Beschreibung:
8vo. 1¼ pp. on bifolium. To the publisher Maurice Lachâtre concerning the French translator of "Das Kapital" Joseph Roy, the publication of the second German edition of "Das Kapital", and the Russian translation of the first edition, a possible reissue of Marx's early text "The Poverty of Philosophy", and the poor health of his grandson Étienne Lafargue: "Vous vous trompez! Monsieur Roy est français. Il a été (mais quand il était déjà un homme fait) pendant quelques années en Allemagne. Il traduit trop litéralement dans les passages faciles, mais il montre sa force dans les choses difficiles. Néanmoins, vos corrections me serviront toujours comme des matériaux utiles pour la correction définitive. La première livraison de la dernière édition allemande (le libraire allemand vous a imité en acceptant pour la dernière édition la forme de livraison) paraîtra probablement pendant la semaine suivante. J'ai reçu de St. Petersburgh la traduction russe (d'après la première édition). Elle est excellente. Le livre a dû passer par la censure, mais la censure n a rien rayé excepté mon portrait. Néanmoins, comme il y a dans le livre des attaques contre la Russie, l éditeur russe n est pas encore en dehors de tout danger. Pour la dernière correction j'ai ici l assistance de Longuet, Vaillant, Lissagaray et autres communards compétents. Vos nouvelles politiques m intéressent beaucoup et vous m'obligerez beaucoup en les continuant. À propos. Un libraire français (de Paris) - tout en me demandant de ne pas le nommer - m a offert de republier mon livre (français) contre Proudhon: Misère de la Philosophie. Réponse à la Philosophie de la Misère de M. Proudhon. Bruxelles et Paris 1847. L édition est complètement épuisée. J ai des mauvaises nouvelles de Madrid sur l état de santé du petit Lafargue [.]". - ("You are mistaken! Mr Roy is French. He spent (but when he was already a grown man) some years in Germany. He translates simple passages too literally but shows his strengths when it comes to more difficult things. Nevertheless, your corrections will always serve me as useful material for the final correction. The first instalment of the latest German edition (the German publisher is imitating you by accepting the mode of instalments for the latest edition) will probably appear during the next week. I have received from St. Petersburg the Russian translation (off the first edition). It is excellent. The books had to pass censorship but the censors haven't effaced anything except my portrait. Nevertheless, since there are attacks on Russia in the book, the Russian editor is not yet fully out of danger. For the last correction I have here the assistance of Longuet, Vaillant, Lissagaray and other competent members of the Commune. By the way. A French publisher (from Paris) - who asked me not to mention his name - offered me to reissue my book (French) against Proudhon: The Poverty of Philosophy. A reply to 'The Philosophy of Poverty' of M. Proudhon. Brussels and Paris 1847. This edition is completely sold out. I have bad news from Madrid concerning the health condition of the little Lafargue [.]"). - Nine hundred copies of the Russian translation of "Das Kapital" were published in 1872 and, to Marx's surprise, quickly sold out. A French re-edition of "The Poverty of Philosophy" did not come forward during Marx's lifetime. Like his two siblings, Étienne Lafargue, the son of Paul Lafargue and Karl Marx's second daughter Laura, did not reach adulthood but died at the age of four in Madrid in May 1872. - Slightly creased. - Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874).

8vo. ½ page on laid paper, torn from a notebook, watermark "Joyn[son] Super[fine]". Measures 181:114 mm. Unpublished letter to the Chartist and radical freethinker Collet Dobson Collet (1812-98), in English: "My dear Sir, On my return from the seaside I found your letter d.d. 23 September. You will much oblige me by being so kind as to forward me some of the copies of the 'Revelations', as I have none left. Yours very truly [.]". - In very good condition, with intersecting folds, moderate wrinkling and a few creases; the sheet is bright, the writing dark, precise, and easily legible in spite of Marx's distinctively minute hand. - Marx was a close friend of the Collet family, which included the pioneering feminist activist Sophia Dobson Collet, social reformer Clara Collet, and the recipient of this letter, the editor of "The Free Press: A Diplomatic Review", to which Marx contributed a number of articles. The men became good friends and soon held weekly meetings at each other's houses to recite Shakespeare. The assembled group, which was formally coined as the Dogberry Club, included Marx's daughter Eleanor and Collet's daughter Clara, as well as Edward Rose, Dollie Radford, Sir Henry Juta, and Friedrich Engels. The publication to which Marx alludes, "Revelations of the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century", was originally serialized in the "Free Press" from August 1856 to April 1857. - Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 34 (Briefe Januar 1875 - Dezember 1880).

