Note from MECW vol. 4, 1975 :

These entries in Marx’s Notebook for 1844-1847 immediately precede the famous “Theses on Feuerbach”, written in April 1845. In content the notes correspond to the first point of the “Draft Plan for a Work on the Modern State” given above-evidence that in the first months of his stay in Brussels Marx had not abandoned the plan of writing a work on the French Revolution, but still could not carry it out at that stage. The ideas briefly recorded in his notes have much in common with a number of those developed in The Holy Family.

The divine egoist as opposed to egoistical man.

The delusion regarding the ancient state prevailing during the revolution.

Concept” and “substance”.

The revolution=history of the origin of the modern state.
