Translation of Le monde fou préféré au monde sage, en vingt-quatre promenades, ascribed to B. L. de Muralt.

The authorship of the original treatises, by contemporary writers ascribed to B.L. de Muralt, was revealed in the third edition of the author's Lettres sur la religion essentielle à l'homme, pub. after her death by her parents (Londres, 1756). It was, however, believed in Geneva, that Muralt had some share in her books. cf. E. Ritter, B.L. de Muralt, in Zeitschrift f. neufranz, sprache u. literatur, 3. band (1882) p. [187] ff.; V. Rossel, Histore littéraire de la Suisse romande, t. II (1891) p. 30-47; Quérard, La France littéraire; J. Senebier, Hist. litt. de Geneve, III (1786) p. 84-85.

The assumption that B. de Mandeville wrote the present work is without foundation.
