Marx makes a comment in:
http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1881/letters/81_06_20.htm

Where he says:
"On the other hand George's book, like the sensation it has made with
you, is significant because it is a first, if unsuccessful, attempt at
emancipation from the orthodox political economy.

H. George does not seem, for the rest, to know anything about the
history of the early American anti-renters,** who were rather practical
men than theoretical. Otherwise he is a talented writer (with a talent
for Yankee advertisement too) as his article on California in the
Atlantic proves, for instance. He also has the repulsive presumption and
arrogance which is displayed by all panacea-mongers without exception."
