Frederick Denison Maurice / William Law
''Remarks on the Fable of the Bees'' is a book written by William Law in 1844. The book is an analysis and critique of the poem ''The Fable of the Bees'' by Bernard Mandeville, which was first published in 1714. Mandeville’s poem is a satirical work that argues that vice and selfishness are necessary for the prosperity of society. Law’s book challenges this idea, arguing that virtue and morality are essential for a healthy society. The book includes an introduction that provides background information on Mandeville’s poem and its historical context. Law’s analysis is thorough and well-researched, drawing on a variety of sources to support his arguments. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the relationship between morality and prosperity in society.With An Appendix, Containing The Poem Of The Fable Of The Bees, Mandeville�������s Introduction And Treatise On The Origin Of Morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
