71831E-090. Very Good. Hardcover. Leather. 8vo. Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley London UK. 1806. Two Volumes xvi 505 pgs; vii 559 pgs. Third Edition. Bound in gilt ruled fine calf leather with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities boards are lightly rubbed and worn. Previous owner's bookplate present to the front pastedown. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Third edition the first to be published in 2 volumes and the first published after the Great Quarto edition of 1803 of one of the most important and influential books in the history of economic thought. The third edition contained numerous revisions among which was a text entitled A Reply to the Chief Objections which have been urged against the Essay on the Principle of Population which was also published separately so that it might be bound with earlier ones. As the world's population continues to grow at a frighteningly rapid rate Malthus's classic warning against overpopulation gains increasing importance. An Essay on the Principle of Population examines the tendency of human numbers to outstrip their resources and argues that checks in the form of poverty disease and starvation are necessary to keep societies from moving beyond their means of subsistence. Malthus's simple but powerful argument was controversial in his time; today his name has become a byword for active concern about humankind's demographic and ecological prospects. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . 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."

II endleaves and some prelims foxed but otherwise internally free from soil: Good or better. <br /> <br /> The fourth edition of Malthus' widely influential discussion of overpopulation. Malthus 1766-1834 argued that population "increases geometrically while food supplies increase only arithmetically" and that some misery was inevitable unless population growth could be restrained. He proposed "moral restraint" as a solution. Many of his theories have now been largely rejected but "the Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe" and "his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable." The first edition was shorter; "later editions were considerably altered and grew bulkier as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics" Printing and the Mind of Man. KRESS B.5219.
