An early twentieth century Polish translation of the Communist Manifesto, published in August, 1905, at the height of the Russian Revolution. The first Polish translation of the original German text appeared within months of the publication of the first edition at London. For the edition published in 1892, Engels prepared a foreword:
'the new Polish edition indicates a decided progress of Polish industry. And there can be no doubt whatever that this progress since the previous edition published ten years ago has actually taken place. Russian Poland, Congress Poland, has become the big industrial region of the Russian Empire. Whereas Russian large-scale industry is scattered sporadically...Polish industry has been packed into a relatively small area and enjoys both the advantages and disadvantages arising from such concentration. The competing Russian manufacturers acknowledged the advantages when they demanded protective tariffs against Poland, in spirit of their ardent desire to transform the Poles into Russians'.
