IN HOTTINGEN-ZURICH 
London, 13 January 1885 

Dear Mr Schliiter, 

By all means start with the Anti-Dühring as soon as convenient. ?°° 
I have not read the philistine’s reply, * nor do I wish to do so. Reply 
he cannot and he’s welcome to lay about him with as much insolent 
verbiage as he wishes. 

I have long been searching in vain for the Rheinische Zeitung Revue. 
I only have numbers 3, 5 and 6; 1, 2 and 4 are missing. 3°? There are 
virtually no articles in them worth reprinting. Numbers 1-4 contain 
Marx’s history of the French Revolution from 1848 to 1850° 
(comprised in the 18th Brumaire) and my account of events in May 
1849 in the Rhineland and Baden-Palatinate. ‘ Then the Peasant War? 
(5 and 6) and short critical essays, as also a review of daily events. ° 
The right to work is not touched on other than very briefly in, 
I think, Number I‘; Marx wasn’t much interested in catchphrases: 

It would be quite a good idea for you to inquire from Wigand in 
your own name about a new edition of the Condition etc.,*° but that 
won’t get us very much further. I have got to know how I stand with 
him in law and shall inquire again from Freytag. N. B. am assuming 
that, as soon as the matter is sufficiently advanced, you will come to 
an understanding with Dietz, as he does in fact have, or might assert, 
a prior claim. 

Regards to Ede. 

Yours faithfully, 

F. Engels
