* Karl Marx - German revolutionary socialist
Two articles - the first article, taking 1+ column on pg. 5, titled "The Indian Question - Irish Tenant Right."and the second article, taking 2 columns on pgs. 5 and 6, titled: "The East India Company - It's History and Results," which are written by Karl Marx, and are appropriately signed in type: Karl Marx.

Note: This is an interesting issue which provides the opportunity for a collector to own an original/authentic newspaper with an article written by Karl Marx, the communist revolutionary who would become more famous after his death than during his lifetime. Karl spent most of his life in exile, part of which was in London where he joined the Communist League. As noted in the website "The History Guide": "...during the first half of the 1850s the Marx family lived in poverty in a three room flat in the Soho quarter of London. Marx and Jenny already had four children and two more were to follow. Marx's major source of income at this time was Engels who was trying a steadily increasing income from the family business in Manchester. This was supplemented by weekly articles written as a foreign correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune ."
