Notes on Machiavelli's The Prince The correct number on the inverse of the first edition of The Prince is 271, a number used in both 1940 and 1941. To be sure you have a first edition, check to see that the highest Giant listing is G51, George Eliot’s Best Known Novels. In 1950, a new printing appeared using the same plates but with a few content changes. (These changes were made for the ML College Edition and made it to the regular ML edition.) On the title page Max Lerner is identified as Professor of American Civilization and Political Institutions, Brandeis University. The introduction itself includes comments on Mussolini's use of Machiavellian writings, and several additional sentences appear in the final page about the usefulness of "Machiavellis realism about tough-minded methods." A new two-page bibliography follows the introduction.
