1720réf. 168926London: Printed and Sold by T. Jauncy and J. Roberts 1720. First edition of the author's forceful argument for the secularization of British politics his most substantial and wide-ranging political tract. This copy comes from the library of John Wallop Lord Viscount Lymington 1690-1762 a Whig politician who was an ally of Robert Walpole and bears his armorial bookplate on the front pastedown. Bernard Mandeville 1670-1733 grew up and studied in the Netherlands before settling in England at some point after the Glorious Revolution. Free Thoughts walks a fine line between advocating religious toleration and criticising the practices of the English priesthood advocating a Whiggish support of secularized constitutional government. "Despite the objections of the pious history and a growing segment of influential opinion were on Mandeville's side; and the ensuing years of the eighteenth century were to see an increasing acceptance in practice if not always in theory of the secularization of politics he so forcefully advocated in the Free Thoughts on Religion the Church and National Happiness" Cook p. 92. Two variants of the first edition are known. This example contains page xix correctly numbered - no priority has been identified. The book was reissued in 1721 and 1723 with new editions in 1729 and 1731 and was translated into French Dutch and German. The shelf label reads "Dr Mandevi Works Vol:1" indicating that this volume originally formed part of a collected set. Octavo 190 x 114 mm. Wood-engraved head- and tailpieces. Contemporary panelled calf spine with raised bands forming six compartments brown morocco label lettered in gilt edges sprinkled red.

1732réf. 158809London: Printed for John Brotherton 1732. First edition of the author's last book; the final instalment of a long string of incendiary treatises which incensed his contemporaries. Following his tracts attacking Christian ethics defending brothels and opposing charity schools Mandeville here turns to the readiness with which Christianity can be perverted to militarism and asserts that honour is no more than pride. As with his Fable of the Bees Part II 1729 an entirely different work to the first part the treatise takes the form of a dialogue between two interlocutors Cleomenes and Horatio. "Mandeville repeated his view that the passions of pride and shame are both forms of self-liking. Honour and worldly religion are treated as devices that are useful for socializing humans. Honour is discovered to be even less demanding than virtue or the artificial courage discussed in the Fable of the Bees. The work again reveals Mandeville's anti-clericalism in his account of how a perverted version of the truly peaceful doctrine of Christianity can be used to motivate soldiers" ODNB. Octavo 184 x 115 mm. Late 19th-century half sheep and pebble-grain cloth spine ruled gilt in compartments black leather label sprinkled edges. Joints and corners rubbed head of spine with tiny chip. Margins trimmed a little close; a crisp clean copy. ESTC T59021; Kaye pp. 440ff. hardcover
