Letter from Karl Heinrich Marx of 7 Modena Villas, Maitland Park, Haverstock Hill, London to J M Ludlow, Esq, 10 Apr 1869. Controverting Ludlow's article in the Fortnightly Review: 'You say first that Lassalle propogated my principles in Germany and say then that I am propagating "Lassallian principles" in England. ... Lassalle has taken from my writings almost literally all his general theoretical developments ... I have nothing whatever to do with his practical applications.'

Letter from Karl Heinrich Marx of London to Maurice Lachâtre, 18 Mar 1872. Approving of the 'idée de publier la traduction de das Kapital en livraisons périodiques', but thinks that 'le public français, toujours impatient de conclure' will not continue to buy the parts because of the difficulties encountered in the introductory chapters. The letter ends: 'Il n'y a pas de route royale pour la science et ceux là seuls ont chance d'arriver à ses sommets lumineux qui ne craignent pas de se fatiguer à gravir ses sentiers escarpés.'
