The new line should be spaced from the next line by the space that separates the last two lines on the page.

Starting on the same line as the first line of text on p. ix, insert the following note, the heading (typesize as headings of columns on p. 157) to be centred and followed by a line space, and the initials at the end to be letter-spaced small caps:

Note to the Second Impression

I take the opportunity provided by a second impression to correct one or two misunderstandings occasioned by my Preface. The lectures, though unscripted, were not broadcast live, but recorded and edited before transmission. The typescript entitled ‘Political Ideas in the Romantic Age’ (see p. xii) played virtually no part in the construction of the text of the present volume. And there is in existence, to my knowledge, neither a surviving recording nor a transcript of the author’s Flexner Lectures.
    A few errors have also been corrected. I should like to thank Lady Berlin, George Crowder, Roger Hausheer and Noel Malcolm for drawing four of them to my attention.
