First edition. Rare political pamphlet wherein Lenin "went further than he had ever before in defending his belief" (Bergmann). In this vituperative attack on his opponents, Lenin proclaims the necessity of "a party that centralized authority and practised conspiracy" in order to resist the repression of the tsars while simultaneously instilling political consciousness in the Russian proletariat. As opposed to his enemies, he considers Jacobinism a virtue rather than a flaw.

A few pages slightly creased. Stamp of the Slavonic Library in Prague to verso of title-page. Old handwritten shelfmark to front wrapper.
