I'm pretty sure this dusty tome is out of print. I bought a reprint from India. I think most modern educated people would find many of the concepts here to be platitudes, but the author writes very clearly (possibly at the apex of 20th-century grammar and usage), and the examples from 1930s UK political figures are fascinating; mostly because these important people and their prewar concerns were so overshadowed by what was to come.

About how to become more aware of one's decision making processes, particular particularly in regard to political and civic questions. Most of the examples are drawn from news reports and speeches regarding European politics of the mid 1930s. The highlight is a chapter where Stebbing dissects an anti-suffrage speech from 1910. The voice is that of a conversational and somewhat chiding lecture. ( )
