Marx, Karl, philosopher and economist (1818-1883).
Autograph letter signed. [London], 28. IV. 1873.
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. Recipient's note to upper margin, some offsetting from similar notes to verso. Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874).

Autograph letter signed. [London], 28. X. 1873.
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. Tiny holes; lower margin slightly frayed.

Marx, Karl, philosopher and economist (1818-1883).
Autograph letter signed. Brussels, 2 Oct. [1848].
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 Unpublished, early letter in French, Marx's only known missive to the Belgian journalist and politician Lucien-Léopold Jottrand (1804-77), who during the Belgian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.

Marx, Karl, philosopher and economist (1818-1883).
Autograph letter signed. Karlsbad, 18. IX. 1874.
8vo. ¾ p. In French. To his publisher Maurice Lachâtre, who in late 1873 had moved from San Sebastian, Spain, to his new exile in Belgium, as he was still wanted by the French police for his role in the Paris Commune. Marx writes that he took the waters at Karlsbad for five weeks and "will be leaving Germany in a few days to return to London. I believe that my health is restored and that I will now be in a condition to complete the French edition once and for all. If I pass through Belgium - I have not yet decided on my travel route - I will be happy to go and see you". With one textual correction by Marx. In a postscript, he adds that he just read in the newspaper "La Patrie" a review of "Le Capital" by a certain Gaussen: "This gentleman never had the book in his hand. He dares to quote, in quotation marks, entire passages which are his own creation and which he has the impudence to attribute to me". - Suffering from insomnia and headaches due to severe overwork, mainly from labouring on "Capital", Marx spent a month from 19 August to 21 September at Karlsbad. Staying at the Hotel Germania, he frequently met the Social Democrat Louis Kugelmann and his family, but the relationship cooled after a falling-out earlier in September. - Traces of old horizontal fold. A few wrinkles and creases, especially in the margins; some old paper flaws in the lower half of the leaf, mostly confined to the lower margin and lower right edge, but no loss to text. Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874).

Marx, Karl, philosopher and economist (1818-1883).
Autograph letter signed. London, 1. V. 1872.
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).

Marx, Karl, philosopher and economist (1818-1883).
Autograph letter signed. London, 1. XI. 1872.
8vo. 1¼ pp. on bifolium. To the publisher Maurice Lachâtre concerning a manuscript for the French edition of "Das Kapital" that got lost on the way to the printer Louis Justin Lahure: "Vous savez que j'avais envoyé du manuscrit à M. Lahure le 8 Octobre. Le 19 Oct. je reçus une lettre de M. Lahure m'annoncant que le manuscrit n’était point arrivé à son adresse. Alors a commencé une correspondance entre moi et l’administration supérieure de la poste anglaise. Dans sa lettre d’avant-hier le secrétaire général de la poste me communique - 1) que le manuscrit a été dûment expédié en France et qu’on fait maintenant des recherches à Paris ; - 2) que la recommandation de papiers, journaux etc. lesquels ne sont pas inclus dans une lettre mais, comme c’était le cas avec le manuscrit, dans une enveloppe ouverte, ne compte pas en France, mais seulement pour l’Angleterre. - Je ferai remarquer en passant qu’à l’exception du dernier envoi, j’avais toujours envoyé le manuscrit à vous et à M. Roy (et il a reçu le manuscrit de presque tout le volume) sous forme de lettre recommandée (j’ai payé plus de deux livres st. pour cela pour Bordeaux seul), mais trouvant que votre librairie, sans tenir compte de cela, n’a pas même affranchi les 100 exemplaires du premier fascicule, je commençais aussi de lésiner et d’envoyer le manuscrit sous une forme qui coûtait moins cher. Le résultat a prouvé que dans les circonstances actuelles de votre pays il est absolument nécessaire d’envoyer le manuscrit par lettre recommandée. Maintenant je vous envoie la première partie du manuscrit perdu que j’ai retraduit. Même dans le cas que la poste française vous remettait le manuscrit original, il faudra faire imprimer le nouveau manuscrit qui vaut mieux que le premier. N’oubliez pas de me renvoyer le manuscrit avec les épreuves. Au commencement de la semaine prochaine je vous enverrai du manuscrit pour plus d’une livraison […]" ("You know that I sent the manuscript to M. Lahure on October 8. On October 19, I received a letter from M. Lahure announcing that the manuscript had not arrived at his address. Thus began a correspondence between the higher administration of the English mail and me. In a letter from the day before yesterday the secretary general of the postal service tells me - 1) That the manuscript was duly sent to France and that they are now inquiring in Paris; - 2) that the registration of papers, journals etc. that are not included in a letter but, as it was the case with the manuscript, in an open envelope is not permitted in France but only in England. I may remark, by the way, that with the exception of the last shipment, I have always sent the manuscript to you and to M. Roy (and he received the manuscript to almost the entire volume) by way of a registered letter (I paid more than two pounds sterling for that to Bordeaux alone), but finding out that your publishing house, without taking it into account, has not even franked the first 100 copies of the first instalment, I also started to be stingy and to send the manuscript in a cheaper way. The result of which has proven that in the current situation of your country it is absolutely necessary to send the manuscript as a registered letter. Now I send you the first part of the lost manuscript that I have retranslated. Even if the French mail delivers the original to you, it will be necessary to print the new manuscript since it is better than the first one. Do not forget to return the manuscript to me together with the proofs. Beginning of next week I will send you manuscripts for more than one instalment [...]"). - With an inventory note at the top of the page and two minuscule holes from stapling to the bottom.

