1803143843London: T. Bensley 1803. Rare second edition of this cornerstone text of modern economics. Quarto bound in full diced morocco raised bands gilt titles and tooling to the spine front and rear panels marbled endpapers. In very good condition. An exceptional presentation. “Malthus was one of the founders of modern economics. His Essay was originally the product of a discussion on the perfectibility of society with his father who urged him to publish. Thus the first edition published anonymously was essentially a fighting tract but later editions were considerably altered and grew bulkier as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics… The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early 19th-century Europe and his influence on social policy was considerable… Both Darwin and Wallace clearly acknowledged Malthus as a source of the idea of ‘the struggle for existence†PMM 251.

180345423London: Printed for J. Johnson. by T. Bensley. 1803. Second edition or "A New Edition Very Much Enlarged". 4to. viii iv 610 pp. 19th century half speckled calf over marbled boards gilt rules to the spine gilt lettered green label all edges marbled. Binding expertly resewn and the joints neatly repaired occasional foxing mostly mild an attractive copy. First published anonymously in 1798 Malthus drew upon the works of Hume and Smith amongst others to explain his conservative conception of population control. "The central idea of the essay. was a simple one. The population of a community. increases geometrically while food supplies increase only arithmetically. The 'Essay' was highly influential in the progress of thought in early 19th century Europe. it came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws" - Printing and the Mind of Man 251. Citing examples from other societies and sources not hitherto known to him Malthus rewrote and extended his essay significantly enough for him to consider this an entirely "new work" in his introduction to this edition. He expanded and refined his theory of positive checks on population growth those that increase the death rate and negative ones those that inhibit birth rates slightly softening his tone by arguing for greater moral restraint as opposed to the bleaker and cruder mechanisms of hunger disease and war to keep population numbers down and therefore keep overall prosperity up. Despite being hugely influential in economic and philosophical terms Malthus has always been a divisive figure and his arguments remain controversial to this day. London: Printed for J. Johnson... by T. Bensley... unknown
