15. K. Marx. Synopsis of Engels’ Pamphlet The Prussian Military Question and the German Workers’ Party

The Prussian Military Question and the German Workers' Party. By Frederick Engels. (Hamburg, Otto Meissner)

We can warmly commend this pamphlet to our readers as it treats the most urgent issues of the day in Germany with great incisiveness, impartiality and expert knowledge. The old organisation of the Prussian army, the aims behind its reorganisation, the origins of the constitutional conflict in Prussia,m the conduct of the opposition by the Party of Progress and the simultaneous feuding between the Party of Progress and the Workers' Party — all this is presented here in a brief, but original and exhaustive account.
