Weitling, Wilhelm.MareMagnum

Garantien der Harmonie und Freiheit. Vivis (Vevey), (L. Alex. Michod) for the author, 1842.

8vo. XII, (2), 264 pp. Contemporary moirée cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Preserved in a modern slipcase. First edition. - The principal work of Wilhelm Weitling, who counts (together with Moses Hess) as one of the earliest communist agitators in Germany and its first leader of proletarian birth. The book has been identified as the catechism of German socialist workers before Marx and was praised by the latter as the "incomparable and brilliant début of the German working man". Weitling preached a Christian utopian socialism, by his own testimony derived from the New Testament and fashioned after the ideas of Fourier and Cabet. In his view, private property was unproblematic in a world with an abundance of unoccupied land, but in modern society individual property had become an injustice and the cause of misery to the people. Individual property therefore should be replaced by collective ownership, and though he hoped for a peaceful transition, Weitling foresaw that revolutionary violence might be inevitable. - Weitling was the illegitimate son of a French father and a German maidservant. He was apprenticed as a tailor in his native Magdeburg before travelling through Germany and settling in Paris in the 1830s. There he became acquainted with French socialist agitation and joined the revolutionary "Bund der Gerechten" (League of the Just). He moved to Switzerland in 1841 but was soon imprisoned and expelled, and spent the rest of his untiring life in Germany, England and America, where he continued his communist agitation among German immigrants in New York and founded the failed "Communia" colony in Wisconsin. Weitling exposed his ideas in three important works: his first printed publication, "Die Menschheit, wie sie ist und sein soll" (a brief pamphlet published in Paris in 1838), the present book, and "Das Evangelium eines armen Sünders" in 1845. The present work is considered the most complete exposition of his socialist thoughts and plans. It was issued privately in Vevey near Lausanne, and the publication (by the local printer Michod) was financed by funds collected from German comrades in France and Switzerland. A second edition appeared at Vevey in 1845, and a third in Hamburg in 1849. - Faint traces of a bookplate removed from the pastedown; minimal wear to lower corners. A very attractive copy, clean and without any browning. Stammhammer I, 261. Quack IV, 312-328. Not in Kress, Goldsmiths' or Einaudi.

Stalin, Josef (Dzhugashvili).MareMagnum

Sbornik statei po natsionalnomu voprosu [The Collection of Essays on the National Question]. Tiflis, Izd-vo Zakkraikoma RKP, 1922.

8vo. (4), 127, (1) pp. Original printed wrappers. The first edition of Stalin's second book; extremely rare. It is widely known that Stalin's role in the party during pre-Revolutionary times was mostly practical: assigned to supply money for the cause by way of expropriations, he became a well-known figure around 1905, and later, during the Civil War, a commander of the Red Army and a party leader. Very little was known of Stalin's political views before Lenin's death in 1924. While Stalin was always regarded as the loyal executor, unlike all other key Bolshevist figures he had not published any significant works - merely occasional articles in which he did not give away a clear position. Stalin became the People's Commissar for the nationalities in 1917 when the position was created. The committee survived until 1924, when the USSR was formed. The present book should be regarded as a collection of his essays on the subject of the national question. One of the principal ideas here advanced by Stalin was that the marginal areas of the Russian Empire should not be separated. He argues that all nations should join in the fight for the world revolution while the colonies of the British Empire ought to be liberated. On this point he contradicts Lenin, who at that time was prepared to grant sovereignty to some nations such as Finland. It is worth noting the author's name on the title page: Stalin used various worknames within and outside the party, largely due to the illicit nature of his pre-revolutionary activity (research has found him to have used nearly 30 party bynames at the time). In this brochure his name is given as "Stalin (Koba-Dzhugashvili)", citing his two most popular worknames and his real Georgian surname which he would not use in later years, and no more books appeared under it. At the time, Stalin was already vying for the party leadership with Trotsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev and others, and he may have felt it necessary to declare himself. - Slight paper loss to title page, meticulously restored with matching paper, with part of a single letter nearly imperceptibly supplied. Otherwise fine. Mostly uncut, untrimmed copy as issued.

Marx, Karl.MareMagnum

Herr Vogt. London, A. Petsch & Co., 1860.

