A fine set. <br/><br/><em>The fifth edition of this political and economic classic which constitutes Malthus' first major publication and his main work because of which he is considered the father of demography and one of the main sources of inspiration for Darwin and Wallace.This present fifth edition contain several important additions price of grain and the third chapter of Book III was completely rewritten. The book then as now is considered highly controversial and it has influenced all demographers ever since as well as being of immense importance to the study of economic theory and genetic inheritance. "The "Essay" was highly influential in the progress of thought in the early nineteenth-century Europe. "Parson" Malthus as Cobbett dubbed him was for many a monster and his views were often grossly misinterpreted. But his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable. The Malthusian theory of population came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws and Malthus was a leading spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834." PMM 251.Thomas Robert Malthus 1766-1834 called the "enfant terrible" of the economists was an English demographer statistician and political economist who is best known for his groundbreaking views on population growth presented in his "Essays on the Principle of Population" which is based on his own prediction that population would outrun food supply causing poverty and starvation. Among other things this caused the legislation which lowered the population of the poor in England. Malthus actually turned political economic and social thought upside down with this work which has caused him to be considered one of the 100 most influential persons in history Hart The 100: A Ranking of the most Influential Persons in History 1978. Of course he was condemned by Marx and Engels and opposed by the socialists universally but the work was of immense impact on not only politics economics social sciences etc but also on natural sciences. "Later in the "Origin of Species" he Darwin wrote that the struggle for existence "is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdoms; for in this case there can be no artificial increase of food and no prudential restraint from marriage" p. 63. Alfred Russel Wallace who arrived at a worked-out formulation of the theory of evolution at almost precisely the same time as Darwin acknowledged that "perhaps the most important book I read was Malthus's "Principles of Population" My Life p. 232. Although there were four decennial censuses before Malthus' death he did not himself analyze the data although he did influence Lambert Quetelet and Pierre Verhulst who made precise statistical studies on growth of populations in developed countries and showed how the early exponential growth changed to an S curve." DSB IX p. 69. As Malthus realized that his theories were not satisfactorily presented or sufficiently demonstrated in the first edition from 1798 he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published the second edition in 1803. Among other places he travelled through Northern Germany and his detailed diaries of these journeys provided him with some of the evidence necessary for the development of his theory on population growth. The observational information that he gathered on his travels in Europe were crucial to the development of his theories which also means that the work is of great interest for other European countries and not only Britain. "In 1819 the Royal Society elected Malthus to a fellowship. He was also a member of the French Institute and the Berlin Academy and a founding member of the Statistical Society 1834." DSB IX p. 67.

180321446London: Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. Book. Very Good. Full Leather. Second Edition. Large Quarto. 26.5 cm x 21 cm. Pp. viii 3 contents 1 errata 610. Bound in contemporary diced calf bordered by double gilt rules artfully rebacked to style with corners restored spine divided into 6 compartments with central blind-stamped ornaments flanked by narrow gilts rules dog tooth rolls and dotted lines between raised bands gilt titled direct marbled endpapers speckled edges. Endpapers and title a bit foxed title and facing blank with brown spotting to inner margin almost certainly caused by pressed foliage but otherwise a very clean copy internally with only an occasional hint of marginal foxing in a handsome and well-preserved binding. The Second Edition known as the Great Quarto Edition of Malthus's famous treatise on population. This edition was so substantially revised and enlarged from the anonymously published essay of 1798 that the author himself considered it almost a new work. The original essay was essentially a polemical tract designed as a corrective to the utopian views of Condorcet and Godwin regarding the perfectibity of society. Malthus argued that progress of society will always be hindered by the tendency of the population to increase faster than the means of subsistence. While populations increase geometrically food production only increases arithmetically resulting in hardship and starvation for the lowest ranks of society. In the vastly enlarged 1803 edition the product of five years of research and travel on the European continent Malthus addresses the many misconceptions and criticisms of his original essay by presenting a far more thorough and balanced statement of his views. He begins the work with a lengthy historical analysis of the working out of his theory in many different types of societies throughout the world from ancient times to the present. By fleshing out his ideas with factual examples he claims to give his work in his own words "a more practical and permanent interest". As the extended title of the second edition indicates the last half of Malthus's work is devoted to an issue barely touched upon in the earlier essay namely the measures and expedients that may be taken by society to mitigate or eliminate the suffering resulting from population pressures. Here he softens the harshness of his original conclusion that the only checks on population consist in "misery or vice" i.e. famine and disease or homosexuality and abortion by proposing a number of preventive measures that should be taken in the form of education for the lower classes reform of the poor laws and "moral restraint" i.e. abstinence and delayed childbearing in order to avoid the ruinous consequences of over-population. Malthus's theory of population though later qualified by technological advances in food production and birth control remains one of the most influential works in the history of social and economic thought. Most importantly it served to call public attention to population as a major factor in the progress of civilisation and through its emphasis on social competition for scarce resources "the struggle for existence" provided the critical impetus for Darwin and Wallace's theory of natural selection.
