The First International was a radical political group formed by George Julian Harney in London in 1848.
It was comprised of European revolutionaries and British radicals. Members included Karl Marx, Alexander Herzen, George Eccarius, Felix Pyat, George Julian Harney and John Bedford Leno. Meetings were held in a café called Jacques, which was run by a French exile in Chapel Street, near Oxford Street.
It was superseded by the International Workingmen's Association in 1864, which still sometimes uses its name.
