A report presented by John Blacking
A musical instrument at least two thousand years old was recently discovered in Indo-China by a French ethnographer and taken to the Musee de I'Homme in Paris. The director of the Department of Musical Ethnology, M. Andre Sohaeffner, has described the instrument in a report which John Blacking , who has worked with him at the Musee, presents in an English translation, with musical illustrations.

Comte de St. Simon (1760-1825)
Fifth of six weekly lectures by Isaiah Berlin
Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford
In these lectures Isaiah Berlin discusses the ideas of some social and political thinkers before and after the French Revolution which, in his view, have had a greater influence both for good and evil in the twentieth ceatury than in their own time and are now more important than ever.
This lecture is concerned with the ideas of Claude Henri de Rouvroy , Comte de St. Simon, who predicted, analysed, and welcomed the new centralised society of the late nineteenth and twentieth centunes with disturbing accuracy.
