Dear Frederic, 

I shall be sending you today, at the same time as this, a few 
copies of the ‘Knight’* and three copies of the 2nd edition of the 
Polish rubbish,*” which I have corrected. Give one copy of each to 
Lupus and Dronke. It was stupid of me not to have corrected the 
printing errors (Weydemeyer also contributes his fair share) in the 
Syrian Palmerston thing? before sending it to you. 

I had a meeting with Urquhart.“ He surprised me with the 
compliment that the articles‘ read as though written by a “Turk’, 

a K. Marx, ‘The Knight of the Noble Consciousness’. - > K. Marx, ‘Lord Palmerston’, Fourth Article in The People’s Paper. - © K. Marx, ‘Lord Palmerston’. 

an opinion in which he was in no way confirmed when I told him 
that I was a ‘revolutionist’. He is an utter maniac. Is firmly 
convinced THAT HE WILL ONE DAY BE Premier Of England. When everyone 
else is downtrodden, England will come to him and say: Save us, 
Urquhart! Anp THEN HE wit save HER. While speaking, particularly if 
contradicted, he goes into rirs which I find all the more comical as 
I know by heart his every platitude and quotation. This made me 
regard his ‘ris’ as even somewhat suspect and rather as a theatrical 
Exhibition. The fellow’s most comical idea is this: Russia rules the 
world through having a specific superfluity of ram. To core with 
HER, a man must have the sera of an Urquhart and, if one has the 
misfortune not to be Urquhart himself, one should at least be an 
Urquhartite, i.e. believe what Urquhart believes, his ‘metaphysics’, 
his ‘poOLiricaL ECONOMY’ etc., etc. One should have been in the ‘East’, 
or at least have absorbed the Turkish ‘spirit’, etc. 

If you can do something by Tuesday,’ it would be very welcome, 
since I have to write to the Cape of Good Hope on the same day.”
