The original text of Karl Marx

---

The original text of Karl Marx was very much longer, at some 100,000 words, than the Editors of the series for which it was commissioned, the Home University Library, were willing to accept. So Berlin cut it by about 20,000 words. The uncut text survived; this has now been collated with the first edition of the book by Simon Toubeau, and posted on this site, with the excised material distinguished from the material that was retained.

See catalogue of Berlin papers in the Bodleian Library for details of texts held there.
