Capital, Volume II
Preface to the Second Edition (1893)
41 s
Section summary
A short note to the second German edition: the text is reprinted with minor corrections, and Volume III, which has given Engels unforeseen trouble, should be ready soon.
1
The present second edition is, in the main, a faithful reprint of the first. Typographical errors have been corrected, a few inconsistencies of style eliminated, and a few short passages containing repetitions struck out.
2
The third volume, which presented quite unforeseen difficulties, is likewise almost ready for the printer. If my health holds out, it will be ready for the press this fall.
