Volume 40 contains the letters of Marx and Engels from 1856 to 1859. Many deal with Marx's work in 1857-58 on a series of economic manuscripts that formed the first rough draft of Capital, and with the writing and publication in June 1859 of A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, which embodied the results of his research during that period. Of considerable interest are the letters of Marx and Engels to Ferdinand Lassalle which formulate a number of cardinal propositions of Marxist aesthetics, as well as dealing with questions of current politics and tactics.
