Four Studies in Barotse Law by Max Gluckman
Professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Manchester
3-The Case of the ' Dog-in-the-Manger' Headman
In the very simplicity of Barotse law, Professor Gluckman argues, we can see clearly principles that are obscured by the complexity of our own law: that the ' certainty ' of law as a body of rules, for example, resides in the ' uncertainty ' of its basic concepts. In these talks Professor Gluckman traces the fundamental importance of the concept of ' the reasonable man ' through cases which he himself attended in Barotse courts in Northern Rhodesia.

Mr. Jones was one of a group of architects who last year visited the U.S.S.R. at the invitation of the Union of Soviet Architects.
