The present English edition of Frederick Engels' Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy is a translation of the Foreword and text of the German edition of 1888, including Karl Marx's Theses on Feuerbach. This translation follows that of the English edition of Selected Works of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, Vol. II, Foreign Languages Publishing House, Moscow, 1951, with corrections where necessary on the basis of the original German text in Marx and Engels, Werke, Vol. 21.

    The Appendices consist of Plekhanov's Forewords to the first and second Russian editions of Feuerbach and of his Notes to the Russian editions. The translation of Plekhanov's Foreword to the first Russian edition and of his Notes to the Russian editions follow that of the English edition of Selected Philosophical Works of Plekhanov, Vol. I, Foreign Languages Publishing House, Moscow, with numerous and often drastic revisions and corrections where necessary. Plekhanov's Foreword to the second Russian edition was translated from the Russian original in the Selected Philosophical Works of Plekhanov, Vol. III.

    The notes on Engels are based on those in the above-mentioned German and English editions. Those on Plekhanov are largely based on those in the English edition of Selected Philosophical Works of Plekhanov, Vol. I and in the Russian edition of Selected Philosophical Work of Plekhanov, Vol. III.
