pp. 246. Slim 8vo., measuring 5.5" x 7.75". Bound in original light-blue cloth over boards with black rules, lettering, and ornamentation to the spine and front board, circular blind-stamped vignette and borders to the front board. Extremities exceptionally well-preserved showing only the faintest rubbing to the edges, text-block shows some occasional underlining, wholly unaffecting the legibility of the text, and strictly confined to the following pages: 15-16, 27-28, 32-34, 46, 48-49, 53-55, 72-75, with the remainder of the text-block without blemish or markings, and firm, sound binding. A scarce offering of the First American Printing of this work of marxist political philosophy by Italian Marxist theoritician, and philosopher Antonio Labriola (1843-1904) whose thought would influence the works of Corce, Gramsci, Bordiga, Trotsky, amongst others. Translated and printed by pioneering leftist American publisher, abolitionist (and vegetarian) Charles H. Kerr at the turn of the of the last century - a highly volatile time for global political movements. Overall, very good+.
