Jacket marked and worn with losses partially reinforced on the verso the book itself very good. A reissue of the first rendering into English of volume I of Marx's seminal work from 1887. The first of what subsequently became a three volume work 'Das Kapital'was originally published in Germany in 1867 with a second edition in 1872-73 revised by Marx himself and a third edition edited by Marx's long-term friend and collaborator Frederick Engels. An initial Russian translation was issued in 1872 and a French translation appeared in instalments between 1872 and 1875. Marx was unable to complete the remaining volumes of the work before his death in 1883 but Engels was able to collate and edit his manuscripts to oversee their publication in 1885 and 1894. Samuel Moore was well connected in British socialist circles he also translated under Engels' editorship the first English version of the 'Manifesto of the Communist Party' in 1888. Moore was ably assisted by Edward Aveling the partner of Eleanor Marx - the youngest daughter of the author who was enlisted to check the quotations used in the work. This reissue benefits from the supplement outlined above as well as "for the first time. a complete List of Authorities based on that prepared by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute of Moscow". The publisher's blurb to the front flap of the jacket proudly extols: "Here at last we have a satisfactory version at least of Volume I of Marx's Capital London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd unknown

Entire volume: IV 600 pp. Housed in a cloth clamshell box with gilt lettering to spine. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly rare first British translation of any part of ‘Das Kapital’ and the first English translation of any part of the work to be published in Britain. When Karl Marx was finalizing the first volume of “Das Kapital†he was already planning an English translation; British socialism was dominated by trade unionism and Marx wanted to propagate his ideas among the British working class. It would take 16 years however before the present translation was published and a full 20 years before the first full translation of the first volume of Das Kapital was published. The present work is of the utmost scarcity and we have not beeen able to find a single auction record of it. Marx' research for ‘Das Kapital’ was in large part carried out in the reading room of the British Library and the British working class during the industrial revolution in the late 18th century and early 19th century was highly important to Marx' class analysis. Consequently Marx was eager to have an English translation published and for years Marx and Engels tried to find an English translator and an editor for “Das Kapitalâ€. While several unauthorized translations were planned and even begun nothing came of it in Marx’s lifetime. The present book is the first volume of a journal edited by Ernest Belfort Bax & James Leigh Joynes which specialized in the publication of free-thinking and radical works. It was published from 1883 to 1889 and To-Day's guiding principle was to 'shake itself free from all fetters save those of truth and taste'. Its political stance is indeed bold and not entirely unfitting for a first translation of ‘Das Kapital’: 'the equal rights of every human being to health wealth wisdom and happiness shall be our watchword'. Two sections of ´Das Kapital´ namely: I. The Serfdom of Work; II. The Lordship of Wealth. According to the heading the second installment is being translated from the French edition of 1872 but a footnote states: “this chapter is translated from the second and third sections of chapter X of the original". The first complete English book edition appeared in 1887 under the title Capital: A Critical Analysis of Capitalist Production. It was translated by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling the partner of Karl Marx's daughter Eleanor overseen by Engels. </em> hardcover

190688451Chicago Ill: Charles H. Kerr & Co. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co. 1906 1907 1909. First Editions First Printings. Three Volumes. Octavo. 22.5cm. Publisher's deep maroon ribbed cloth titled in gilt to spines and ruled in blind to boards. 869pp.; 618pp.; 1048pp. Generally strong and tight; mild scuffing and to spine ends and corners and a few minor exterior stains. Spine gilt is significantly oxidized to Vol II as is usually seen on the first printing; internally clean and fresh some very light spotting in places mainly confined to the page edges. A very good handsome set of first printings. <br /> <br /> A full set of first printings of this bibliographically complex edition issued over the course of three years. Marx published the first volume of his epic analysis of capitalism in German in 1867. The first translation into English was of Volume 1 only and was accomplished by Edward Aveling and Samuel Moore in 1887 based on the revised 4th German edition as edited by Engels. The 1906 first American printing under the Charles Kerr impint as here largely follows this translation with the subsequent translation work for Volumes II and III being performed by Ernest Untermann. Thus the earliest printings of the Kerr edition comprise the first complete edition of Capital in the English language. The printing was done in Chicago by James Higgins Kerr's printer of choice making this also the first complete edition of Capital to be printed entirely by a union-run print shop. Untermann did most of his translation work from remote Florida beginning the effort in 1905 discovering in the process a number of indices footnotes and at least ten pages of text that Aveling and Moore had not included in their London edition - making the Kerr edition the most complete up to its time. <br /> <br /> Kerr burned through the first two-thousand copy print run of Volume I almost immediately and rushed to get Volume II out by July 1907. It's very possible that financial constraints were already making themselves known by Volume II as Kerr was selling the books at a loss to encourage sales; the almost ubiquitous oxidation of the gilt on Vol II is likely a result of experimental economy that swiftly failed. Vol III returns to the higher standards of the first volume. The bindings on the first printings also feature a triple blind rule to the ribbed cloth boards with subsequent printings having double rules. Kerr's reprint system seems to have incorporated dates on the title pages for some length of time with the dates on the copyright pages remaining unchanged; after a certain point around the early 1920's reprints were issued without dates to the title pages and any volume without a date can safely be deemed a post-1920s reprint. Issues of Kerr's International Socialist Review from the period of printing recount in detail some of his problems and concerns publishing and selling the work with detailed data on dates numbers of copies and the firm's hopes for the completed book. <br /> <br /> Genuine first printing sets of this important edition are tremendously scarce in commerce. The lack of any real bibliographical authority for the American edition combined with Kerr's generally lax approach to differentiating printings has over the years led to frequent errors and misjudgments on the part of cataloguers including in full disclosure ourselves. After a good deal of research most in the advertising pages of the International Socialist Review we're confident we've finally got it right. Charles H. Kerr & Co.

