Excerpt from a letter written to A. Mayer, April 30, 1867

"... Yes, then why did I not reply to your letter? Because in the meantime I was teetering on the verge of death. In such a situation it was necessary that every moment in which I could work, I  I used to complete my book. I have dedicated this book to my health, happiness and family. I think there is no need to add anything more to this clarification. The so-called "practical" people, the statues of wisdom.  The very name makes me laugh. If someone wants to be a bull, then he can certainly take care of his own skin by turning a blind eye to the sufferings of mankind. But, at least, my book -  If I had passed away without ever having finished the manuscript, I would have considered myself a truly "impractical" man.

 The first volume of the book will be published from Hamburg in a few weeks.  It is being published by Otto Messmer.  The name of the book is: 'Capital.  'Criticism of Political Economy'."

 --Karl Marx
