Ralph, 

You need the book.  It contains, "Critique of Hegel's Doctrine of the 
State," Letters from the _Franco-German Yearbooks_, "On the Jewish 
Question," "A contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of 
Right.  Introduction,"  "Excerpts from James Mill's _Elements of 
Political Economy_", EPM, and "Critical Notes on the Article 'The King of 
Prussia and Social Reform.  By a Prussian'" plus in the Appendix the 
Theses Concerning Feuerbach and the Preface to the 1859 Critique.  The 
Hegel manuscript you were asking about is very worthwile indeed.  
However, I can't speak for the translation's quality.  

Best,

Santiago
