Description
Excerpt from Wage-Labor and Capital
The first, entitled wage-labor and Capital, was trans lated for us by Dr. Harriet E. Lothrop, of Boston, from the standard German edition prepared by Engels in 1891. This is the only complete English edition of it that has yet appeared, and its accuracy was doubly se cured by a critical comparison of its every sentence with the German text, made at the request of the translator by Herman Simpson, of New York, who also added foot notes wherever comment seemed needful. In the perform ance of their respective task, both kept in mind the all important consideration, that in the works of Marx, as in all works, truly scientific, the exact expression is an essential factor and should not, therefore, be sacrificed to literary style in its transfer from one language to another.
