Summary
With very few revisions or corrections by the author. Concluding with a letter "To the same" dated March 1822 in the printed version (beginning "You will be glad to learn I have done my work -- a volume in less than a month."). Below this entry, Hazlitt has written "The End," and the manuscript lacks copies of the letters that follow in the printed version.
