1723rif. 2353259London: Printed for Edmund Parker at the Bible and Crown in Lombard-Street 1723. Second Edition. Full-Leather. Fair/No Jacket. Signed by author. Second edition. Lacks front board and spine label some loss along edges of rear board and spine leather dry and rubbed title page loose with some loss along edges. 1723 Full-Leather. vi 428 11 pp. Full calf with hand-tooled design five raised spine bands. A collection of essays including discussion of the origin of moral virtue the nature of charity and society etc. The work comprises a satirical poem entitled The Grumbling Hive: or Knaves turn'd Honest which was first published anonymously in 1705; a prose discussion of the poem called 'Remarks'; and an essay An Enquiry into the Origin of Moral Virtue. In 1723 a second edition the one offered here was published with two new essays 'An Essay on Charity and Charity-Schools' and 'A Search into the Nature of Society'. In the original portion of the work Mandeville controversially asserts that self-interest is the lynchpin of a properly functioning society and that practicing honesty and virtue while objectively desirable in practice leads to negative outcomes. His theories influenced Scottish Enlightenment thinkers like Francis Hutcheson David Hume and Adam Smith as well as economic constructs like the division of labor laissez-faire capitalism etc. Mandeville also wrote A Treatise of the Hypochondriack and Hysterick Passions which Garrison-Morton 10703 describes as: "Probably the first psychiatric self-help book. Hunter and Macalpine call Mandeville's work 'the first book on minor mental maladies 'writ by way of Information to Patients' rather than 'to teach other Practitioners'. Mandeville gave a graphic account of his own attack of melancholy when he developed the delusion that he had syphilis' Hunter & Macalpine p. 296.

This second edition published nine years after the first includes substantial additions and corrections and is about twenty-five percent longer than the original. It was influential particularly in Germany where it was printed in several editions. Routledge in reference to a recent scholarly reissue of the text states "Bernard Mandeville was best known for The Fable of the Bees in which he demolishes the supposed moral basis of society by a Hobbesian demonstration that civilization depends on vice. Today Mandeville is seen as a trenchant satirist of the manners and foibles of his age. He is also seen as a precursor of some of Adam Smith's doctrines a forerunner in the field of sociology. A prescient analyst of the dynamics of our modern consumer society Mandeville is author of a striking naturalistic account of the gradual evolution of modern society from its primitive antecedents. His literary signature in a manner of speaking is his famous paradox 'private vices public benefits.' To understand Mandeville's Free Thoughts one needs to situate it within the context of the religious and political controversies ongoing subversion fear and dormant warfare of his times. Those would eventually erupt again and for the last time in the bloody Jacobite rebellion of 1745-46. The first five chapters of the book explore religious and theological issues including the nature of belief and knowledge the significance of rites and ceremonies and controversies about Christian mysteries such as the Trinity and free will and predestination. The next five chapters explore controversial issues of church politics including persecution and toleration across the centuries the basis of Mandeville's anticlericalism. In the eleventh chapter he turns aside from matters of religion to review the balance of powers in Britain's government a mixed or limited monarchy. The final chapter is essentially a repetition of Mandeville's pleas for civil and religious peace through mutual toleration by opposing religious parties. Mandeville's work is of continuing interest to students of culture and history religion and theology and political science. Jonh Brotherton, at the Bible in Cornhill hardcover
