Full article published in Edinburgh Review, vol.21, pp.378-424. Manuscript, two pages, 4to, trimmed at bottom with loss of text, with light corrections and additions, giving the text for pp.407-8, excluding two lengthy quotations from the book to which Brougham gives the reference only. The trimming had led to the loss of the passage from "In the Conservatorii or charity schools [...] He gives as an instance one Conservatorio where four hundred ... where four hundred...",apart from a few words (subject of pasage partly "repentant women" and vice in Naples). Subjects of the manuscript include Naples and King Ferdinand IV. Notes: A. Wellesley Index, vol. 1, p.451, identifies joint authors: Letter from Brougham quoted saying, "Jeffrey has sent Clarke's MS. to him for remarks; and begs Clarke not to reveal his share in 'Eustace'; Cock and Brougham MS. lists attrib. to Brougham". The Manuscript is in Brougham's hand, somewhat neater and smaller than his sometimes indecipherable letters; B. 'As a young lawyer in Scotland Brougham helped to found the Edinburgh Review in 1802 and contributed many articles to it.'
