I was fortunate enough to get to know Lawrence Stone in his last years at Princeton, and I feel honored to be able to offer this small tribute to him. I am grateful to Princeton Univer- sity Press for their support of the lectures and of their publication, and to Brigitta van Rheinberg in particular for her attentive readings of successive drafts and many insightful suggestions. Chapter 2 was originally delivered as the 2008 Tsakopoulos Lecture at Columbia Univer- sity, and my thanks go to Kyriakos Tsakopoulos for the invitation to deliver that lecture. I should also like to ac- knowledge the help I received in thinking through these issues from among others Cemil Aydin, Duncan Bell, Manu Bhagavan, Alan Brinkley, Partha Chatterjee, Saul Dubow, Marwa Elshakry, Sheldon Garon, Nicolas Guil- hot, Peter Mandler, Scott Moyers, Samuel Moyn, Phil Nord, Susan Pedersen, Derek Penslar, Carne Ross, Mira Siegelberg, Anders Stephanson, Helen Tilly, and Stephen Wertheim. Discussing these issues with my students at Columbia and at seminars at the Center for International History has in some ways helped most of all. 0000 MMaazzoowweerr FFMM ii--xx..iinndddd vviiii 77//2255//0099 1122::5577::5588 PPMM 0000 MMaazzoowweerr FFMM ii--xx..iinndddd vviiiiii 77//2255//0099 1122::5577::5588 PPMM No Enchanted Palace (cid:2) 0000 MMaazzoowweerr FFMM ii--xx..iinndddd iixx 77//2255//0099 1122::5577::5588 PPMM 0000 MMaazzoowweerr FFMM ii--xx..iinndddd xx 77//2255//0099 1122::5577::5588 PPMM