8vo. VI, (2), 191, (1) pp. Contemporary half cloth with marbled boards and ms. spine label; upper cover of the original printed wrappers bound within. In custom-made slip case. First edition of Marx's longest polemical work, which he took the best part of a year away from the writing of "Das Kapital" to complete. Levelled at the polical writer and democrat of 1848, Karl Vogt (1817-95), the book is an answer to the slanders against himself, Engels and their supporters which had appeared in Vogt's 1859 pamphlet, "Mein Prozess gegen die Allgemeine Zeitung". A former member of the German pre-parliament, Vogt had become professor of geology in Geneva in 1852. When in June 1859 the "Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung" circulated the rumour that he was a paid agent of Napoleon III, Vogt suspected, not without justification, that Marx's circle was behind the report. Vogt sued the paper for libel, and the suit was tried at the Augsburg district court on 24 October 1859. No proof of the accusation was produced, and the charge was ultimately dismissed on technical grounds. Vogt exploited his moral victory by publishing the shorthand report of the court proceedings, bolstered with copious documents, so as to expose the communists as traitors and conspirators. Although Marx was already weary of the affair, he picked up the gauntlet: in this rebuttal of nearly two hundred pages, he answered "Vogt line for line and charge for charge [...] Marx spares neither wit nor invective in demolishing his opponent" (R. A. Archer, in the preface to his 1982 English translation). A fine example of Marx's talent for merciless satire as well as of his often prolix attention to detail, the book had little or no public effect: even when in 1871 the Paris Commune raided the government archives and produced proof that Vogt indeed had been in the pay of the Bonapartists, Marx's vindication escaped general notice. "An important historical document, and a classic example of irreconcilable political controversy" (cf. Sauer & Auvermann V, 2340). - A good, largely unbrowned, unstained copy preserving the original wrapper cover. Contemporary blue library stamp (Rehdiger-Stadtbibliothek in Breslau) on reverse of title page. Marx-Engels Erstdrucke 26. Stammhammer I, 145, 22. Draper ST/M 51. Rubel 567.

[Revolutionary almanac].MareMagnum

Istoriko-revoliutsionnyi al'manakh izdatel'stva "Shipovnik." Pod obshchei redaktsiei V. L. Burtseva [Historical revolutionary almanac of the publisher "Shipovnik", edited by V. L. Burtsev]. St. Petersburg, Izdatel'stvo "Shipovnik"; tip. "Delo", [1907].

382, XXVIII pp. Twelve leaves of illustrations. Contemporary quarter calf with gilt title to spine (original wrappers not preserved). 8vo. A rare publication commemorating key milestones and figures of the Russian revolutionary movement. The print run was largely confiscated and destroyed by the Tsarist police, leaving only the few copies which had already been distributed. The reason is quite clear: aside from events such as the zemstvo reform of 1864 and the founding of the State Duma, the almanac also lists the dates of major terrorist attacks, assassinations, as well as mass uprisings, in addition to the publishing dates of important revolutionary journals, and the decisive trials or executions of early revolutionary martyrs. These are arranged in order, from January 1 through December 31, and range from the early 19th century through 1906. Many of the entries are by noted writers and activists, such as the expressionist Leonid Andreev, the realist Aleksandr Kuprin, or the future critic and Soviet cultural commissar Anatoly Lunacharsky. The book reproduces photographs of many relatively little-known terrorists, and is especially noteworthy for the lovingly executed calendar leaf illustrations for each month, which were executed in black and red by such noted artists as Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, Boris Anisfel'd, Ivan Bilibin, Boris Kustodiev, Eugene Lanceray, and Zinovii Grzhebin. The book was reprinted in 1917 as "Kalendar' russkoi revoliutsii" and appears equally uncommon as such. The Bernstein-Souvarine catalog lists only the 1917 re-edition (no. 131), but not this first edition. KVK and OCLC locate copies at Berkeley, Cambridge, Chicago, Hoover, Library of Congress, Madison-Wisconsin, Syracuse, as well as the German State Libraries in Berlin and Munich. - Binding gently rubbed; a few pages lightly finger-soiled; private bookplate; about very good.

[Revolutionary Samizdat of 1880s - Schäffle, Albert Eberhard Friedrich.MareMagnum

Sushchnosti sotsializma d-ra A. Sheffle (i.e., The Quintessence of Socialism.) N. p., 1880s].