Small 8vo. 1 page. In French. Apparently to Juste Vernouillet in Paris, director of the publishing house Lachatre & Co. in the absence of Maurice Lachatre, who was still exiled in San Sebastian, Spain, for his role in the Paris Commune. Marx addresses Vernouillet as "cher citoyen" and sends him the next 31 pages of Joseph Roy's translated manuscript of "Le Capital" (up to p. 472), with his own extensive revisions, for typesetting. He also requests "100 copies of fascicle II, as well as 30 copies of fascicle I, which you will add to my account". - The first livraison of the French edition had appeared in August 1872, the second was delayed until early February 1873. In January 1872, Marx and Lachatre had not even signed their publication contract. Although Marx was not usually prone to misdating letters at the beginning of the year (a lapse more common in Engels's letters), he was at that moment seriously overworked with revising Roy's translation for Lachatre's ongoing publication, and simultaneously completing the revised second German edition for his publisher Otto Meissner in Hamburg. Quite recently he had complained to his correspondent Friedrich Adolph Sorge, "Because of the French translation, which makes me more work than if I had to do it without the translator, I am so overworked that I have not been able to write to you" (21 Dec. 1872), and still a month after the present letter, he wrote to Friedrich Bolte in very similar vein that "the revision of the French translation is causing me more work than if I had done the whole translation myself" (12 February 1873). - Slightly wrinkled and slight edge damage. Recipient's note to upper margin. - Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 57679

Please to inform them that the edition is completely exhausted. I have myself in vain tried to get some copies second hand for a correspondent at St. Petersburgh.

8vo. 1 page. To an unnamed addressee, probably Juste Vernouillet, director of the publishing house Lachâtre & Co.: "M. Roy ayant priè M. Lachâtre de lui faire donner 300 f. à la fin de ce mois. M. Lachâtre a demandé que je donne mon autorization. J'écris donc aujourdhui à vous et à M. L. pour vous autorizer à payer immédiatement cette somme à M. Roy. Je vois de la lettre de M. Roy qu'il n'a pas encore reçu un seul fascicle imprimé. C'est presque incroyable! Certainement, ce n'était pas là une manière d'activer son travail ou de le mettre à même de changer son mode de traduction [.]" ("M. Roy has asked M. Lachâtre to give him 300 f. by the end of this month. M. Lachâtre has asked me to give my authorisation. Therefore, I write to you and to M. L. today to authorise you to pay M. Roy this sum immediately. From M. Roy's letter I see that he has not received a single printed fascicle. That is almost unbelievable! Surely, this was not a means to prompt his work or to even make him change his mode of translation [.]"). - With old inventory note. - Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874).

12mo. 1 p. In French. To Juste Vernouillet, then director of the publishing house Lachâtre & Co., whom he addresses as "Cher citoyen": "Je n'ai plus de manuscrit. Veuillez en avertir M. Roy. Il me faut aussi son adresse pour lui envoyer différentes choses [.] J'ai enfermé dans les épreuves que je retourne aujourd'hui à M. Lahure, un manuscrit de M. Lachâtre (Préface à Eugène Sue)" ("I am out of copy. Would you kindly advise M. Roy accordingly. I also need his address to send him various things [.] With the proofs that I return today to M. Lahure, I have enclosed a manuscript by M. Lachâtre (preface to Eugène Sue)". - With secretarial annotation by the recipient.

