The Book of Worlds by Miles J. Breuer:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"THE APPENDIX AND THE SPECTACLES' and "The Captured Cross-Section," both by Dr. Breuer, brought in a considerable amount of comment. This is the third story in that series. Although it can easily stand on its own merit, this series assumes added interest when we read Dr. Breuer' s reason for writing these stories. We quote him : "... which I wrote largely because I didn't like Mr. Olsen's treatment of the subject of the fourth dimension." This ought to furnish plenty of new material for the "Discussions" columns, unless we miss our guess"
