Acknowledgements As I explain in the note on the text, this edition is drawn from two sources: one is a special copy of Leviathan in the Cambridge University Library (where it is part of the Royal Library acquired from John Moore, the Bishop of Ely, and given to the University by George I in 1715), and the other is the manuscript of Leviathan in the British Library. I would like to thank the librarians in both institutions for their help and for giving permission to reproduce material in their charge; I owe a particular debt to Brian Jenkins, Under-Librarian in charge of the Rare Books Room at the University Library. I would also like to thank David McKitterick, Librarian of Trinity College, for help and advice about Moore’s library; Peter Jones, Librarian of King’s College, for letting me consult the college’s remarkable collection of Hobbes’s works (bequeathed to them by Lord Keynes) and for helping me in other ways; and Peter Day, Keeper of the Works of Art at Chatsworth, who helped to uncover the curious fact that there was apparently no copy of Leviathan at Hardwick or Chatsworth until the nineteenth century. Other scholars have given me a great deal of advice, especially Noel Malcolm, Quentin Skinner, Maurice Goldsmith, Ian Harris (see p. lxv) and Lucien Jaume. I would also (in 2008) like to thank Quentin Skinner and the students in his special subject at Cambridge for spotting and correcting various misprints in the earlier impressions.
