His desk still keeps the signs of current reading and unfinished works about: psichiatry and freedom, history of psychiatry, and criminality and psychiatry.</FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="Times">One of the most remarkable features of this library, is that it was </FONT><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="Times" COLOR="#0000CC"><B>a working library</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="Times">, and not the one of a collector who would have liked to own the most representative books of the history of a theory or of his own subject to his eyes. It was not an ideal library either, which would trace, book after book, the course of a work. In this extent, we should remember that Henry Ey nourished most of his work and thinking by consulting books and magazines at the library of Saint-Anne Hospital (Paris). This library was leaded by himself from 1930 to 1970, and nowadays is called "Henry Ey Library". It has a few old books, (previous to XX century), and neither the works of Jackson and Janet nor an original edition of Moureau de Tours appear in the catalogue, unless they were discovered in the future. This is a very paradoxical fact for those who know Ey´s work.</FONT></P> <P> </P> <P><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="Times">On the other hand, it </FONT><FONT SIZE="+1" FACE="Times" COLOR="#0000CC"><B>is a library wich goes along H.
