First Stereotype edition, third appearance in English overall; 8vo (23 x 15 cm); ownership inscription in pen to front free endpaper recto, old residue to front pastedown, a little toned; publisher's blind-stamped maroon cloth, lettered in gilt to spine within single gilt filet border, small puncture hole, slightly soiled and discoloured, spine ends neatly repaired, very good; xxxi, [1], 816pp. Although designated 'Stereotype Edition' on the title page, the setting is in fact identical to the first American edition printed the same year with the dual imprint 'New York: Appleton & Co. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co.' The ownership inscription to the front free endpaper is dated '5/11/88' suggesting this edition with the sole London imprint was brought to the press towards the end of 1888, the publication date being for-dated to the following year. We can trace no interim publication between this edition and the first English edition which was brought to the press in 1896, and reprinted the following year. Das Kapital was the summation of over twenty-years of research in the reading rooms of the British Museum, and followed on from his earlier work on political economy Zur Kritik der Politisches Oekonomie, printed in 1859. Only the first volume, A critical analysis of capitalist production, was complete at the time of Marx's death in 1883, with this translation by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling published in London 4 years later. The second and third volumes of Marx's work were published posthumously in 1885 and 1894, but not translated into English until Kerr's edition was printed in 1906 to 1909. Despite the German edition volume two being available in 1885, Engels, in his preface to this translation, explained that he deliberately held off including it in this edition as he felt any translation of the second volume would be incomplete without the translation of the third, which had not yet be published. 'Aveling was the husband of Marx's youngest daughter, Eleanor, and Moore an old friend, an unwilling businessman (like Engels), who later turned to the law and ended as a magistrate in Nigeria.' (PMM). 'The history of the twentieth century is Marx's legacy. Stalin, Mao, Che, Castro - the icons and monsters of the modern age have all presented themselves as his heirs. Whether he would recognise them as such is quite another matter [.] Nevertheless, writing one hundred years after his death half the world's population was ruled by governments that professed Marxism to be their guiding faith. His ideas have transformed the study of economics, history, geography, sociology and literature. Not since Jesus Christ has an obscure pauper inspired such global devotion - or been so calamitously misinterpreted' (Francis Wheen, in his Introduction to Karl Marx, 1999). Scarce. OCLC records just 4 copies of this edition in institutional collections worldwide (Trinity College, Cambridge, University of Southern California, Newberry Library, Illinois, and University of Hong Kong).

Publisher's dark olive cloth with gilt titles to spine, ruled to crown and tail in gilt, blind ruling to top and bottom edges of upper cover, publisher's tan foliate/monogrammed patterned endpapers. Contents clean without signs of ownership. Some light spotting within, inside paper joint lightly cracked at front, covers with a few minor marks and a little rubbing/wear to spine ends. A near fine copy. A foundational theoretical text in materialist philosophy, and one of the most influential works in modern political and economic thought. This is the fifth British edition (January 1896), reprinting the text of the first, which was issued in two volumes in 1886. This edition is also the final British printing of the nineteenth century and is desirable thus.

Original stapled paper wrappers, with photographic portrait of Marx to front cover; pp. 20; uniform browning, central crease from folding, extremities a little rubbed, overall very good; 'H Cottrell 25 Church Street, Edmonton' in ink to front wrapper.First stereotyped edition of Das Kapital (vol. I), apparently the second edition of Karl Marx to be published in English and the first to be issued in a single volume, with a copy of the 1907 penny pamphlet A Summary of Marx's "Capital".Samuel Moore (1838-1911), a lawyer and translator active in the Manchester branch of the First International, was commissioned by Friedrich Engels to prepare an English translation of Das Kapital shortly after Marx's death in 1883. A close friend of both Marx and Engels, Moore had studied the work in depth since the publication of volume I in 1867 (volumes II and III followed posthumously in 1885 and 1894, respectively).In 1884 Moore was joined by Edward Aveling (1849-1898) - who in the same year began his relationship with Marx's daughter, Eleanor - and their translation was published with Engels' full approval by Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey, & Co. in January 1887. The edition comprised five hundred copies - including two hundred for the American market - and was issued in two volumes. Based on the original German text, the translation also incorporates the substantial revisions Marx made for the French edition, published in forty-four instalments between September 1872 and November 1875.This stereotyped issue (printed from metal plates, called stereotypes, rather than composed movable type) constitutes the second UK edition of Das Kapital. It reproduces the text of the 1887 two-volume first English edition but is issued here for the first time in a single volume. The book was also distributed in the United States by D. Appleton & Co. of New York, whose name appears as co-publisher on the title-page of American copies. When bearing this imprint, the edition is regarded as the first US edition.Provenance: From the library of Henry Cottrell, co-proprietor of Cottrell & Drew, Hat Materials Merchants in Luton. Evidently a Marxist, Cottrell presented this copy of Marx, together with a second edition of A. P. Hazell's summary, to his friend Dale and to Dale's son in 1946: 'Dear Dale, Your son has written asking [.] if I can lend him Marx's Capital (which his father failed to read) - same is enclosed - sorry I haven't the later volumes. Why not train your son to be a reasonable citizen - let his literary food be the Manchester Guardian Weekly & make it yours as well. Hope you are all well. Yours Cott.'See PMM 359 for the first German edition.