8vo. 1 p. bifolium with integral address leaf. Unpublished, early letter in French, Marx's only known missive to the Belgian journalist and politician Lucien-Léopold Jottrand (1804-77), who during the Belgian Revolution of 1830 had designed what would become the national flag of Belgium: "J'ai l'honneur de vous faire parvenir l'original de mon petit discours inséré au Northern Star. Je me fais un Plaisir d'y ajouter un exemplaire de mon livre contre M. Proudhon [.]". Five days previously, at a Brussels "Workers' Banquet" led by Engels and Jottrand, it had been decided to found a "Democratic Association", and Engels was elected to its organising committee. Engels had warned Jottrand that he might have to leave Belgium and thus would be unable to serve; his suggested replacement was Marx. Indeed, on the 30th of September, Engels officially wrote to Jottrand that circumstances would require his absence: "I therefore request you to call on a German democrat resident in Brussels to participate in the work of the committee charged with organising a universal democratic society. I would take the liberty of proposing to you one of the German democrats in Brussels whom the meeting, had he been able to attend it, would have nominated for the office which, in his absence, it honoured me by conferring upon myself. I mean Mr Marx, who, I am firmly convinced, has the best claim to represent German democracy on the committee. Hence it would not be Mr Marx who would be replacing me there, but rather I who, at the meeting, replaced Mr Marx [.]" (cf. MEGA III.2, p. 110). On the same day, he advised Marx of the content of his letter to Jottrand, adding: "I had in fact already agreed with Jottrand that I would advise him in writing of my departure and propose you for the committee. Jottrand is also away and will be back in a fortnight. If, as I believe, nothing comes of the whole affair, it will be Heilberg's proposal that falls through; if something does come of it, then it will be we who have brought the thing about. Either way we have succeeded in getting you and, after you, myself, recognised as representatives of the German democrats in Brussels, besides the whole plot having been brought to a dreadfully ignominious end" (cf. p. 105). Under the influence of Marx, the Brussels Democratic Association would soon become one of the principal hubs of the international democratic movement, and the present letter constitutes Marx's formal introduction to its president, Jottrand. Notably, Marx included with his letter the manuscript of a piece he had written for Engels's "Northern Star" as well as his recently published "Poverty of Philosophy", an attack on Proudon's "Philosophy of Poverty" and a pivotal work in Marx's thinking. Here, Marx memorably described his opponent as "petit bourgeois" - an epithet which resounded in all later Communist literature. Marx's book paved the way for the Communist Manifesto, written between December 1847 and January 1848. - Marx dated the letter "2 octobre" from his Brussels address in the rue d'Orléans; the letter is erroneously docketed "1848" in another hand. Vertical and horizontal folds, but well-preserved. - Not in MEGA III.2 (Letters May 1846-Dec. 1848); for Jottrand cf. p. 1176. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 49559

12mo. 1 page. To an unnamed addressee, probably Juste Vernouillet, director of the publishing house Lachâtre & Co, about the last part of the translation of "Das Kapital": "Cher citoyen, J'ai reçu hier de la part de M. Roy la fin de la traduction. Il faut lui donc payer le reste des 1500 frs que j'ai avancés (à M. Lachâtre) pour sa rémunération. Ma santé est à peu près rétablie et M. Lahure recevra bientôt une bonne partie du manuscrit [.]" ("Dear citizen, yesterday I received from M. Roy the end of the translation. Therefore he has to be paid the rest of the 1500 frs which I have advanced (to M. Lachâtre) for his payment. My health is nearly restored and M. Lahure will soon receive a good part of the manuscript [.]"). - With a notarial inventory mark.

8vo. ½ page. In French. To "cher citoyen", i. e., Juste Vernouillet in Paris, director of the publishing house Lachatre & Co. in the absence of Maurice Lachatre, who was still exiled in San Sebastian, Spain, for his role in the Paris Commune. - In connection with the ongoing translation of "Das Kapital" into French, Marx writes that it has been nearly two weeks since he announced to the printer, M. Lahure, that he would send him more copy. "Unfortunately, I fell ill and needed to stay in bed until yesterday. I was thus prevented from correcting the manuscript, and I could only resume work after a few days. This is an unpleasant incident". Marx further inquires after the latest postal address of Joseph Roy (1830-1916), his Bordeaux-based translator. - Severely overworked with revising Roy's translation for Lachatre's ongoing publication of "Le Capital" and completing the revised second German edition for his publisher Otto Meissner in Hamburg, the final corrected proofs of which he had sent Meißner at the beginning of the month, Marx had fallen ill in April and would suffer from intermittent bouts of headaches and insomnia until August. - Traces of old folds.

