resume

Collet Dobson Collet attended the Bruce Castle School in North London. He then studied law at University College London with honors in 1833. He finished his studies and made musical studies at the Royal Academy of Music . He became a choir member on Drury Lane under the direction of William Macready and then at the Royal Opera House , Covent Garden . In 1841 he became the choirmaster of the choir at South Place Chapel , Finsbury Square, where he worked with his sister. He also worked as an actor.

In 1838 he married M. McKenzie, who died in 1840. Collet participated in the Chartist suffrage movement . He became secretary of the "People's Charter Union" and the "Newspaper Stamp Abolition Committee", which had the goal of eliminating the 1849 newspaper tax. Collet has written for many newspapers and magazines, including Musical World and Vanity Fair .

Collet was editor of The Free Press (London, 1856–1866), an organ that pursued the goals of David Urquhart and at the same time that of the "Association for the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge", of which he was secretary from 1851 to 1870. In 1866 the name of the London Free Press was changed to The Diplomatic Review (1866-1877). Collet was a leader in this newspaper for the entire period.

Since 1856 there was an exchange of letters between Karl Marx and Collet about the payment of the Marx article series "Relevations of the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century", the 1856/1857 in the Sheffield Free Press (1851-1857), which was edited by Isaac Ironside , or in the London weekly newspaper The Free Press (1856–1877). The two families became friends from 1860 onwards. In February 1860, after consultation with Collet and Urquhart, the Free Press published Marx's leaflet "Prosecution of the Augsburg Gazette", which Marx used in preparation for the trial of the National-Zeitung in the Carl Vogt affair . In the late 1870s, Eleanor Marx gave Shakespeare readings in her parents' house . They called this the "Dogberry Club," a character from Much Ado About Nothing . Participants were Collet's daughter Clara, Marian Comyn, Eleanor's cousin Henry Hubert Juta (1857–1930), the Marx family and others. From September 1872 he received the individual booklet deliveries of the French edition of Das Kapital from Marx and thanked each booklet here.

On June 4, 2008, eight letters from Marx to Collet Dobson Collet were auctioned at Christie's London auction house for a total of ₤ 106,475.
