The following is a list of papers held in the archives of the George Walford International Essay Prize. Over time all documents published by students of systematic ideology will be put online; access to those works not yet online is available on request. These works are not necessarily the most important; they are instead the letters that we have. If you have relevant works not listed here, please contact us so that we may compensate you for copies of them. Most of these documents were either published by or collected by the Social Science Association from approximately 1940 to 1953.

1942
The New Marxism. Democratic Union: London (after 1942 based on reference to Common Wealth). Uncredited. Handbill, two pages. "DEMOCRATIC UNTION is a new organisation formed by ex-members of the Communist Party, the ILP, the SPGB, the Anarchist movement, Common Wealth, and politically unattached persons. [...] It is felt, in fact, that for Marxism to achieve positive effect, it is necessary to take up where Engles and Marx left off: i.e. to use the dialectical materialist mthod to interpret and apply the scientific discoveries of the last half-century - particularly in the sphere of human social relations. For this field of study, the founders of Democratic Union attach considerable importance to the work of the Social Science Association."

The Dialectic 2D. London: The Absolute Group (after September 1941). Periodical, 16 pages. "The publication of The Dialectic is the outcome of critical reflection, by a growing number of socialists." Ike Benjamin claimed that the 2d in the masthead was meant to imply two dimensions (the single dimension of Marxist dialectics being insufficient), but that Walsby's friends teased him by calling it The Dialectical Tu'pens.

Correspondence. Also includes open letter signed by B. Franklin. "No doubt you have heard of a group of people composed of Party members and sympathisers who are referred to as Absolutists. These people claim to make a special study of the dialectic process as a universal and absolute principle (ie the science of method) and to be able to apply this to the universal evolution in genera, and the development of political consciousness in particular. [...] The Absolutist [...] may well ask of the Socialist Party, 'Has science to hald on the threshold of political consciousness?' It appears that theory must not be decried, scientific method must not be derided, nor its conclusions scorned - unles of course they happen to conflict with the 'rigid,' 'inflexible,' 'unanswerable' case of the Socialist Party. You are invited, Comrade, to attend the headquarters of the Absolute Group [...] There are special lectures on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. You will there meet Socialist Party members and sympathisers, many of whom you already know."

Leader of New Party Sent to Jail. Evening Citizen 13 August 1942. Periodical, transcription. "George William Walford (23). stated to be the leader in Glasgow of an obscure political party known as the 'Absolutists', was sent to prison for 60 days at Glasgow Sheriff Court today when he admitted using an identity card which did not belong to him."

C.O. Firewatcher Jailed - Evaded Service, Says Fiscal. Evening Times 13 August 1942. Periodical, transcription. "[Walford] made a long statement to the police to the effect that he was called up for the Militia in 1939 and had registered as a conscientious objector on humanitarian grounds. The tribunal registered him as a non-combatant. He then decided that the war was an Imperialist one and wrote to the tribunal saying that his grounds of objection were political."

Absolutist Hadn't Own Identity Card. Bulletin, 14 August 1942. Periodical, transcription. "[Walford] received four notices to appear for medical examination. When the fourth arrived, said [Deputy Fiscal] Mr. [J. C.] McLean, he got the wind up and left his home in London. He traveled throughout the country, staying in Doncaster, Manchester and St. Helens. When he arrived in Glasgow in September, 1941, he got a job as a paid firewatcher." Note that a 1942 letter on Absolutist stationary also lists Richard Tatham as a firewatcher... the group that went on to form the SSA apparently had a great deal of firewatching to do.

Man Used Wrong Identity Card - Sent to Jail. Daily Express, 14 August 1942. Periodical, transcription. "[Walford] stated that he did not buy the identity card which he produced to the police, but that it was given to him by a man in London."

C.] McLean said that Walford, who was a paid firewatcher in Glasgow, was a member of a political party known as the Absolutists, which had 15 members in London and four in Glasgow."

Social Science Association. Peter Rollings. Prior to 18 January 1953. Circular, one page. Complete text: "Whether, and in what sense, this organisation still exists, is a metaphysical question beyond my competence. However, there is a list of 18 people whom it is customary for me to circularise from time to time, chiefly to announce meetings on matters believed to be of interest. At two such meetings about a year ago, called to discuss whether the SSA should stay in being, most of those present seemed in favour of leaving things wherever they were. It may now be felt that the possibility of doing so is impaired by my prospective departure for the Gold Coast. To ascertain views on this, and to determine what is to be done with the stocks of pamphlets, books, etc. in my possession, and with remaining funds, a meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 18th at No. 7, Newman St., W.1., at 7.p.m. It will be proposed that the S.S.A., if it exists, should be wound up, and that a discussion group, formed on a wider basis, should be inaugurated. I wish you all a (materially or intellectually) prosperous year. P. J. Rollings"

To this end the School is publishing every month (from August 1953 onward) one or more papers - hitherto unpublished - on important sociological subjects and a bulletin containing accounts and results of activities, experiments, courses, etc."

Braziers Park Preview of Forthcoming Events No 3. Ipsden: Braziers Park. Handbill, three pages. "October 2-5: Experimental Painting & Modeling, Harold Walsby. Experiment is the key-note of these week-ends. We all work together, jointly exploring new ways of expressing ourselves and gaining new appreciation of the possibilities of our medium. Previous experience is quite unnecessary. The only qualification needed is the urge to paint. [...] October 9-12: Is Democracy Enough?, Harold Walsby. The point is, not how we think Democracy ought to develop, but how in fact it is developing and changing. Not until we have a deeper insight into this latter, and its internal mechanisms and limitations can we really usefully frame how we think democracy ought to change. For unless what we think 'ought to be the case' is based on, and 'geared in' with, what 'actually is the case', our hopes, wishes and fears concerning man's future are likely to be nothing more than empty dreams."

Social Science Association Report of Meetings Between Franklin, Rollings and Tatham, 29 December 1952 and 2 January 1953. Two manuscripts, four pages total. "While to some extent the group's failure so far to make permanent headway can be explained by external causes, more important for our attention are its serious internal defects. These, in our view, are mainly twofold. First, members' approach to common problems has been consistently lacking in practical scientific discipline. [...] [The group's second main internal defect] is the lack of a clear, conscious and defined sense of dedication."
