    PSYCHOLOGY of SEX THE BIOLOGY OF SEX—THE SEXUAL IMPULSE IN YOUTH—SEXUAL DEVIA¬ TION—THE EROTIC SYMBOLISMS— HOMOSEXUALITY—MARRIAGE—THE ART OF LOVE. By HAVELOCK ELLIS THIS book is by the author of the “ Studies in the Psychology of Sex,” in seven volumes, which have long been widely known in English as well as by translations into the chief languages of the world, and are regarded as authoritative. Havelock Ellis has long had in mind the preparation of a brief and simple state¬ ment of the subject, here at last brought forward. It is not a summary of the “ Studies,” but is to be regarded as an introduction to the chief aspects of Sexual Psychology. This subject is of constantly growing importance, yet it is still almost or altogether omitted from the courses of Medical Schools. It is believed that this book will, therefore, be found of great value, not only to medical students but to medical men generally, who are realising the importance of these questions, but have no time for large treatises, though it need scarcely be added that the appeal of this manual is not to medical readers alone, since the subjects it deals with is the concern of all. It may be considered an advantage that the author associates himself with no special schools of thought, though seeking to profit by the work of psycho-analysts and others.