[92 pp.] 175:113 mm. Handwritten brochure, quires (sections) sewn together. Paper with watermarks (Uglich manufacture #6), ink. Foxing, quires are separated from each other, a tear and soiling of the last page. The text of the brochure is translated from the eighth edition (Gotha: F. A. Perthes, 1885) as it stated on the first page. The brochure contains nine chapters. Every leaf is numbered starting from the first chapter (44 numbered pages). With introduction to the first and the second editions. This manuscript book was created by Russian underground Marxists as they tried to spread their ideas. This kind of books were banned in the country at the time and a person cought distributing them would had faced arrest. This is an interesting historical evidence of the most revolutionary time in Russian history. The Quintessence of Socialism by a German economist Albert Schäffle (1831-1903) was mostly interpreted as an unbiased presentation of socialism but outside of Germany it was used as a basic introduction to socialism. It was a strictly scientific yet popular and easy to understand account of socialism. Among other things the author analyzes socialist idea of the public organization of production and the role of collective property in the process of production and sharing. It's not surprising that the book attracted a lot of attention of Social Democrats because Schäffle based a lot of his brief exposition of socialist economics on the theories of Marx. He concentrated solely upon economic theory and inadvertently emasculated Marxism of its political and truly revolutionary implications. Marx responded negatively to Schäffle's work claiming he had never built a socialist system in his works and called Schäffle's views on socialism fantasies but these fantasies became very popular among certain groups of revolutionaries including Narodnaya Volya in Russia. Schäffle's book was widely read by interested Social Democrats cannot be doubted, for it was admirably brief, clearly written, and easily available. Obviuosly the Social Democrats could not accept Schäffle without some modifications. Nevertheless, some of them imbibed a sufficient dosage to set up a tension within the movement between the traditional democratic-political principles and what they took to be their socialist-economic principles as defined by Schäffle. For example, a member of Land and Liberty group (Zemlya i Volya) Osip Aptekman wrote in his memoirs: ''[...] Marx's Zur Kritik and The Quintessence of Socialism by Schäffle were going the rounds. Plekhanov importuned me to scrutinize these two books. I constantly read it outloud and translated while Plekhanov was catching it on the fly and capturing it in his memory'' (Aptekman, O. Obshchestvo Zemlya i Volya of 1870s). First Russian translation was published in Geneva in 1881 (from the 7th German edition). In 1906 were published first Russian editions in Odessa and St. Petersburg.

Marx, Karl.MareMagnum

Il Capitale. Critica dell' economia politica. Turin, Unione Tipografico-Editrice, 1886.

Large 8vo. 685, (1) pp. In: "Biblioteca dell'Economista", Third Series, vol. 9, pt. 2. [Entire volume: (4), 903, (1) pp.]. Bound in later half calf with gilt spine and marbled covers. First Italian translation of Marx's landmark work, constituting what is arguably the greatest revolutionary work of the 19th century. Originally published in German in 1867, it was only this first part that appeared during Marx's lifetime. In Italy the book proved immensely influential in both communist and fascist circles: Antonio Gramsci, founding member and sometime leader of the Communist Party of Italy (PCI), based much of his theoretical and practical work on the present translation of "Das Kapital", while Ezra Pound read this Italian translation (which is among the most heavily annotated volumes in his personal library), and his horror at Marx's accounts of the exploitation of labour eventually developed into sympathy for fascism, based on Mussolini's socialist roots (cf. L. Rainey, A Poem Containing History: Textual Studies in The Cantos [1997], p. 125). - The translation was prepared in nine instalments, beginning in 1882, but was not published until 1886. Oddly, it remained relatively unknown: "It was difficult in Italy during that period to obtain Marx's works. With the exception of Cafiero's hard-to-find summary and some other summarizing pamphlets published by another Southern scholar, Pasquale Martiguetti of Benevento, those Italians who sought to consult Marx were forced (unless they could read the original German) to have recourse to the French translation of the first volume of 'Capital', published in 1875. Still, in 1887 Filippo Turati could complain that Marx's and Engels's writings either were defective or else unavailable in Italian versions. True, in 1886 Boccardo had published in the 'Biblioteca dell'Economista', an Italian translation of 'Capital', but this was inaccessible to those of modest means" (P. Piccone, Italian Marxism [1983], p. 65, translating from R. Michels, Storia Critica del Movimento Socialista Italiano [1921], p. 135). - Evenly browned throughout with very occasional minor brown spots, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. Andréas 154. Einaudi (not numbered, between no. 3769 and 3770). Cf. Mattioli 2287 (a 1916 reprint). Rubel 633. Marx-Engels Erstdrucke 32f. PMM 359.

