Corrections to 1st edition
The superseded list below may be of use to owners of the first edition (2002). It includes (but is not exhausted by) the corrections made in later impressions of that edition.
Insert on p. viii:
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.
