  No.

  It has never been published, and was also not prepared neither be Engels 
not by Kautsky to be published, it required the work of later researchers to 
be made ready for publication. 

  There are also other manuscripts which have not been published until the 
mid of second half of the 20th century. 

  The fact that his notes on mathematics are not of direct political value is 
certainly one of the reasons, also for Engels, not to push the work on them. 
He had enough to to by making volumes 2 and 3 of Das Kapital ready for 
publication. And then he died...

  I think the "Grundrisse" had also not been included, having been published 
only in the 20th century. 

  If you want read more, turn the the MEGA (Marx - Engels GesamtAusgabe) 
which is a work in progress.
