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 per-

mission 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, Librar-

ian 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.
