The conspiratorial theory of the origin of society so prominent in Part I was widely criticized after the publication of the 1723 edition. In the second volume probably in response to his critics Mandeville moved towards a more evolutionary account of society. This had an influence on the thinking of David Hume. Mandeville also adumbrated the division of labour theory subsequently developed by Adam Smith.<br/><br/> J. Tonson unknown books

1928527461928. MANDEVILLE John. Itinerarium English. The Voiage and Travaile of Sir John Maundevile Kt. Which treateth of the way to Hierusalem and of marvayles of Inde with other ilands and countryes. 4 156 1 pp. Illustrated throughout with woodcuts and illuminated initials by Valenti Angelo. Folio bound by William Wheeler in recent half morocco. New York: Printed by Edwin and Robert Grabhorn for Random House 1928. The superb Grabhorn edition of Mandeville's Travels originally written in Anglo-Norman French in 1356-7. "It claims to be a guide both geographical and ethical for pilgrims to the Holy Land but it carries the reader far off course to Turkey Tartary Persia Egypt and India. It was an important influence on subsequent English writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare and was the prototype in English of the popular genre of the fabulous travel book" Osborne Oxford Companion. The illustrations were drawn by Valenti Angelo from those in early editions and manuscripts. The type was designed by Rudolph Koch here used for the first time in America. The text of this Grabhorn edition is taken from that of the English edition of 1725. One of an edition of only 150 copies. Ransom p. 302 no. 12. unknown books
1801319639Philadelphia 1801. Small circular engraved broadside engraved by Draper. Approx. 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Inlaid into a larger sheet at a later date. Small circular engraved broadside engraved by Draper. Approx. 3 1/2 inches in diameter. America Looks to the Future: An Unusual Early American Perpetual Calendar. The Explanation running arount the outer border of the lower portion of the Calendar details its use: "Intersect the Column of the Month by the circle in which the Year stands & the Day you there find look for under October which day of the week with those on the right hand will stand over such Days of the Month as falls on them." The Explanation continues with how to determine days of the month using the calendar in the previous century and into the 20th century.<br/><br/>A January 14 1802 review in the Philadelphia Gazette extolls its virtues: ".I am induced to think that sufficient justice can hardly be done to the ingenuity of this little production: The Author has modestly called it a Calendar for the 19th Century while it is in fact a Calendar for twenty-one centuries . It will shew sic in what day of the week an event in history occurred . This Calendar is handsomely executed on copperplate . when framed its figure and beauty will entitle it to a station in the parlour as well as counting house." The review further reveals that the Calendar was being sold for $.25 and was also being marketed as a hat maker's label. <br/><br/>Just a few days prior to that review Mandeville had taken the liberty of sending his Calendar to President Thomas Jefferson writing to him on January 9 1802: "Permit me the honor to present to you . a Calendar for the Nineteenth Century to which I have recently given publicity -- Should I learn that in your estimation I have combined usefulness with originality and comeliness I shall be highly gratified.". According to Philadelphia Directories from the period David Mandeville lived at North Sixth Street in Philadelphia in 1801 and 1802 and worked as an "accomptant" and clerk in the Bank of the United States. The broadside is engraved by John Draper; a former apprentice to Robert Scot he engraved for Dobson's Encyclopedia and was an early American banknote engraver. <br/> <br/>Very rare with only three examples recorded by Shaw and Shoemaker American Antiquarian Society New York Public Library and Massachusetts Historical Society. The AAS example with a variant spelling of the word Calendar "Calender" and with the engraver's name below the outer circle suggesting two issues. Shaw-Shoemaker 269 unknown books
