Contemporary half-brown leather binding; flat spine gilt bands separating compartments compartments 1 3 5 and 6 contain gilt floral decoration compartments 2 and 4 contain gilt lettering including translator's name and title gilt library stamp to both upper boards library stamps to verso of both upper boards and title pages pencil markings to verso of upper boards and endpapers; rubbed water or possibly glue marks to verso of upper boards and endpapers.<br /> Rare first German edition and first translation into a foreign language of this important work by the father of Malthusianism.<br /><br />Malthus' original work written in English was first published anonymously in 1798. It discusses the problem of the gap between population growth which is potentially exponential and the growth of food supply which is not. The work arose from a discussion between Malthus and his father about the possibility of a better society and went on to have an enormous impact on social policy. Ultimately Malthus believed population growth would always outrun food supply and therefore the betterment of society was impossible without stern limits on reproduction. For this reason he is often associated with Darwin. His views became popular again in the XX century largely due to the work of John Maynard Keynes. <br /><br />'The essay exercised a strong influence on European intellectual development at the beginning of the nineteenth century. the Socialists fought him unanimously. and the Conservatives were happy that somebody was fighting against the spread of revolutionary ideas from the continent.' Carter/Muir.<br /><br />Thomas Malthus 1766 - 1834 was born into a family of intellectuals and his father was a great friend of the philosopher David Hume. He took holy orders in 1797 but in 1805 decided to become a professor teaching history and the relatively new subject of political economy at the East India Company college in Haileybury. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1819 and in 1834 founded the Statistical Society of London.<br /> Altona, I. F. Hammerich, 1807. hardcover

1868178<p><strong>Scarce first Russian edition of a major landmark of economic literature the <em>Essay on the Principle of Population</em></strong> first published in English in 1798.</p><p><strong>With much added material.</strong> The translator P. A. Bibikov was a historian philosopher and literary critic who had already translated Smith's Wealth of Nations in 1866. With this background he added a wealth of material to this edition making it more than just a translation but also an a posteriori analysis. Next to the 80 pages on Malthus' life and works Bibikov added in a rich appendix translations of foreign commentators as well as his own footnotes relating to Russia. Very interestingly he updated and commented the many pages Malthus had already devoted to the Russian case. The appendix includes texts by Townsend Garnier Chernyshevskiy and Prudhon as well as a convenient 20-pp. alphabetical index.</p><p>"The central idea of the essay - and hub of the Malthusian theory - was a simple one. If the natural increase in population occurs the food supply becomes insufficient and the size of the population is checked by 'misery' - that is the poorest sections of the community suffer disease and famine. Malthus recognises two other possible checks to population expansion: first 'vice' - that is homosexuality prostitution and abortion all totally unacceptable to Malthus; and second 'moral restraint' - the voluntary limitation of the product of children by the postponement of marriage."
