Ernesto Why do you think they wrote it? I think it is highly unlikely. 1. MECW would have included it, but they content themselves in the note by saying that M&E's influence in the journal contents can be detected. 2. Draper does not mention it 3. The editor was Wolff so he probably wrote it. 4. A piece attacking Cabet's emigration plan has previously been wrongly attributed to Marx. It was probably by Schapper. 5. There would be no reason for M&E to write together despite the one off commission to do the CM which happened shortly thereafter. 6. M and E, separately, were active publishing during this period but they did so in the Deutsche Brusseler Zeitung, a communist journal edited by Bornstadt, very understandably since Marx was living there and E in Paris. 7. There is an English translation of the whole journal in D Ryazanoff *The communist Manifesto of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels* (London martin Lawrence 1930) Appendix. I don't have it to hand so I cannot report his editorial view. 8. Incidentally the epigraph to the journal was Workers of the world unite - the first public appearance of this slogan.
