The first edition of An Essay on the Principle of Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society was published anonymously by Malthus in 1798 as a pamphlet. The book received wide attention for Malthus's argument that hopes for human happiness are in vain because population will outrun the growth of production. He believed that the human population would continue to grow unchecked resulting in long term human poverty now known as the Malthusian Law of Population. Until this point fertility was viewed as a national imperative and a path to continued economic improvement. This work by Malthus changed the national mindset in Great Britain about childbearing. This work first appeared in book form in 1803 with this copy being the third edition published in 1806. J. Johnson, in St. Paul's Church-Yard unknown books

30964Paris & Genève J. J. Paschoud 1809. 3 vol. 120 x 195 mm de 424 395 et 392 p. Demi-veau brun dos ornés de fleurons à froid et roulettes dorées pièces de titre et de tomaison tranches jaunes mouchetées reliure légèrement postérieure. . Édition originale de la traduction française. . Au début des années 1790 le philosophe anglais William Godwin expose un « principe de population ». Réagissant principalement à la thèse alors développée par Godwin Malthus fait alors paraître la première édition de son Essai sur le principe de population un pamphlet qui paraît - anonymement - en 1798. Il y substitue en 1803 ce qui se veut un traité plus scientifique dans lequel il se réfère aussi à quatre autres sources importantes : Of the Populousness of Ancient Nations de David Hume A Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind de Robert Wallace Observations on Reversionary Payments de Richard Price et An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations d'Adam Smith. Deux ans après cette parution l'Essai fait l'objet d'une traduction partielle par le Suisse Pierre Prévost qui fut professeur de physique et de philosophie à l'Université de Genève. Certains chapitres sont intégralement traduits tandis que d'autres ne le sont que partiellement. Prévost accompagne sa traduction de notes et commentaires personnels ; encouragé par Malthus il fait paraître en 1809 à Paris et à Genève cette nouvelle édition la première complète donnée d'après la dernière établie par Malthus en 1807 la quatrième édition anglaise. « Malthus m'a même autorisé en conséquence à y faire les changements que j'estimerais nécessaires. Je n'ai pas abusé de cette permission. Je me suis prescrit au contraire de faire connaître l'ouvrage de M. Malthus tel qu'il l'a lui-même publié. L'appendice est la seule partie où j'ai fait des retranchements et quelques modifications sans les indiquer en détail ; parce que les objections que l'auteur y discute m'ont paru quelquefois trop faibles ou trop particulières pour mériter d'être exposées et réfutées dans une traduction avec autant d'étendue qu'elles le sont dans l'original. Mais j'ai supprimé certains morceaux et même des chapitres entiers qui s'écartent un peu du sujet principal ou qui sont trop immédiatement relatifs à l'Angleterre. » « L'Essai du révérend Malthus causa en 1798 un véritable choc idéologique dans une Angleterre en crise traumatisée par la Révolution française. Ce texte contient la première formulation - inchangée dans les cinq éditions suivantes - du principe de population. Avancée fondamentale ce principe affirme que les vitesses de croissance de la population et des subsistances sont très différents la première augmentant plus rapidement que la seconde .» INED préface à l'édition critique de 2017. Son analyse des crises de surproduction l'oppose à Jean-Baptiste Say et en fait un précurseur de Keynes - par l'accent qu'il met sur l'insuffisance de la demande - ce dernier soulignant qu'il est « le premier des économistes de Cambridge ».