Augustissimorum imperatorum, serenissimorum regum, atque archiducum, illustrissimorum principum, necnon comitum, baronum, nobilium [...] gestarum succinctae descriptiones. Innsbruck, Johann Agricola (Hans Paur), 1601.

Folio (340 x 488 mm). (6), (124 instead of 125) ff. (= printed title within woodcut border; engraved portrait of Ferdinand II of Tyrol, Archduke of Austria; 3 ff. of preface; dedication to Emperor Rudolf II; 124 engraved portraits by Domenicus Custos after Giovanni Fontana with letterpress text on the verso within woodcut borders). Later marbled calf, spine gilt in compartments. Edges goffered and gilt. First edition; much rarer than the second, German edition, which appeared in 1603. Ostensibly a series of portraits of military nobles from the 15th and 16th centuries from all across Europe (including the Muslim statesmen Sultan Soliman and Sokollu Mehmed Pasha), this is in fact a magnificent catalogue of the collection of arms and armour owned by Archduke Ferdinand (1529-95) at Schloss Ambras near Innsbruck, which had been collected by previous generations of Habsburg rulers and greatly expanded by Ferdinand with the help of his secretary, Schrenck von Notzing, who edited the work at the commission of his lord. It is considered the world's first illustrated museum catalogue, most notable for the representation of the military costumes of some of the protagonists. - All portraits are engraved within splendid, richly decorated architectural borders; even the biographical text is enclosed within a four-part woodcut border. - Binding slightly rubbed in places. A few edge tears repaired throughout; wants the portrait of Hildebrand de Madrutsch. Includes the printed dedication leaf to Emperor Rudolf II, not cited by Colas or Lipperheide. Provenance: monastery of Weingarten, near Regensburg (dissolved in 1803), ink inscription on title-page dated 1659; stamp of the Königliche Handbibliothek (royal library) in Stuttgart of Wilhelm I of Württemberg. Latterly in the collection of Thomas Fremantle, 3rd Baron Cottesloe (1862-1956), commander of the Territorial Army and president of the Society for Army History Research. Cockle 928.

[Lenin (Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) et al.].MareMagnum

Kapitalisticheskii mir i Kommunisticheskii Internatsional. Manifest II-go Kongressa Kommunisticheskogo (III-go) Internatsionala. Petrograd, Izd-vo Kommunisticheskogo Internatsionala, (August) 1920.

8vo. 56 pp. Original wrappers, printed red. First original edition of the conference publication, "The Capitalist World and the Communist International - Manifesto of the 2nd Congress of the 3rd Communist International". Two years after the end of the First World War, and only one after the Comintern had been founded, the Second Congress of the Communist International, representing thirty-five countries, met at Petrograd (St. Petersburg, soon to be renamed Leningrad) on 17 July 1920, continuing its sessions in Moscow to August 7. "Its purpose was to form a clear idea regarding the international situation, to cast a retrospective glance over the road already traveled, and to establish the milestone of further struggle. The World Congress of the Communist International unanimously addresses this manifesto to the workingmen and women of the whole world with the profound conviction that its aims are just and its methods correct" (preface to the American edition, published the same year). Owing to the ad-hoc nature of the 1919 founding convention, the 1920 Second World Congress of the Comintern has been regarded as the first authentic international meeting of the new organization's members and supporters. The gathering is also significant for the participation of Lenin, who took a more active part than any other member, preparing a host of key documents and actively helping to chart the course of the conference. The list of signatories at the end, from 33 countries, is headed by the Russians Lenin, Zinoviev, Bukharin, and Trotsky. The American delegation includes John Reed, author of "Ten Days that Shook the World", only months from his death. The English delegation includes Sylvia Pankhurst, the daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst and like her a prominent suffragist (though, unlike her, a communist). The signing Chinese delegate was Lao Hsiu-chao, who was born in China in 1892 but lived in Russia from age five. "[A]fter the Chinese communist victory in 1949 he held various diplomatic posts in the new regime. In 1954 he was a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and in the early 1960s was adviser to the judicial section of the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs" (Lazitch/D., Biographical Dictionary of the Comintern [1973], p. 211). - Browned throughout, with some waterstaining to margins. Still a good copy of a rare work. OCLC 45500838.
