On the basis of historical-materialist analysis of the period experienced, clarification of the character of the new historical situation, further development of the tactics of the revolutionary proletarian party.

On the cover, as places of publication, alongside London, where Marx and Engels were located, and Hamburg, where the journal was printed, New York was also indicated, since in connection with the emigration to America of a large number of participants in the German revolution of 1848—1849, Marx and Engels counted on finding there a basis for the distribution of the journal.

In total, six issues of the journal appeared; the last issue (5—6) was a combined one.

V. I. Lenin was familiar with individual issues of the journal while still in Russia. Thus, in the work "Capitalism in Agriculture," written in April—May 1899, there is a reference to the 4th issue of the journal (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 4, p. 129).

In the Munich Library, Lenin became acquainted with the four issues available there and made a record of their contents, published below.

Later, when V. I. Lenin was working on the book "Imperialism, as the Highest Stage of Capitalism," he carefully studied all 6 issues of the journal, made excerpts from them (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 28, pp. 612—616).

2 The article "The June Defeat of 1848" began a series of articles under the general heading "From 1848 to 1849," written specially for the journal "The New Rhenish Gazette. Political-Economic Review" and comprising the well-known work of K. Marx "The Class Struggle in France from 1848 to 1850" (see K. Marx and F. Engels. Works, vol. 7, pp. 5—110). In the second issue of this series was printed the article "June 13, 1849," in the third—"The Consequences of June 13, 1849."

3 The work of F. Engels "The German Campaign for the Imperial Constitution" represents sketches on the history of the Baden-Palatinate uprising of 1849, published in the first three issues of the journal: "1. Rhenish Prussia," "2. Karlsruhe," "3. Palatinate," "4. To Die for the Republic!" (see K. Marx and F. Engels. Works, vol. 7, pp. 111—207).

4 Karl Blind—German journalist, petty-bourgeois democrat, participant in the revolutionary movement in Baden in 1848—1849, in the 50s one of the leaders of German petty-bourgeois emigration in London; later a national-liberal.

5 The overwhelming majority of reviews and critiques published in the journal were written by Marx and Engels (see K. Marx and F. Engels. Works, vol. 7, pp. 208—223, 268—307).

6 Louis Ménard—French democrat.
