CHAPTER

The Abolition of Man by Lewis Carroll

The Control of Language is the name that Lewis gives to a book that was actually called The Control of Language. He disguises it with this invented name, and he doesn't refer to the two authors by their real names but again, disguises them under the names Gaius and Tishis.
