Notes: The bibliographical details in the edition consulted may be false. It seems more likely that this was published between April 1932 (the month following a Bulletin of the Institute for Research in English Teaching 82: 8 list of Institute publications which fails to mention this work) and December 1932 (the month before an indication in Bulletin of the Institute for Research in English Teaching 90: 5 that Books Two and Three had already been published, with Books Four and Five 'in press'). The same considerations apply to 1933u.
