Recent research in Africa has shown a wide range of political systems, from small societies of wandering hunters to large states of several million people comparable with mediaeval European feudal kingdoms. In between are many societies in which a central government is lacking; the political system is based upon a balance of power between many small groups, which with their lack of classes or specialized political offices, have been called 'ordered anarchies'. First published in 1958.

Originally published in 1913, this volume contains the full text of editions one, two and three of The Blue Review - the magazine of literature, drama, art and music - from May 1913 to July 1913.