17791748Original manuscript / ink drawing. c.1779-1788. Pen and ink portrait of Jean Jacques Rousseau in the garden at Ermenonville titled beneath "venant d'herboriser dans les Jardins d'Ermenonville au mois de Juin 1778" along with a printed version of the image signed Mayer Georg Friedrich Meyer engraved by J. M. Moreau in 1779. Each 15 x 10cm. Accompanied by an ink manuscript letter 10.5 x 8cm headed "Nuneham July 21" presenting the images: "Lord Harcourt sends his compts. to Mr. Malthus and at the request of Mr. le Mqs. de Girardin encloses this portrait of J: J: Rousseau". Contained within the original postal cover addressed to Mr. Daniel Malthus redirected from his London address to Cookham signed at the foot by Harcourt under the parliamentary privilege franking system with additional "free" handstamps to the front panel and further postal markings to the reverse the specific types of postal markings on the cover indicate a date range of 1779-1788. The ink portrait engraved portrait and postal cover all have historical burn marks and associated loss as well as toning and light foxing; the letter remains in good order. A fascinating and intimate gift linking several late eighteenth-century intellectuals all connected to the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau in the form of two portraits of the philosopher one ink one engraved sent from Rousseau's last pupil René de Girardin Marquis of Vauvray 1735-1808 via the radically-inclined politician and gardener George Harcourt 2nd Earl Harcourt 1736-1809 to the father of the famous economist Thomas Malthus Daniel Malthus 1730-1800 himself a friend of Rousseau.</p><p>The present portrait depicts Rousseau in the final weeks of his life 'botanizing' in the garden at Ermenonville the first French landscape garden created by his pupil René de Girardin who here sends the portrait. Ermenonville was itself inspired by Rousseau's ideas created by Girardin as an illustration of his philosophical and social beliefs regarding the place of man in nature. Within the garden Girardin began construction of a house for Rousseau modelled after the "Élysée" of Julie in Rousseau's novel <em>La Nouvelle Héloïse</em>. Rousseau himself visited the garden in May 1778 staying in a small thatched cottage where he remained until his death in July that year. Girardin subsequently made a tomb for Rousseau at Ermenonville which became a destination of pilgrimage for his admirers until his body was re-interred at the Pantheon in Paris in October 1794. Following Rousseau's death Girardin and two other of his friends of prepared a complete edition of his works using the manuscripts of some of his most important writings including <em>Les Confessions </em>and <em>Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire</em> which he had left behind at Ermenonville. This new edition was published in Geneva between 1780 and 1782 and contributed greatly to the spread of Rousseau's ideas throughout France and beyond in the years leading up to the French Revolution.</p><p>The original drawing of Rousseau at Ermenonville was executed by the German artist Georg Friedrich Meyer 1733-1779 who also resided with Girardin at Eremenonville during his final years and where he became well acquainted with Rousseau. Other similar versions of this drawing by Meyer exist one being in the collection of the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco and it is unclear as to whether the present pen and ink drawing is an original work by Meyer or a contemporary copy of the engraving - either way its origin from the hands of Girardin himself provide it with sufficient interest. </p><p>The present two portraits subsequently made their way to the politician George Harcourt 2nd Earl Harcourt previously Viscount Nuneham a supporter of John Wilkes friend of Catherine Macaulay opponent of the war against the American colonies and pioneering garden designer. Here he apparently acted as an intermediary in this distinguished friendship circle sending the pictures on to Daniel Malthus - enlightened gentlemen friend of David Hume and Rousseau and father to Thomas Malthus.</p><p>Daniel Malthus had first become acquainted with Rousseau when he visited him at Môtiers in May 1764. He later invited Rousseau and his wife Thérèse to stay at his estate "The Rookery" near Dorking Surrey during the couple's visit to England in 1766 with Malthus hoping to find them a place to settle nearby. They visited the Malthus home for a day with Hume about three weeks after Thomas's birth but ultimately settled in Derbyshire for the remainder of their visit. Daniel and several family members subsequently went north to visit Rousseau joining him on botanical expeditions - a shared passion. Rousseau and Malthus maintained a lifelong correspondence and botanical exchange with the pair enthusiastically swapping English and French literature botanical specimens and philosophical musings. Later in life Rousseau would divide his personal herbarium among his friends sending parts of it to Daniel who also ultimately purchased his botanical library.</p><p>Daniel Malthus was - like Girardin - a dedicated Rousseauist using like many enlightened families of the period Rousseau's <em>Émile</em> as a guide to the education of his children; as he described in a letter to Rousseau of 1768 his children botanized in their local area went on nature walks carried out farm work and conducted their own little experiments. Indeed in his last known letter to Rousseau he declared "if I am ever known it will be as the friend of Rousseau". He would however ultimately be best known by his progeny Thomas who would go on to famously argue against the writings of the thinkers who proclaimed humanity's perfectibility preferred by his father including Rousseau William Godwin and the Marquis de Condorcet. Regardless of this Daniel keenly supported his adult son's endeavours with Thomas's earlier unorthodox education itself also having played a key role in shaping his knowledge of natural law and mathematics.

1836ELTinMAL26London: William Pickering 1836. 1836. 8vo. pp. liv 1 leaf 446. untrimmed & partly unopened in original cloth spine dull & frayed at ends label chipped. Second Enlarged Edition of Malthus's chief contribution to general economic theory in which he explains in particular his differences with Ricardo. ".Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.Except for his theory of saving and investment which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work and even its terminological arrangements point to the First Book of the Wealth of Nations. Only whereas Richardo recoined the doctrine of the Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A.Smith actually used namely the theory of supply and demand.whereas Ricardo's analytic apparatus is geared to the problem of distribution.Malthus.geared his apparatus to the analysis of the whole economic process.Therefore Malthus should.stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor or rather as one of the sponsors of the victorious one." Schumpeter This edition enlarged with additions from Malthus's own manuscript was published two years after the author's death and includes William Otter's important Memoir pp. xiii-liv one of the chief original authorities for James Bonar's Malthus and His Work 1886.

Malthus came to prominence for his publication of the present work first published in 1798. Between 1798 and 1826 Malthus published six versions of the essay updating each edition to incorporate new material to address criticism and to convey changes in his own perspectives on the subject. Writing in response to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Godwin specifically their approaches to the improvement of society Malthus opposed the optimistic view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible. Malthus saw population growth as inevitable whenever conditions improved thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man." Malthus laid the "theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate both scientifically and ideologically on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries" Daoud. He remains a much-debated writer.<br/> <br/> Shaw 17975; Daoud Ade "Robbins and Malthus on scarcity abundance and sufficiency: The missing sociocultural element" in American Journal of Economics and Sociology 69.4: 1206-1229; Harvey David "Population Resources and the Ideology of Science"in Economic Geography 503: 256277.
