APPENDIX B
Manuscripts Marked by Barbauld but Not Printed
This list derives almost entirely from the Forster Collection; I have not examined every surviving Richardson letter for signs of Barbauld's editing. Nor have I listed every Barbauld-marked letter I have examined, for not every Barbauld mark suggests an intention to edit. The 80 letters listed here are all marked in ways similar to those that were printed.
