Trotter (1872-1939) was one of the foremost cancer specialists of his day and was also an expert on crowd psychology. He was a brother-in-law of Ernest Jones, and was responsible for getting Freud named a Corresponding Member of the Royal Society. He visited Freud during his last illness (both men were to die in 1939). Trotter also assisted the translator in preparing the English version of Moses and Monotheism, as indicated in the translator's note on p. [5]. "Freud's last work was an anthropological and psychoanalytical study of the rise of Judaism, which he rooted in the monotheistic worship of the Egyptian sun-god Aten; and an examination of the significance of religion in general" (Norman). Stanford 63; Norman F144.
