 Roulston on James Norman Hall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It is not surprising that Hall, who since the first world war had been expressing his discomfort with the ever-accelerating pace of life that industry and technology were foisting upon mankind, should have praised the essay for being a bulwark against the ravages of modernity.
Hall's resignation was sustained, no doubt, by his recollection of the many rejections his own writings had elicited before he was to achieve even a minimal success.
And Hall was hardly unique in preferring a bygone era to the present or in favoring some less developed area of the globe over industrialized Europe and America (although the import of his preferences set him well apart from the main stream).

 Sir James Hall
Sir James Hall discovered, that when the two substances were pulverized, and mixed in the proportions in which they usually occur in granite, a heat very little superior to that required to melt the feldspar alone, fused both, the feldspar acting in some respects as a solvent, or flux to the quartz.
Sir James Hall, conceiving it possible that a sufficient heat might be procured, to exemplify the theory on some calcareous bodies, commenced a series of experiments in 1798, which he prosecuted through success and disappointment for seven years.
Sir James Hall perceived that no form could be appropriately assumed in Gothic architecture which might not be constructed in wicker-ware; and considered that the earliest stone buildings of this peculiar form were imitations of the natural forms assumed in constructions of boughs and twigs.
