About this Item

199 pp; 7 figs. Original cloth. Top & bottom of spine, and joints, very rubbed. Paper label on spine. Good. First Edition of this English translation. In 1928 the English translation by Horsley Gantt of Pavlov's Lectures on Conditioned Reflexes was published by International Publishers. When this Volume II of Pavlov's Lectures on Conditioned Reflexes was published in 1941, Volume I was reissued (the 1941 imprint of volume I is the third printing). Tipped to front flyleaf: TYPED LETTER, SIGNED, FROM HORSLEY GANTT TO STANLEY COBB (see photo). Letterhead: Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Pavlovian Laboratory. The letter reads: "Dr. Stanley Cobb/ Harvard Medical School/ Boston, Mass./ Dear Stanley,/ I requested the publishers to send/ you with my compliments a copy of my "Lectures/ on Conditioned Reflexes: Conditioned Reflexes and Psychiatry", which is just out./ Sincerely yours, W. Horsley Gantt (signed "Horsley")." Ink stamp of "Psychiatric Department/ Massachusetts General Hospital/ Boston, Massachusetts" on bottom right corner of letter. This copy eventually came into the hands of George Gifford Jr. There isn't any ownership marking of his in the book, but there is a letter from George W. Thorn to Gifford in 1980. Thorn spent several years at John Hopkins (1938-1942) working with Horsley Gantt, before Harvard scooped him up in 1942 after Soma Weiss died unexpectedly.
