Rare Italian edition we can only trace 4 copies in institutional collections worldwide. Rare 16th-century Italian edition of the world's first best-selling travel book. Although largely fictitious the journeys are based upon travellers' tales extant in the fourteenth century and as such are of considerable interest. Purchas considered Sir John Mandeville to be akin to Marco Polo in terms of importance 'the greatest Asian Traveller that ever the World had' Pilgrimes III p65. His travels take the reader through Turkey Armenia Persia Tartary Arabia India and China and gave many Europeans their first taste of the Near and Middle East as well as the East Indies. Little is known of Mandeville himself however he claims to have been an English Knight who travelled between 1322 and 1356 serving under both the Sultan of Egypt and the Great Khan. Although traditionally attributed to Mandeville in reality the work was an English version of a text known as Itinerarium of which the original ascribed to Jean d'Outremeuse was probably written in Anglo-Norman French. All pre-1725 editions of Mandeville are scarce and editions such as this in a vernacular language particularly so.

1720ref. 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.

1732ref. 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.

1732ref. 158464London: Printed for J. Tonson 1732 & 1733. Private vices as public virtues Seventh edition stated sixth of the first part second edition of the second part of Mandeville's best-known work demonstrating through a parable of bees renouncing all luxury and seeing their hive collapse that the Christian ascetic philosophy cannot lead to a prosperous economy and social system and consequently that individual vices of vanity and greed are virtues for the community. The work originated in 1705 as a poem titled The Grumbling Hive expanded into the first book-length edition in 1714 and revised by Mandeville in further editions. Part II first published in 1729 matches the length of the first part and comprises six dialogues in which Cleomenes instructs Horatio as to the Fable's true meaning. Mandeville's implication that religion was damaging to social welfare was contentious and in 1723 the work was declared a public nuisance by the grand jury of Middlesex and Mandeville himself accused of blasphemy. Undeterred he addressed his accusers in the London Journal and published a pamphlet defending himself against such charges; the contents of this "Vindication" are included in the present edition of Part I along with Mandeville's Essay on Charity Schools claiming that educating the poor above their station was in nobody's interest and his Search into the Nature of Society further espousing the Fable's themes. Mandeville would spend the rest of his life justifying his work to its many critics yet it was still characterized well after his death as "the wickedest cleverest book in the English language" in the diary of Henry Crabb Robinson June 1812. The book had an enduring influence on the science of economics in pointing out what was self-evident to many but never before put so boldly - that expenditure on luxuries the incentives created by the desire for social betterment and the need for profit all form the basis of the economic system and social order around it. Adam Smith though denouncing Mandeville in his Theory of Moral Sentiments followed his central thesis that the individual's self-interest works to the good of the whole. Keynes was influenced by Mandeville in his notion of the "paradox of thrift" that withholding spending reduces demand and harms the economy. Friedrich Hayek in a lecture of 1966 to the British Academy called Mandeville a "Master Mind" in recognising that individuals seeking to advance their own interests create a "spontaneous order" which can form a society without the need for a controlling state. 2 vols octavo 191 x 121 mm.
