520			_aThis is a new translation of Engels's book on the condition of the working class in England in 1844. It is based upon the original German first edition of 1845, which was reprinted, with minor corrections, by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute in Karl Marx Friedrich Engels, Historisch-Kritische Gesamtausgabe: Werke, Schriften, Briefe, Part I, Vol. 4 (1932), pp. 5-282. The Institute edition includes notes by V. Adoratskij (pp. 519-25). We have added to our trans lation an account of a strike of building trade operatives in Manchester which Engels originally wrote for the periodical Das Westfälische Dampfboot (Bielefeld), 1846. The article was reprinted in the Gesamt ausgabe, Part I, Vol. 4, PP. 393-405. The main difference between this edition and all earlier German and English editions is that we have given the exact original text of all Engels's quotations, with one exception. A comparison between Mrs. Wischnewetzky's translation (first published in the U.S.A. in 1887 and in the United Kingdom in 1892) will show that many of Engels's 'quotations' were garbled abridgements of the original. Certain interpolations have been made in the text [in square brackets] for the sake of clarity. Editors' footnotes are bracketed [in heavier type]. Engels's footnotes to the edition of 1845 and to the authorized English translation of 1887 have been left unbracketed.
