A short introduction and its tanslation (from wikisource, preface)
The "Manifesto" was published as the platform of the "Communist League"
a workingmen's association, first exclusive German, later and international,
and under the political conditions of the Continent before 1848, unavoidable
a secret society. At a Congress of the League, held in London in November,
1847, Marx and Engels were commissioned to prepare for publication a complete
theoretical and practical party-program. Drawn up in German, in January, 1848,
the manuscript was sent to the printer in London a few weeks before the French
revolution of February 24th. A French translation was brought out in Paris,
shortly before the insurrection of June,1848. Ther first English translation,
by Miss Helen Macfalane, appeared in George Julian Harney's "Red Republican,"
London, 1850. A Danish and a Polish edition had also been published.
