First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original blue cloth. Dust-jacket. A quietly significant book that its obscurity belies. Lawrence William Faucett (1892–1978) was, alongside Harold E. Palmer and Michael West, one of the three most influential figures in the development of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching between the wars; he worked in China and Japan, wrote The Teaching of English in the Far East (1927) and the Oxford English Course (1933), the first UK-published general EFL course. Decidedly scarce in the jacket. A little light foxing; cloth very good; jacket worn at head of spine and lower fore corner of lower panel, some minor marking, otherwise very good.
