Karl Marx

[Declaration to the Editors of the Newspapers “Freischütz” and “Reform”]

[“Die Reform” No. 29, March 7, 1860]

Submitted!

In response to the outpourings of Herr
Eduard Meyen
in “Freischütz” Nos. 17 to 21, only this much: The libel action I am bringing against the Berlin “National-Zeitung” will fully suffice for the
judicial
elucidation of Vogt’s pamphlet. His affiliate Eduard Meyen cannot lay claim to a similar honour. All I can do for Eduard Meyen is to assign Herr Eduard Meyen a niche corresponding to his dimensions in the brochure that will appear after the court proceedings.
