The book was first published in 1961 as an English reference material for students and was unique to the era (i.e. 1960s). This can be seen in its introduction where it was highlighted that one important requirement of these reading materials from the period was to “malayanise” the text. It also reminded users of Singapore’s impending merger with Malaysia in its route to independence during the late 1950s-1960s.
