180931327Paris & Genève Chez J.J. Paschoud 1809. 8vo. Bound in three nice uniform cont. hcalfbdgs. w. gilt backs red leather title-labels w. gilt lettering and gilt round green tome-labels on backs. Capitals w. a bit of wear. Internally nice and clean. W. half-titles in all three volumes and advertisement-leaf in vol. one. XIII 1 424 5; 6 395 1; 4 392 pp. <br/><br/><em>First French edition of this political and economic classic which constitutes Malthus' first major publication and his main work because of which he is considered the father of demography and the main source of inspiration of Darwin and Wallace.The first edition was printed anonymously in London in 1798 and in 1803 the second edition which also according to Malthus himself can be said to constitute a new work appeared; -the great quarto edition from 1803 is thoroughly revised and much enlarged the title has been changed and Malthus' name appears on the title-page it is on this edition that all the preceding editions are based and in consequence also the early translations. All the later editions were minor revisions of the second one. In 1807 the fourth edition appeared and in 1809 the first French one which is translated from the revised fourth edition "A la suite de cette préface on trouve dans la 4.e édition sur laquelle je traduis une notice de tous les changements que la 3.e édition a apportés à la 2.e. Le plus considérable est celui qui a rapport à l'estimation de la fécondité des mariages. Il est absolument inutile pour les lecteurs francois de connoître le détail minutieux des autres changemens qui ne peuvent intéresser que les acquéreurs des précédentes éditions. P.P.p" Préface p. xxiij. New revisions of the text kept appearing till the sixth edition in 1826.The book then as now is considered highly controversial and it has influenced all demographers ever since as well as being of immense importance to the study of economic theory and genetic inheritance. "The "Essay" was highly influential in the progress of thought in the early nineteenth-century Europe. "Parson" Malthus as Cobbett dubbed him was for many a monster and his views were often grossly misinterpreted. But his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable. The Malthusian theory of population came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws and Malthus was a leading spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834." PMM 251.Thomas Robert Malthus 1766-1834 called the "enfant terrible" of the economists was an English demographer statistician and political economist who is best known for his groundbreaking views on population growth presented in his "Essays on the Principle of Population" which is based on his own prediction that population would outrun food supply causing poverty and starvation. Among other things this caused the legislation which lowered the population of the poor in England. Malthus actually turned political economic and social thought upside down with this work which has caused him to be considered one of the 100 most influential persons in history Hart The 100: A Ranking of the most Influential Persons in History 1978. Of course he was condemned by Marx and Engels and opposed by the socialists universally but the work was of immense impact on not only politics economics social sciences etc but also on natural sciences. "Later in the "Origin of Species" he Darwin wrote that the struggle for existence "is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdoms; for in this case there can be no artificial increase of food and no prudential restraint from marriage" p. 63. Alfred Russel Wallace who arrived at a worked-out formulation of the theory of evolution at almost precisely the same time as Darwin acknowledged that "perhaps the most important book I read was Malthus's "Principles of Population" My Life p. 232. Although there were four decennial censuses before Malthus' death he did not himself analyze the data although he did influence Lambert Quetelet and Pierre Verhulst who made precise statistical studies on growth of populations in developed countries and showed how the early exponential growth changed to an S curve." DSB IX p. 69.As Malthus realized that his theories were not satisfactorily presented or sufficiently demonstrated in the first edition from 1798 he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published the second edition in 1803. Among other places he travelled through France and Switzerland in 1802 and his detailed diaries of these journeys provided him with some of the evidence necessary for the development of his theory on population growth. The observational information that he gathered on his travels in Europe were crucial to the development of his theories which also means that the work is of great interest for other European countries and not only Britain. "In 1819 the Royal Society elected Malthus to a fellowship. He was also a member of the French Institute and the Berlin Academy and a founding member of the Statistical Society 1834." DSB IX p. 67.

180993446Paris: J. J. Paschoud 1809. The most influential work of its era on population in a contemporary binding First French edition translated by Pierre Prévost. First published in English in 1798 it was perhaps the most influential work of its era on population arguing that the growth of a population would always outrun its ability to feed itself. The first edition was so successful that Malthus soon elaborated on it under his real name culminating in the sixth edition of 1826 which was a scholarly expansion of the first. A political economist who occupies a hallowed place in the history of biology Malthus was acknowledged by both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace as a key influence in developing the theory of natural selection. 3 vols octavo. Contemporary quarter calf marbled boards brown morocco labels spines lettered in gilt with gilt and black motifs edges uncut. Board edges slightly faded and a little scuffed joints tender tips bumped and lightly rubbed. A very good set. Carpenter XXXII 7; Kress B.5591. hardcover

180365276London: Printed for J. Johnson.by T. Bensley 1803. The Economics of Population<br> <br> MALTHUS Thomas Robert. An Essay on the Principle of Population; Or a view of its past and present effects on Human Happiness; With an Inquiry into our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it occasions. A new edition very much enlarged. London: Printed for J. Johnson. by T. Bensley 1803.<br> <br> Second edition enlarged and revised. Quarto. viii 4 610 pp.<br> <br> Contemporary calf skillfully rebacked to style and with corners renewed. Spine decoratively tooled in gilt compartments with burgundy morocco gilt lettering label. Endpapers renewed. Occasional light foxing. Title-page with publisher's diagonal paper flaw crease. Overall very good.<br> <br> A completely revised and greatly expanded edition of the most influential work on population ever written. Malthus published the first edition of his Essay in 1798 and was apparently unprepared for the torrent of controversy that his ideas provoked. His response to the public outcry was to spend the next five years refining and expanding his theories for this second edition so much so that "in its present shape it may be considered a new work and I should probably have published it as such omitting the few parts of the former which I have retained but that I wished it to form a whole of itself and not to need a continual reference to the other." preface<br> <br> Malthus' basic argument--that population increases geometrically at a greater rate than does the means of subsistence which increases arithmetically--was one of the earliest modern economic and social theories and his contention that it would eventually become necessary for society to impose some form of restraint on over-population provided the premise for heated socio-economic debate for almost two centuries.<br> <br> Kress B4701.
