LAShTAL: 11 August in AC’s Life

1937 – Crowley reports that he picked up J W N Sullivan’s ‘Gallio’ for 3d and felt very exhausted & anxious as though death was in the air. He was afraid it might be Pearl Brooksmith. The book concerned is ‘Gallio or the Tyranny of Science’ by J W N Sullivan (90pp. Originally published in 1927). Contemporary reviews say of it: “So packed with ideas it is not possible to give any adequate résumé of its contents” and “An attack on the values which science is so successfully imposing upon civilization.”
