First edition, first printing. [vi], xx, 798 [2]. 9.5" x 6.5" Alfred Korzybski was a Polish-American philosopher who created the field of general semantics, which operates from the belief that we have no direct access to reality due to the limitations of our nervous system and language. His book Science and Sanity acts as a training manual for these theories. After he published this book, Korzybski went on tour around the United States to promote his theories, establishing the Institute of General Semantics in 1938. The Institute still thrives today, active in hosting symposiums, publishing books, and offering classes for their members spanning the globe. Presumably while he was in Illinois for his promotional tour, Korzybski inscribed on the front free endpaper of this copy, "To Anita L. Lebeson, with best semantic wishes and memories, Evanston, 1935, A. Korzybski." Lebeson was an author and historian who taught at Spertus College of Judaica in Chicago, specializing in the history of Jewish people in the United States.

Near fine. The English Liberal politician and member of the House of Commons George Woodyatt Hastings (1825-1917) was General Secretary of the National Association for Promotion of Social Science and Chairman of their Council from 1868 to 1883. Ironically, he was expelled from the House of Commons for committing fraud by appropriating substantial funds from the property of John Brown, whose will he served as trustee, leaving but meager sums to the children. He was convicted in criminal court and sentenced to five years. The English banker, economist and statistician William Newmarch (1820-1882) was President of the Economy and Trade Department of the Social Science Association. The Liberal politician, barrister, and author John Edward Jenkins (1838-1910) served as Agent-General of Canada, acting to encourage emigration. The author of satirical novels, he is best known for "Ginx's Baby: His Birth and Other Misfortunes" which described a child born into poverty who was the victim of rival so-called philanthropists. His other novels include "Lord Bantam" and "Barney Geoghegan, M.P.".
