37691J. Murray. 1827. First Edition 4to xxxvi 227 1pp. 22 lithograph plates Malthus essay running from page 171-180; orig. boards covers detached lacks spine uncut unopened internally a nice clean copy. Malthus's first essay to the Royal Society of Literature in which he explains his theory of the source or cause of exchangeable value. As Patricia James in her biography of Malthus explains 'Anyone wishing to understand Malthus's doctrine that the of a commodity is composed of labour and profit these short essays can be recommended for their comparative simplicity. As is often the case enlightenment comes from a footnote - in this instance at the beginning of the first paper with Malthus's italics:- "The natural and necessary conditions of the supply of commodities are precisely the same as the natural and necessary costs of production when reduced to the simplest elements; but I have preferred the former expression because the term cost if not well guarded is too apt to convey the idea of Money expenditure."' The second paper On the Meaning which is most usually and most correctly attached to the term 'Value of a Commodity' was read two years later on the 7th November 1827. J. Murray. 1827 hardcover

180912840Paris and Geneva: Chez J.J. Paschoud 1809. 3 volumes. First Edition in French. Provenance: With the contemporary engraved bookplate of H. Trouchin and that of the subsequent owner Pierre Sciclounoff. 8vo very handsomely bound in a fine French binding of contemporary half calf over speckled boards spines with gilt ruled bands red morocco title label and green morocco volume label lettered in gilt. xxiii 424 3 ad; 395 3; 392. A very fine and handsome set very clean and sturdy in absolutely period state. The first French edition of Malthus’ landmark work. The translation from the English is by Pierre Prevost probably from the third English edition which was corrected and expanded by Malthus. French editions of Malthus are uncommon and this set is in exceptional condition in its original and contemporary state.<br> Originally written in response to a discussion with the author's father on the perfectibility of society the book was reprinted several times with many alterations and additions as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics.<br> "The central idea of the essay--and the hub of Malthusian theory--was a simple one. The population of a community Malthus suggested increases geometrically while food supplies increase only arithmetically. 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 recognized 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 production of children by the postponement of marriage. This was the solution to the population problem that Malthus advocated. The 'Essay' was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe" PMM. Marx Engels Paley Darwin Wallace Keynes and Ricardo were all influenced by Malthus--either working off his ideas or reacting against them. Chez J.J. Paschoud hardcover

"The Principles had only a limited impact at the time. more recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by J. M. Keynes in the 1930s. Keynes argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove the world would be a much wiser and richer place." ODNB. Goldsmiths 22767.
