I have tried to imagine space as finite. It is impossible. How can you conceive the edge of space? Something must be beyond-something or nothing, and even that would be more space, wouldn't it?" "Gosh," said the Very Young Man, and lighted another cigarette. The Chemist resumed, smiling a little. "Now, if it seems probable that there is no limit to the immensity of space, why should we make its smallness finite? How can you say that the atom cannot be divided? As a matter of fact, it already has been. The most powerful microscope will show you realms of smallness to which you can penetrate no other way. Multiply that power a thousand times, or ten thousand times, and who shall say what you will see?" The Chemist paused, and looked at the intent little group around him. He was a youngish man, with large features and horn-rimmed glasses, his rough English-cut clothes hanging loosely over his broad, spare frame. The Banker drained his glass and rang for the waiter. "Very interesting," he remarked. "Don't be an ass, George," said the Big Business Man. "Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean there is no sense to it."

A legion of his stories have appeared in various magazines, and half a dozen of his novels have been printed in book form, including one in England. Moreover, he is really one of the old-timers of the fantasy-writing field, having been in it over a quarter of a century. Without use of literary trickery or verbose erudite passages he has written to entertain----and the fact that he has succeeded in entertaining his followers royally through the years merits no little praise...."----from Ray Cummings: A Meeting by Thyril L. Ladd.