Marx, Karl, philosopher and economist (1818-1883).
Autograph letter signed. London, 20. III. 1872.
8vo. 1 p. on single leaf. To the publisher Maurice Lachâtre concerning the dedication "To citizen Karl Marx" heading the first French edition of "Das Kapital" published between 1872 and 1875: "Dans le dernier paragraphe rectifié il y a ces mots 'ne se laisseront pas arrêter dans leur lecture par l’exposition de vos méthodes analytiques'. Il y a ici un malentendu. Je n’expose pas ma méthode mais je l’applique dès le commencement, mais son application, dans les premiers chapitres, à l’analyse de la 'marchandise', 'la valeur', 'l’argent' est par la nature de la chose elle-même un peu difficile à suivre. Mais c’est facile de changer 'ne se laisseront pas arrêter dans leur lecture par l’application de votre méthode analytique aux premières notions de l’économie politique qui par leur nature même sont très abstraites' - ou quelque chose comme ça - nous aurions avec cela fini avec les préliminaires. Ma photographie sera faite demain [...]" ("The last revised paragraph reads 'they will not let themselves be stopped from reading by the explication of your analytical methods'. This is a misunderstanding. I do not explain my method but I apply it from the beginning, but its application in the first chapters, analysing the 'commodity', 'value', 'money' is in the nature of things themselves somewhat difficult to follow. But it is easy to change to 'they will not let themselves be stopped from reading by the application of your analytical methods in the first notions of the political economy, which are by their nature very abstract' - or something similar - then we will be finished with the preliminaries. My photograph will be taken tomorrow [...]"). For the final version of the paragraph in question, Lachâtre rephrased Marx's suggestion more elegantly. - With a facsimile of Marx' letter "To citizen Maurice La Châtre", dated London, 18 March 1872, that was included among the preliminaries to the French edition of "Das Kapital" immediately before the editor's letter to Marx. - Slightly creased and buckled in the lower left corner. Not in: Marx/Engels, Werke vol. 33 (Briefe Juli 1870 - Dezember 1874).

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.

Roy, qui s'est marié et est devenu père, se trouve dans une position très difficile. Pour le mettre à même de donner moins de leçons et consacrer plus de temps à la traduction, M. Roy et moi nous sommes convenus de ceci: d'un côté: je recevrai tous les 10 jours 50 pages; (une quarantaine de pages doit y arriver domain); sa traduction sera ainsi terminé vers la fin de Mai. de l'autre côté: il recevra 200 f. à la fin d'Avril et le reste à la fin de Mai. D'après une lettre de M. Roy il n'a pas encore reçu un seul fascicle imprime! Je trouve cela très étrange! Comment voulez vous qu'il ait activé son travail en ne voyant rien apparaître? Encore, ce n'était que par l'étude des fascicles imprimés qu'il avait été amené à changer sa méthode de traduction. Je suppose que vous n'êtes pour rien dans ce procédé pas convenable [...]" ("I have written to M. Vernouillet authorizing him to pay M. Roy 300 f. M. Roy, who has got married and has become a father, is in a difficult situation. In order to enable him to give fewer lectures and spend more time on the translation, M. Roy and I have agreed on this: on the one hand, I will receive 50 pages every 10 days (some forty pages must arrive tomorrow); this way his translation will be finished by the end of May. On the other hand, he will receive 200 f. by the end of April and the remainder by the end of May. According to a letter from M. Roy he has not yet received a single printed fascicle! I find this very strange! How do you expect him to keep up his work without seeing anything that is released? After all, it was only by studying the printed fascicles that he was made to change his method of translation. I suppose you are not involved at all in this unpleasant process [...]").

J'ai ajouté un de mes photographes dont la reproduction dans le 'Capital' est tres mauvaise. L'état de ma santé ne me permet pas encore de travailler que quelques heures de la journée. De là manque de manuscrit pour M. Lahure. Néanmoins, il reçoit aujourd'hui des épreuves qui comprennent déjà une partie de la trente deuxième feuille. Après les avoir renvoyés, il n'y aura donc aucune raison pour ne pas publier fasc. V et VI. J'espère lui pouvoir fournir jusqu'à la fin de la semaine de nouveau manuscrit [...]" ("Enclosed is the biography you asked for. It was written by Longuet [i.e., the journalist Charles Longuet] but he does not need to be mentioned. I have added one of my photos, the reproduction of which in 'Capital' is very poor. My state of health does not allow me to work more than a few hours a day. Hence the lack of a manuscript for M. Lahure. Still, he receives proofs that already include part of leaf 32 today.

