Domhnall Cobhthaigh sent me the following offlist. Jim Farmelant http://independent.academia.edu/JimFarmelant --------------- Vol 3 of MECW P 188: Letter to the editor of the Allgemeine Zeitung (Augsberg) The diverse rumours which have been spread by German newspapers concerning the discontinuation of the Deutsch-Franzosische Jahrbucher impel me to state that the Swiss publishers of the Jahrbucher suddenly withdrew from this enterprise for economic reasons and thus made impossible the continuation of this journal for the time being Karl Marx Paris April 14, 1844 However, the note indicates: 36 The printing of the journal was carried out in Zurich by the publishing house Das literarische Comptoir founded by Julius Frobel in 1842. Besides the reason mentioned in the letter, disagreements between Marx and Arnold Ruge were largely responsible for the journal ceasing to be published. These disagreements boiled down to the fact that the bourgeois radical Ruge opposed Marx's revolutionary-communist world outlook. The final break between Marx and Ruge took place in March 1844. Ruge's hostile attitude towards the revolutionary struggle of the masses, which became evident at the time of the Silesian uprising of June 1844, induced Marx to come out in the press against his former co-editor. My own note: There are large amounts of further detail on Ruge-Marx correspondence and different perspectives on the purpose of the Jahrbucher in Volume 3 of MECW. These would appear to confirm the validity of the note's interpretation although knowing Marx's integrity I suspect the letter is true in some regard also. ____________________________________________________________ Penny Stock Jumping 2000% Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4be361f4c4cb96629dm03vuc _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