189059553New York: Humboldt Publishing Co N.d. 1890. First Humboldt Edition. First printing. Presumed later issue with ads undated but listing up to nos. 142-143 of the "Humboldt Library of Science" Wollstonecraft Vindication of the Rights of Woman issued in 1890. Octavo 24cm. Publisher's red cloth titled in gilt on spine with designs stamped in black on front cover in blind on rear cover; floral endpapers; xviii1-506pp;44pp ads. Bookplate to front pastedown of Jefferson D. Stewart Louisville Kentucky banker and financier whose pencil ownership signature dated 1895 also appears on the title page. An exceptional copy in the publisher's cloth binding minutely rubbed at joints and board corners; floral endpapers so prone to splitting at the hinges are fully intact and the text is fresh bright and unmarked. Very close to a fine copy and easily the best we have handled.<br /> <br /> The early publication history of this first volume of Marx's Capital in America is bibliographically complex at times stubbornly ambiguous and not seldom misrepresented. The earliest copies to appear for sale in America were imported sheets of the Swan Sonnenschein London edition of 1887 bound and distributed in America through two New York agents in one case identified on the pastedowns Julius Bordello in another Scribner & Welfored on a tipped-in slip see Philip Foner "Marx's 'Capital' in the United States" Science & Society Fall 1967. In 1889 Sonnenschein produced a stereotyped edition which was distributed in America through yet a third agent D. Appleton whose name appeared as co-publisher on the title page making this the first edition to carry any textual indication of an American publisher. Any of these three editions have some claim to being called the "First American Edition" notwithstanding the fact that none were printed in America. <br /> <br /> Beginning in January of 1890 Humboldt Publishing Co. a small New York radical publisher issued what it claimed to be "the only American edition - carefully Revised" of Capital. This was in fact an unauthorized reprinting of the Moore - Aveling translation issued without the permission of Marx's family the translators or the European publishers. To save on distribution costs Humboldt resorted to a standard 19th-century publishing ploy and issued the work as a four-part serial nos. 135-138 in its "Humboldt Library of Science" series at the time periodicals were subject to much lower postal rates than bound books. Around the same time - priority has never to our knowledge been established - Humboldt issued some of its printed sheets of Capital in the one-volume cloth edition we have here. This may be properly described as the first book edition of Capital to be printed in the United States. <br /> <br /> Unsurprisingly given the somewhat haphazard nature of 19th-century radical publishing some ambiguities remain. First it is clear from the dates of catalogued copies that Humboldt issued Capital at least twice in serial format - copies exist of issues 135-138 dated January to April 1890; other copies numbered identically exist dated October 1 to October 15 1890 see "Karl Marx Capital First American Editions" online resource . Second based on inspection of copies in our hands and other catalogued copies in commerce we note that the clothbound issue appeared with at least three different states of publisher's advertisements following the text - some with ads dated 1889 presumably the earliest issue; others as with our copy with undated ads but datable from contents to mid-to-late 1890; others with no ads at all. We suspect but cannot prove that the first two issues of the cloth edition correspond with the two known serial issues the first in January the second in October of 1890. Copies without ads were likely issued later to use up remaining sheets.<br /> <br /> Finally there is a question not previously commented upon in any of the scholarship we have consulted regarding Humboldt's claim that this "only American edition" was "carefully Revised." Some previous cataloguers have suggested that the Humboldt edition was a literal reprint of the Sonnenschein stereotype edition of 1889. But this makes little sense; Humboldt could not conceivably have had access to Sonnenschein's stereotype plates and besides the format and pagination of the two editions are entirely dissimilar. Was Moore & Aveling's translation in fact edited for American readers and if so to what degree This cataloguer has now spent sufficient time in a side-by-side comparison of the Humboldt and Sonnenschein via Hathi Trust editions to reach a preliminary conclusion that the only "revisions" consist in the alteration of British spellings to their American equivalents throughout the text e.g. "labor" for "labour"; "characterize" for "characterise" etc. No alterations to the substance of Moore and Aveling's translation appear to our eyes - though to be sure this is a lengthy work and we have performed only a random sampling of the text; an exhaustive comparison of the texts has never to our knowledge been carried out and this would seem to be a fruitful subject for research. <br /> <br /> 1.
