MARX, Karl (1818-1883)

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

First edition of Marx’s forceful defence of his work and philosophy. Marx paused from writing his magnum opus, Das Kapital, to answer his detractors, chief among them the vituperative Karl Vogt (1817-1895). Vogt, in his Mein Prozess gegen die Allgemeine Zeitung (1859) 'reached for the foulest slanders against Communists', suggesting that 'they engaged in secret and violent conspiracies and that Marx acted among them like a dictator. In this book Marx answers Vogt line for line and charge for charge [...] Marx spares neither wit nor invective in demolishing his opponent’ (Archer, preface to his translation of Herr Vogt, London: 1982).



Octavo (223 x 143mm). (A few tiny spots and minor marginal chips.) Late 19th-century half cloth over marbled paper boards, preserving the original printed wrappers (faintly rubbed, some splitting at upper hinge). Provenance: Carl Grünberg (German-Austrian Marxist philosopher of law and history, 1861-1940; label on front pastedown).
