Abstract
THIS book is not perhaps likely to become popular. It is defective both in shape and in style; nor is the language of the author free from eccentricity and even ambiguity. It is possible that some reason may be urged for such phrases as “Britamerindian Commonweal” or “Britamer-indian re-orientation of politics,” in which the author seems to take an especial pleasure. But phrases like “a spiritual instrument of exploration on the rough politico-economic terra incognita,” or “feeling of communitary responsibility,” or “an extension of our synoptical categories,” or “a synoptical survey of the grand human bi-directional spiral,” are disturbing, and may well be forbidding, to general readers.
