Usually, a really enhanced modern version of a classic will have a new introduction. None in this one.
Ah, but you said you downloaded the 'free sample' which is certainly less than the full text. It's possible that the additions are in the portions of the book that you didn't get in the sample. I think it's around 10% or less of a book when you get a sample so that leaves up to 90% of the book in which the additional material may be included.
