Individualism: a System of Politics (Dodo Press) Wordsworth Donisthorpe

Wordsworth Donisthorpe (1847-1913) was an English individualist anarchist, inventor, pioneer of cinematography and chess enthusiast. His works include: Individualism: A System of Politics (1889) and Law in a Free State (1895). "The range of subjects dealt with in the present volume is doubtless a wide one; but it will be found, I trust, that all have been treated consistently from what may be called the individualist standpoint. The merit of formulating this theory of government, and thus of laying the rough foundations upon which a sound art of Politics may be based, undoubtedly belongs to Mr. Herbert Spencer, who has contributed more to the scientific study of society than any other thinker-not even excepting Auguste Comte or John Austin.
