Comrade Adoratsky,

Could you help me find the following two things:

1) That article (or passage from a pamphlet? or letter?) by Engels where he says, basing himself on the experience of 1648 and 1789, that there appears to be a law requiring a revolution to advance further than it can cope with, in order to consolidate less significant changes?

I seem to recall that this was printed in our foreign Bolshevik newspaper (*Proletary*?) in the period 1908-1912, but I remember it vaguely; 240

2) Engels’ letter to Weydemeyer of April 12, 1853. I would be very grateful for the references.

Yours, Lenin
