The following work appeared as a series of leading articles in 
the Neue Rheinische Zeitung from April 4, 1849 onwards. It is 
based on the lectures delivered by Marx in 1847 at the German 
Workers’ Society in Brussels.“ The work as printed remained a 
fragment; the words at the end of No. 269: “To be continued,” 
remained unfulfilled in consequence of the events which just then 
came crowding one after another: the invasion of Hungary by the 
Russians, the insurrections in Dresden, Iserlohn, Elberfeld, the 
Palatinate and Baden, which led to the suppression of the 
newspaper itself (May 19, 1849).
