Notes

De Cive and Leviathan are based on the 1651 editions, with variants from the Molesworth edition listed; The Elements of Law is a reproduction of the Ferdinand Tönnies edition. The remainder of the texts were drawn directly from the Molesworth edition, and were entered by staff and students of Dartmouth College. Work has begun on the complete Latin works of Hobbes.

As for the [English Works of Thomas Hobbes]. . . it's just what I needed. . . . good notations of the corresponding pages in the Molesworth edition (which eliminates a ton of crosschecking at the end of a search process). . . . it will become indispensable as I progress in the dissertation process.