12mo. 1 page. To an unnamed addressee: "Dans votre lettre que je viens de recevoir aujourd'hui aussi bien que dans la lettre précédente vous parlez seulement de la sixième série, mais veuillez bien remarquer que je n'ai pas encore reçu la cinquième! J'ai écrit pour avoir des notes biographiques de Bebel et Liebknecht. Les chances du roy sont plus que douteuses; mais même s'il revenait, la France ne serait pas perdue. C'est du reste la politique de M. Thiers qui a amené cette catastrophe et, si la France y échappe, c'est grâce à la Hectique absurde des hommes de l'ordre moral et aux hésitations et scrupules de l'enfant du miracle, autrement dit 'l'enfant de l'Europe' [.]" ("In your letter I just received today, as well as in the previous one, you only speak of the sixth series, but please note that I have not yet received the fifth! I wrote to obtain biographical notes on Bebel and Liebknecht. The King's chances are more than dubious; but even if he returns, France will not be lost. By the way, it is M. Thiers' politics that caused this catastrophe, and if France escapes from it, it will be thanks to the absurd hecticness of the men of the moral order and to the hesitations and scruples of the child prodigy, also known as 'the child of Europe' [.]". - Marx alludes to Henri d'Artois, the Legitimist pretender to the throne of France between 1844 and 1883. After the collapse of the Second Empire under Napoleon III, his claim to the throne was supported by both Legitimists and Orléanists. However, Henri's insistence on the abandonment of the tricolour flag led to his losing the throne and to the establishment of the Third Republic. - With old inventory note. Small waterstain to upper left-hand corner, not touching text; two tiny marks from a paper clip, affecting a single letter. - Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874).

8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. Measures 202:131 mm. In this, one of Marx's few known letters dating from his stay in Paris between June and August 1849, he bids his farewells to the French journalist and politician Ferdinand Flocon (1800-66) on the day of his departure for London: "Mon cher Flocon, J'ai du quitter la France, par ordre de la république honnête, sans pouvoir vous faire mes adieux. M. Wolff, qui vous présentera cette lettre, répresente en mon absence notre journal et notre parti. Je vais résider à Londres. Si vous avez quelque chose à m'écrire, veuillez la remettre à M. Julian Harvey, rédacteur du Northern Star. Salut et fraternité [.]." Flocon was the editor of the democratic newspaper "La Réforme"; Engels hat met him in October 1847 and contributed several articles. While Marx and Engels had little regard for Flocon's petty-bourgeois politics and at first viewed him chiefly as a tool for their propagandistic purposes, they soon recognized Flocon as a man of character, Engels writing on 28 March 1848: "I've been to visit old Flocon a few times: the fellow still lives in his wretched fifth-floor flat, smokes the most common tobacco in an old clay pipe and has only bought himself a new dressing gown. Otherwise quite as republican in his habits as he was as editor of the 'Réforme', and just as genial, cordial, and outspoken as ever. He's one of the most upright fellows I know." A Montagnard and member of the provisional government of the Republic in 1848 (he would be expelled from France after the 1851 coup d'état), it was Flocon who invited Marx to France with an enthusiastic letter at the very moment when he was evicted from Brussels: "Brave et loyal Marx! Le sol de la République Française est un champs d'azyle pour tous les amis de la liberté. La tyrannie vous a banni: la France libre vous rouvre ses portes à vous [.]" (Paris, 1 March 1848). When the revolutionary fervour seized the rest of Europe, Marx again set off for Germany in April, but in May 1849 the Prussian authorities turned him out. He returned to Paris in June, only to receive a notice of banishment to Brittany on 19 July. Marx fought the order, but lost his appeal on 23 August. On the same day, he wrote to Engels: "I have been banished to the Departement of Morbihan, the Pontine Marshes of Brittany. You will understand that I will have no part in this disguised attempt at murder. Hence, I am leaving France. I cannot have a passport to Switzerland, so I must to London, tomorrow [.]". A day later, he wrote the present farewell to his "cher Flocon", never again to settle on the continent. - On wove paper with floral design embossed to upper left corner, there marked "8" in faint blue crayron, likely by the recipient. Some browning and light wrinkling; traces of original folds. Some duststains and traces of mounting on blank leaf, but well preserved. - Not published in MEGA III.3 (Letters January 1849 - December 1850). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 48703
