[Transcriber's NoteAlthough this "electronic" version of The Development of Capitalism in Russia follows the pagination scheme of Volume 3 of Lenin's Collected Works (4th English Edition), I had to referred periodically to the "Fourth printing" (1974) of an edition not carrying the binding of the Collected Works to correct assorted printing errors in punctuation and to eliminate numerous ambiguities in the column headings of many of the data tables presented in the text. It is also worth noting that there were various technical difficulties that arose in transcribing the text which I failed to resolve to my satisfaction. From among the 115 data tables distributed throughout the text (half of which are in Chapter II) there were bound to be some that were so large that they could not be reasonably "cut up" to fit the width of the screen. As such, the reader will, on occasion, have to scroll to the right to view the right side of certain tables. The book also contains four charts and diagrams (Chapters II, V and VI) which are reproduced as image files ("gifs"). Given the very large size of the text (1.9MB), it has been divided into six parts, each consisting of one or two chapters. As always, the endnotes for each chapter accompany the chapter, and all links within and between "parts" are (or should be) functional. What follows is the COMPLETE table of contents for The Development of Capitalism in Russia, from which you will be able to access the various chapters. -- DJR]
