(? -? ) US author whose Interior World: A Romance Illustrating a New Hypothesis of Terrestrial Organization [for full title see Checklist] (1885) is a Hollow Earth tale after the fashion of John Cleves Symmes; its interest is perhaps diminished by the protagonist's discovery that the interior world is uninhabited. A crank nonfiction essay on Gravity is appended (see Pseudoscience). [JC]
