God and the State was written in February and March 1871. It was originally written as Part II of a greater work that was going to be called The Knouto-Germanic Empire and the Social Revolution.[1]

The first issue of The Anarchist, published in 1885 in London by Henry Seymour, held an announcement of a translation into English by Marie Le Compte.[2] The International Publishing Company announced that the profits would go to the Red Cross of the Russian Revolutionary Party.[3]