2 eigenh. Briefe mit U. Wien, 3. V. und 3. VI. 1876.
Zusammen 2 SS. auf Doppelblättern. 8vo. An einen namentlich nicht genannten Adressaten: "Indem ich die Photographiegruppe des Berliner Herrn Polizeipräsidenten von Madai als Formular für mein Bild übersende, muß letzteres etwas größer seyn, weil mir je 5 Herrn, im Ganzen 10, mithin um 4 mehr, zur Seite stehen werden [...]" (Br. v. 3. V. 1876). - "Ersuche nicht um 10, wie ich gestern dem von Ihnen abgeschickten Herrn sagte, sondern um 15 (fünfzehn) fotografische Bilder unserer Gruppe [...]" (Br. v. 3. VI. 1876). - Marx von Marxberg durchlief eine steile Laufbahn im Polizeidienst und trat 1848 durch Ausforschung der Wiedener Plünderer aus den Oktobertagen und der Mörder von Kriegsminister Theodor Gf. Baillet de Latour hervor. 1873 übernahm er schließlich die Wiener Polizeidirektion und führte als erster den Titel "Präsident". Der unglückselige Brand des Ringtheaters setzte seiner Karriere ein jähes Ende. Kurz nach dem verheerenden Unglück, dem mehrere hundert Besucher zum Opfer fielen, wurde er auf eigenes Ansuchen hin pensioniert.

Mary of Hungary, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and governor of the Habsburg Netherlands (1505-1558).
Letter signed. Brussels, 4 July 1553.
Folio (325 x 295 cm). French manuscript on paper. 1 p. Traces of folds; lacking seal. Letter by Mary of Hungary, sister of Emperors Charles V and Ferdinand, written as governor of the Low Countries to the prior of the Lier Charterhouse (Kartuize Sint Katharina op de Berg Sinai near Antwerp), demanding payment of 3000 guilders in the name of Charles V. At the time, France had joined sides with the German princely opposition against the Emperor; the sum is a part payment of various French friars' assets owned by the monastery but which martial law required to be seized for the ruler: "Religieuses personnes chers et bien amez, ayant entendu que vous avez en vos mains quelques deniers appertenans a aucuns de vostre. Religion Residens en france, Lesquelz par droict de guerre apertiennent a lempereur mon seigneur, Nous vous Requerons et de par sa ma[jes]te ordonnons, que vous vous trouvez Icy apportant avec vous les comptes et deniers procedant du Revenu des biens apertenans auscy [...]". - Addressed on verso to "Religieuses personnes, nos chers et bien amez frers (?) prieur et procurateur des chartreux a lyere".

Autograph letter signed. Bracieux, 16. VII. 1891.
Small 8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. To a fellow writer, informing him that he will receive copies of his recent novel "La Course au bonheur" and asking him to read the book: "Vous recevrez prochainement si vous ne les avez reçus déjà, des exemplaires de mon dérnier roman du figaro, La Course au bonheur. Voudrez vous être assez - je ne dirai pas seulement aimable, mais surtout complaisant pour le parcourir? Il n'est pas long. Ce sera vite fait. Et je vous en serait reconnaissant". - As Mary states, "La Course au bonheur" appeared in "Le Figaro" between 3 and 26 June. The letter probably relates to its publication in book form later that year. - Minimal browning.

Autograph letter signed. Greenwich, 20. VI. 1798.
3 pp. on bifolium. 4to. Extensive letter to Messrs. Loggen & Pearson, Attorneys at Law: "Sir, Inclosed with this letter I send you No. I, II, and III accounts between Mr. Buckton, printer, and the Commissioners of Longitude: the first for cash, and the second & third for paper. The Committee of the Board desire that both the printed sheets and the remaining blank paper of both works may be delivered at Mess. Elmsly & Bremner their booksellers, with all convenient speed; and if the blank paper in hand should not be found adequate to what it should be by the accounts II & III the value of it may be deducted from the ballance due to Mr. Buckton.

He wishes to know whether any assistance by way of advance can be made to him to redeem his materials, which may be secured to the Board till the advance shall have been discharged. He understands these materials have been expressly provided for the works of the Board of Longitude & Board of Ordnance (the latter for printing the Greenwich Observations) and would be so depreciated as to sell but for oldweight, being useless to any one not being by them employed. He wishes for my answer [...]". - Traces of old folds; slight duststaining.
