Paul B: On the title page below his name, there is the following: "Formerly Managing Director, London Scottish Banking Corporation; Investment Director Grain Union, S.A. (Antwerp); Associate Editor Magazine of Wall Street" An "Associate Editor" (in the "Preface", he wrote that he was a "financial editor") of a magazine might be loosely thought of as being a "journalist", right? It's certainly likely that in that capacity he wrote occasional articles and reported on current events and meetings for that magazine. > You say you have 2 MSS from a 'Blake'... is it not possible to publish > these ? I don't know about that, but the title(s) of the book is/are curious. I.e. the title page says that it is _Elements of Marxian Economic Theory and its Criticism_ whereas the _cover_ of the book lists the title as _An American Looks at Karl Marx_. Presumably the former was the official title and the one preferred by the author and the latter was selected by the publisher (Cordon Company)? In solidarity, Jerry
