In his "Recollections and Reflections" (Carl Slienger; London,1976) first printed in "Freedom" in 1912 Frank Kitz writes that in 1878 or shortly afterwards the Socialist "sections" in London published the pamphlet "The Principles of Social Democracy" by John Sketchley and the "English section undertook the reissue of two pamphlets on Communism by Henry Glasse" (p13). Sketchley's pamphlet was around 54pp ( E P Thompson in "William Morris:From Romantic to Revolutionary" calls it a book)

Manifesto of the Socialists and Anarchists tried in Lyons by the French government in January 1883" Apparently produced by a group of revolutionaries including Kitz and Lane.( according to Thomas -"Anarchists Ideas and Countercultures in Britain")The only thing I have seen that could be this is a !one page sheet published by The International Socialist Federation, 15,Poland St, London W January 23 1883. However this version is entitled " Manifesto of the Socialists tried in Lyon by the French republican Government" The same,perhaps?

Some publication details.In the June 1887"Anarchist" Seymour wrote:
"The International Publishing Co. as it stood has been dissolved, but will be carried on as an anarchistic publishing house by myself" I am inclined to think that what came from Newington Green after June 1887 was not published by International Publishing Co.but by Henry Seymour.More later.
Not sure just how much of Chatterton is anarchist.Perhaps by 1887? I have added the Carpenter because it is considered one of his most anarchist texts...Also date of Expropriation by Kropotkin.Presumably Proudhon's 'What is Property?" transl. by Benjamin Tucker in 1876 was circulating through Seymour.Need to check the date of the W. Reeves edition.
