Description: Extremely rare first edition, first impression. This is a collection of 12 articles in which Wells offers his predictions on the political and economic changes that will come to the world in the wake of the First World War. Wells boldly opened What is Coming?, a new book of prophesy and forecast, by invoking his modest scientific training again as one of the most important factors in his reliability as a prophet. 'But for some of us moderns, who have been touched with the spirit of science, prophesying is almost a habit of mind' (Feir, p. 176). Gordon D. Feir, H. G. Wells at the End of His Tether (2005). Octavo. Original green cloth, titles to front board in blind and spine in gilt. Spine a little cocked, ends a touch bumped and rubbed, contents slightly toned. An excellent copy of this poorly produced book, no dust jacket.
