In 1924 Leonard Woolf paid £800 for the existing stock of the British Psychoanalytical Society's library and the Hogarth Press became their official English publishers. It was a huge financial risk and Virginia was "less sanguine than Leonard about the project. She wrote to Roger Fry that she was alarmed at the Press 'having laid out £800 in the works of Freud.' The stock arrived in July 1924 and was 'dumped in a fortress the size of Windsor castle in ruins upon the floor' in the basement at Tavistock Square." (Julia Briggs, Canvas Issue 18).
