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.

1723ref. 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.
