In one of your leading articles of to-day* you quote a string of 
phrases, such as, “London, Liverpool, and Manchester in revolt 
against odious capital,” etc., with the authorship of which you are 
kind enough to credit me. 

Permit me to state that the whole of the quotations” upon which 
you base your article are forgeries from beginning to end. You 
have probably been misled by some of the fabrications which the 
Paris police are in the habit of issuing almost daily in my name, in 
order to procure evidence against the captive “Internationals” at 
Versailles. 


I am, Sir, yours, etc., 
Karl Marx
