London, 13 February 1895 

Dear Fischer, 

I enclose the titles for the pamphlet* as well as for the chapters. In order to 
complete the three articles it will be necessary to add the passages on France 
from the 5" and 6" (double) issue as a 4" chapter. *'* Arranged, that is, as set 
out on the encl. sheet; first (in square brackets) my few introductory words, 
then the passage on pp. 150/153° as shown, then a line of dots indicating the 
omission and, by way of conclusion, the main passage on pp. 160-171.° That 
will provide a perfectly respectable chapter and, with the abolition of 
universal suffrage which served Bonaparte as a pretext in Dec. 1851, round 
off the whole with a pertinent conclusion without which it would remain a 
fragment. 

Tomorrow I shall get on with the introduction to the whole.“ In Germany 
matters are really coming to a head quite nicely. I can hardly imagine that the 
Centre ’' would deliberately saw off the branch it was sitting on. But the 
foolishness of our opponents increases from day

to day and in this respect nothing is really impossible. If the gentlemen’s 
defection is consummated, that will mean making over the whole of the 
Rheinland and Westphalia to us. Regards.
