Editor, nglish Edition, Lenin's Collected Works.

The Collapse of the Second Interna-
ton, Imperialism the Final Stage of
Capitalism, State and Revolution
and Left Sickness. The bulk of
Lenin's writings consist of articles
written for the underground and
legal revolutionary press. 1t was a
difficult task that the Lenin Insti-
tute faced in establishing the authen-
ITCHY of Lenin's articles which ap-
peared in the periodical press, par
ticularly in short-lived publications.
Many articles were not signed. Other
articles to which his name was af-
fixed later proved on investigation
to have come from the pens Of some
of his co-workers. After carefully
searching the archives of various
party institutions and old publica-
tions, and with the aid Of many of
the collaborators who worked with
Lenin during the various stages Of
his 80 years of activity in the revo-
lutionary movement, the Institute
was able to obtain, carefully check,
edit and prepare for publication the
definitive edition of Lenin's Col
lected w Ks.
Lenin Institute Prepare Definitive
Edition.
The translation which are being
made into three other principal Eu-
ropean languages German, French
and English) are made from these
volumes, issued under the supervi-
sion of the Lenin Institute. Not
only is the definitive text of Lenin's
writings used, but also the numer-
Gus explanatory and biographical
ucts, documents and other ref
erence material included in each

pletelyinto the foreign edition. Thus
in Publishing Lenin's works in Eng
lish we have the benefit Of the scien-
tific work of the Lenin Institute,
which is ready to extend it's CO.
operation to the foreign editors of
the Collected Works.

In addition to the issuance of the
CC-'c-'-d Works, international Pub
fishers WI bring out, as a by-prod-
uct Of the scientific edition, new
translations of su widely circu-
lated pamphlets as Imperialism,
State and Revolution and Left Sick
ness. These pamphlets were evil
de-tly issued without sufficient care
in their translation or publication,
with the re. t that in many in
stances they either misrepresent or
obscure the ideas expressed in them.
international Publishers have also
issued a small volume of Selected
Writings Of Lenin dealing with the
formative period of the Bolshevik
Party, and are about to bring out
another volume in this series which
will deal with the Bolshevik Party
in Action, 1905-1914.
