when the man I loved advised me I resolved to do
so, as I would have done almost anything else _he_ suggested. If
I could have withdrawn from the engagement without embarrassment
to the devoted woman who became my wife I would have done so, if
she gave me the opportunity. Nothing in my married state has
brought me pleasure and I often wish my wife would cease to love
me so that we might separate. But she would be heart-broken at
the suggestion and I feel driven to attempt to relieve my
feelings even in a way that has previously seemed repulsive to
me,--I mean by use of money.

"About my feelings toward my child there is not much to say, as
they are not very strong. I believe I carry him and help bathe
and attend to him as much as most fathers, and when he is a few
years older I hope I may find him very companionable. But he has
brought me no real joy, though I see other men look at him almost
with affection. But he has brought added happiness to his
mother."

The next case is interesting as showing the mental and emotional
development in a very radical case of sexual inversion.

HISTORY XX.--Englishman, of independent means, aged 49. His
father and his father's family were robust, healthy, and
prolific. On his mother's side, phthisis, insanity, and
eccentricity are traceable. He belongs to a large family, some of

normal. He himself was a weakly and highly nervous child, subject
to night-terrors and somnambulism, excessive shyness and
religious disquietude.

Sexual consciousness awoke before the age of 8, when his
attention was directed to his own penis. His nurse, while out
walking with him one day, told him that when little boys grow'
up their penes fall off. The nursery-maid sniggered, and he felt
that there must be something peculiar about the penis. He
suffered from; irritability of the prepuce, and the nurse
powdered it before he went to sleep. There was no transition from
this to self-abuse.

About the same time he became subject to curious half-waking
dreams. In these he imagined himself the servant of several adult
naked sailors; he crouched between their thighs and called
himself their dirty pig, and by their orders he performed
services for their genitals and buttocks, which he contemplated
