Bernard Mandeville 1670 – 1733 was born in Dordrecht Holland. After attending the University of Leiden and earning a medical degree he came to England to learn the language but ended up staying. He is best known for The Fable of the Bees which was first published as a 433-line poem The Grumbling Hive or Knaves Turn'd Honest in 1705 and was expanded into a prose work in 1714. The work was controversial upon its publication being criticized as cynical and degrading but it was popular for years and has since been praised by critics for the cuteness of Mandeville's perceptions and the strength of his style. It influenced George Berkeley who responded to it in the Alciphron as well as Samuel Johnson Adam Smith and the Utilitarians. Printed, and sold by G. Strahan.. hardcover books
