In presenting these timely pamphlets from the pen of one of the greatest European writers on Socialism and the recognised living authority on Marxism to our English readers, no remarks are required from me. The pamphlets are probably destined to dispel completely the remains of that wave of opportunism which seemed a year or two back to have spread from England to the Continent, but which has received a decisive check from the recent course of events in England as elsewhere. In conclusion, I may be permitted to say that this translation is the only one authorised by Karl Kautsky.
