ANARCHIST COMMUNISM DEFINED AND DEFENDED.
[Comrade H. Davis or the Socialist League, delivered a lecture having this title, at 13 Farringdom Road, under the auspices of the Clerkenwell Branch of the Socialist League, on the 22nd of last month.]
IN all discussions on this subject, said be, whether our opponents be of the most generous or the most hostile sort, Anarchy, is, they admit, the highest form of civilization conceivable.

The district doctor, a talkative young medical student, who had just finished his studies, came to see her.
