vaux was never able to realize his dream of moving to Canada. Little is known of the last two decades of his life but he is thought to have died in France around 1818." Grant Cottage, King's Road, Sloane Square [London]. 21 January 1813. unknown
186034086Green Street London: April 15 1860. 1860. Very good. - Letter penned in black ink filling most of both sides of a sheet of cream paper approximately 8 inches high by 6 inches wide bordered in black. The letter is tipped onto a slightly larger piece of card stock. Signed "Howard Douglas". There is a tiny chip to the left edge of the black border. Folded twice for mailing. Very good <p>Howard Douglas writes to Colonel John St. George 1812-1891 Director of Ordnance at the War Office asking for the return of a drawing of a gun which he wants to include in his upcoming book "Treatise on Naval Gunnery" fifth edition revised published in 1860. "I am anxious for the return of the drawing which I sent to you of the Armstrong Naval Gun on its carriage.The omission would deprive my work of a good deal of interest.I have stopped the Press waiting for your reply".<p>General Sir Howard Douglas 3rd Baronet 1776-1861 was a British military officer and Member of Parliament for Liverpool from 1842-1847. After entering the Royal Military Academy Woolwich he was commissioned Second Liutenant in the Royal Artillery in 1794 becoming Lieutenant a few months later. He served as Governor of New Brunswick from 1823-31 and had to deal with the Maine boundary dispute with the United States of 1828. He also founded Fredericton College now known as the University of New Brunswick and was its first Chancellor. From 1835 to 1840 he was Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands where he introduced a new code of laws known as "the Douglas code". The code infuriated the Greek Orthodox patriarchate in that it included innovations affecting family life especially marriage and divorce. Abused or abandoned women could more easily obtain a divorce. Further it legalized marriage between step-siblings and second cousins. Douglas was the author of several important military and naval treatises including the "Treatise on Naval Gunnery" of which the fifth edition is referred to in this letter. It became a standard text book and was the first publication to draw attention to its subject. Green Street [London]: April 15, 1860. unknown
