APPENDIX A
The Manuscript Counterparts of Texts in Correspondence: Summary of Collations
Of the 442 letters represented in Correspondence, manuscript texts are known (as of 2002) to survive for 111. Of those, I have been able to study 99 originals and 5 more in photocopy.[41] The list below is arranged by volume and page (first column). The Forster MSS bear several different numerations; I use the one used by Eaves and Kimpel (second column). Manuscript lengths (third column) and amounts deleted ("dels," fourth column) are counted in lines; counts include headings, closings, and partial lines. Barbauld's marks on the manuscripts (fifth column) normally include writing a heading, as in Figure 1 above, so I seldom mention headings individually. The sixth column lists variants in the printed texts not indicated by Barbauld marks on the surviving manuscripts.
