In Latin the word referred originally to the view of the world from ancient Rome. The name Urban has been taken as a papal name by nine popes and referred to the location of the Holy See at the Vatican in Rome and the pope's status as Bishop of Rome. Urbane has a similar meaning; Oxford English Dictionary notes that the relationship of urbane to urban is similar to the relationship humane bears to human. In language, urbanity still connotes a smooth and literate style, free of barbarisms and other infelicities.

A second edition was published in Mexico in 1942 but, since Bergamín did not advise him of this and Cernuda himself was living in Scotland at the time, he was unable to correct this and other infelicities. Gebser himself, together with Roy Hewin Winstone, was compiling an anthology of contemporary Spanish poetry translated into German and Cernuda tried to get him to exclude any poems by Guillén, Salinas or Dámaso Alonso, on the basis that they were teachers rather than poets. He only succeeded in getting Alonso excluded and the anthology was published in Berlin in 1936.Taravillo: Luis Cernuda anos espanoles p 313 In addition, he translated a set of 6 poems by Eluard, published in Litoral in 1929.

The ruins in the background, including the tower tomb of Caecilia Metella, the ruins of Tusculum, and, to the right, a Roman aqueduct, indicate the Neoclassicist love of antiquity. In contrast to the asymmetry of dominant Baroque and Rococo styles, Neoclassicism praised simplicity and symmetry and the classic principles of the arts of Rome and Ancient Greece. Detail from the painting: relief scene of Iphigenia The love of classicism bound together the two artists, who both shared this interest, which is mirrored in the painting, though the pastiche of its numerous allusions, and the 'anatomical infelicities' that despoil its naturalism, upset a purely classical tone, producing a kind of sentimental classicism. At the time Goethe was preoccupied with his verse drama Iphigenia in Tauris, and he recited extracts to Tischbein.

Throughout the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Chambers was an "internationalist" reformer – for over twenty years he travelled (often with his family which was unusual for an Antipodean academic at that time) first to Europe in 1959 and then to the USA (for a total of 4.5 years – out of those 20). He held several visiting professorships at various institutions such as the Universities of Chicago, California at Berkeley, Michigan Ann- Arbor, Florida, and Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, but he remained in permanent employment at the University of Sydney. The 1977 American Accounting Association study, Statement of Accounting Theory and Theory Acceptance described Chambers as a leading "golden age’ theoretician," recognizing his influence in promoting "decision usefulness" as a major purpose of accounting. He sought to rid accounting of its infelicities, its addiction to dogma; and to formulate a theoretically-based system of accounting founded on principles drawn from the domain of commerce – his conceptual framework.
