The edition

translated by Beatrice M. Hinkle · Moffat, Yard & Co. · 1916

The 1916 Hinkle translation of Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido — the book that ended the friendship with Freud, and the one Jung spent thirty years rewriting into Symbols of Transformation. Public domain in the United States, so the scan is the honest edition to send you to.
