To one who has just begun to make his acquaintance with the
literature of general semantics, Mother Gorman's book will prove an
invaluable guide. From her first chapter giving a historical sketch
of the main ideas to her final chapter surveying the ways in which
they have influenced education in America, the book is a mine of
useful information. Mother Gorman is not a general semanticist. Her
reservations about what she regards as the profound philosophical
errors of general semantics naturally keep her from aligning
herself with this school of thought. But she is an unusually
interested bystander and a diligent scholar. Hence she has made an
extremely thorough search of the literature, with the result that
in many ways she knows a lot more about general semantics than many
who call themselves semanticists.--S. I. Hayakawa
