Capital (Das Kapital), Volume I -- first English translation
Karl Marx (translated by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling, edited by Friedrich Engels) · Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey & Co. (London) · 1887
D. Appleton & Co. of New York issued an 1889 printing using the identical sheets printed in London for the Swan Sonnenschein edition, rebound with a new Appleton title leaf as a single volume rather than two -- a secondary issue from the same setting, not the true first. The complete English Capital in three volumes (Engels having compiled Volumes II and III from Marx's manuscripts after Marx's death) was not published until the Charles H. Kerr & Co. Chicago edition of 1906-1909, a much later and textually distinct publication from this 1887 Volume-I-only first.
