The writer of the account of tracing the van Someren title in Holland.

From Arthur Evans Wolff's autobiography :

"A third was Arthur, a likeable 'rolling-stone' character. He also lived in Sydney (Australia) at one time and married a girl from Killara before returning to England. He had odd religious beliefs of his own devising, and in his later years be came a convinced flat-earthist, rejecting all evidence to the contrary."

Jay (Juliet) Wolff recalls that this flat-earthist belief was supported, at least in part, by a literalist reading of the King James translation of Isaiah 40:5 ". . the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together . . "
