The number of pages of manuscript used is as follows: 1849—30, 1850—28, 1851—159, 1852—92, 1853—139, 1855—93. From 1851 on, Arnold's diaries were available, thus accounting for the great expansion in material. The increase, though considerable, is not so great as the numbers suggest, however, for Arnold wrote little on some of the pages of his diaries.
