Re: [Marxism] Translation history of Das Kapital

[Ralph Johansen <mdriscollrj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the translation of the Kerr edition (1909) credits both Engels and 
Untermann.

FWIW, the later (1956) Foreign Languages Publishing House edition says 
in the Publishers Note:

"The present English edition follows the German 1893 edition.... 
"Extensive use has been made of the second volume of Capital published 
by Charles H. Kerr and Co.... based on the second edition."

A friend of mine is working on a bibliography

Among the works read by Gandhi
was the English translation of
Das Kapital by Samuel Moore
and Edward Aveling. It is my
understanding that Moore & Aveling
only translated volume I, and that
volumes II and III were only
first translated into English later
on by Ernest Untermann
for an American edition that was published
by Charles H. Kerr & Co. of Chicago.
Is that correct, or am I in error on that point?

Thanks in advance.
