“On the side of aesthetic appreciation ‘Dynamic symmetry’ affords, at least to one critic, very little help.... Mr Hambidge’s patient and modestly presented researches should cause a restudy of the whole problem, which can only be beneficial.” F. J. Mather, Jr.

HAMILTON, CICELY MARY. William—an Englishman. *$1.25 (2c) Stokes
20–8361
Mild-mannered, pale-faced, undersized, painstaking and obedient—thus is William Tully characterized in this biographical novel. At his desk in a London insurance office he is vaguely conscious that his too well regulated life has been ordered by his masterful mother. Her sudden death leaves him adrift and chance lands him among the reformers. Like a new garment he puts on their cult and convictions, finds him a wife among them—and is surprised by the war while on his honeymoon in Belgium. Inwardly and outwardly his world collapses about him and his wife is crushed in the ruins. Stunned he returns to England, his pacifism changed into patriotism. After several rejections he is accepted in the army and eventually finds himself caught in the rat-trap of a military clerkship from whence he is rescued from growing bitterness by an aerial bomb.
