IN SWITZERLAND 55from the reviews of his book, both favorable and unfavorable,
which had appeared in papers such as the Aachener Zeitung, Die
Schweizerzeitung, the Kölnische Zeitung, the Züricher Landbote,
the Paris Vorwärts, La Patrie of Switzerland, and the London
Times.^30 Comments from men like Bruno Bauer and Wilhelm
Marr were transcribed into the personal copy which Weitling
carried with him to the United States.
Werner Sombart, in his monumental work on proletarian social-
ism, lists Weitling's Garantieen with Louis Blanc's L'organisation
du travail, Proudhon's Qu'est ce que la propriété?, Cabet's Voyage
en Icarie and Moses Hess's Die europäische Triearchie, among the
"decisive works of the second period" in the evolution of socialist
thought. As late as 1901, Juarès, the famous French socialist, was
still citing Weitling's major work in the Paris socialist newspaper,
La Petite République; and Morris Hillquit, historian of American
Socialism, characterized Weitling's social theory as "the connect-
ing link between primitive and modern socialism."^31
