FIRST EDITION. 8vo., Publisher's cloth in original dustwrapper. A carefully handled copy in clean, bright condition. Fine. An uncommon title; Methuen printed 10,000 copies but had sold only 2,200 on the eve of the war, and ultimately destroyed 5,000 copies that had not yet been bound up. A late but important Wells sci-fi title; A book that warns the educational community ("Cam[bridge/Ox]ford") of impending war and world destruction, and of "Education's" lack of action. Wells employed the device of a utopian ventriloquist- the voice of the Visitant from space- who insists that Camford stands both at the head of education and in its path- as a method to put forward his own arguments.
