ALL passages, of at least a sentence in length, which Mandeville added to The Fable of the Bees in 1723 and 1724, have been noted at the foot of the appropriate page and are not repeated here. I have listed below all other substantive variants (differences in actual wording) found in the London Journal (LJ), The Grumbling Hive (1705), and the editions of the Fable of 1714, 1723, 1724 and 1725 described on pages 48–9 above, except for obvious misprints and those corrected in the errata lists of the various editions. The letters referring to the remarks were added to The Grumbling Hive in 1714 and the addition of Remarks N and T to the Fable in 1723 required a change in alphabetization throughout the book; in both cases these minor alterations can be inferred without further notice. The first notation below, as an example of the rest, means the following: on page 54, line 25, of the present edition the words ‘point to’ printed there appeared in the editions of 1723, 1724 and 1725, replacing the words ‘point at’ in the first edition of 1714. The second edition of 1714 possesses no textual authority and has therefore been ignored throughout.
