  * A further word about socialists and communists. In the 1830s and 40s, the French followers of Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier were widely known as socialists. By contrast, the Parisian secret societies organized around the ideas of Etienne Cabet and Louis-Auguste Blanqui (see below, p. 73), who looked back to the French Revolution for inspiration, were described as communists. During the early to mid-1840s, Marx and Engels followed contemporary practice in often using the terms communist and socialist without clear demarcations. In the words of Raymond Williams, ‘until c. 1850 the word [socialist] was too new and too general to have any predominant use’. As we shall see, Marx and Engels's political alliance with the militant, working-class Communist League and belief in a more ‘proletarian’ form of socialism, led them in the later 1840s to describe themselves specifically, for a number of years, as communists (as in the Communist Manifesto) to differentiate themselves from the more Utopian socialism of Fourier, Saint-Simon and Robert Owen. However, by the latter half of the nineteenth century, as communism often came in the popular mind to be associated with insurrection (notably in the aftermath of the 1871 Paris Commune) and Michael Bakunin's philosophy of anarchism gained traction, Marx and Engels were inclined to describe themselves as ‘socialists’ or even ‘scientific socialists’. The usage of ‘communist’ fully re-emerges only from 1918 with the renaming of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party to the All-Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) following the Russian Revolution of 1917 and its clear differentiation from European social democracy. For a good account, see Raymond Williams, Keywords (London, 1988).

  * My thanks for this information to Nick Mansfield, who also tells me that as late as 1940, the National Union of Seamen allowed the Leconfield hounds in Sussex to use the grounds of their wartime headquarters.

  * There is, in truth, one final glorious twist: Percy Rosher had persuaded Engels to take out a life insurance policy for him (so as to secure the future of Pumps's children). With no sense of irony, following Engels's death, Percy threatened to sue the Engels Estate for £87 in unpaid prospective contributions.

  * Engels also left £227 worth of ‘wine and other liquors
' in his cellar. In addition, his wine merchants, Twigg & Brett, had 142 dozen bottles in their cellars as the property of Friedrich Engels. These included 77 dozen bottles of claret, 48 dozen bottles of port and 13 dozen bottles of champagne.
