Acknowledgements

This is the last volume to appear in the Cambridge History of Political Thought
series and it has been a long time in the making. We are especially grateful
to Richard Fisher at Cambridge University Press, who has provided wise
advice and patient encouragement throughout the period of preparation of
the volume. We would like to extend our special thanks to the contributors
who have responded so willingly to editorial suggestions.
For help and encouragement in the early stages of the volume we wish
to record our gratitude to two distinguished scholars who died before their
contributions could be completed; Professor John Burrow of Oxford and
Sussex Universities and Professor Sir Bernard Williams of Berkeley and
Oxford Universities. They provided invaluable advice on the overall shape
and the content of the volume. It is also a matter of deep regret that one
of our contributors, Professor Wolfgang Mommsen of Heinrich Heine
University, Düßeldorf, died before this volume was complete.
Susanne Lohmann, Inga Huld Markan, Jo Maybin and Amy Price offered
practical support in the making of the volume. We are especially grateful
to Mary-Rose Cheadle who expertly supervised the final preparation and
editing of the manuscript.
Most of the editorial work on the volume was carried out at the Centre
for History and Economics in Cambridge. In this connection we would
like to acknowledge the generosity of a number of foundations. We would
especially like to thank the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation and its
Executive Director, Firoz Ladak. We would also like to thank the John
D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation who provided support at earlier stages.
Finally we would like thank at Cambridge University Press, Jo North
for her conscientious copy-editing, Auriol Griffith-Jones who compiled
the index, and most importantly Dan Dunlavey for managing the final
production process.
