1807185282London: Printed for Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1807. Though his theories were so cruel his heart and manners were most kindly and courteous Second edition presented and inscribed by Thomas Malthus: "East India College Awarded to Mr John Trotter at the Public Examination of December 1817 as the first of his Class in Political Economy T. Rob. Malthus". Malthus taught as professor of history and political economy at the East India Company College at Haileybury from 1805 to his death in 1834 training generations of EIC management. Writing many years later a former student recalled "We called him Pop; not in derision for we had a great but rather distant respect for him. Though his theories were so cruel his heart and manners were most kindly and courteous" quoted in Maureen Alexander Turner p. 54. John Trotter 1800-1825 entered the college in 1816 and subsequently joined the EIC; he died seven years later aboard the Royal George just off Penang in Malaya which was then an EIC port. Trotter was the son of Alexander Trotter d. 1842 the financially imaginative paymaster of the Royal Navy. His engraved armorial bookplate is in both volumes; Malthus's ink inscription is on the front free endpaper verso. The History of the Anglo-Saxons by Sharon Turner 1768-1847 was originally published from 1799 to 1805. It quickly became "a powerful influence on historical thought for the succeeding half-century" ODNB and remains acknowledged as a turning point in Anglo-Saxon studies and a benchmark in historiography. Writing with a clear eye on the British Empire of his own day - in which Trotter's East India Company played so prominent a role - Turner presents the Anglo-Saxons as central to the historical development that set England on its imperial course. 2 vols quarto 271 x 213 mm pp. x 499 1; viii 472 8. Large hand-coloured engraved folding map by Neele showing "Territory inhabited by the Ancient Saxons north of the Elbe" as frontispiece of vol. I. Contemporary calf rebacked spines ruled and lettered in gilt covers with double-rule panel in gilt crest of the East India Company College blocked in gilt to centre turn-ins in blind marbled endpapers edges sprinkled in brown and red. Light rubbing extremities neatly restored infrequent damp staining to otherwise clean contents short closed tear to inner margin of folding map: just about a very good copy.

1815172737London: Printed for John Murray and J. Johnson and Co. 1815. Malthusian economics stress-tested First edition presentation copy inscribed in a secretarial hand "From the Author" at the head of the title page. The Grounds of an Opinion is a rare Malthusian argument in favour of economic interventionism supporting the restrictions imposed by the Corn Laws on foreign grain. In his wider work on population and poverty Malthus promoted an essentially laissez-faire approach to political economy. In the Essay on the Principles of Population 1798 for example he rejected poor relief and centralized intervention as fatally detrimental to the work ethic of the poor. The Grounds of an Opinion therefore shocked his circle of Whiggish friends but Malthus justified his deviation on grounds of national security: encouraging domestic production was the only way to ensure self-sufficiency in food within a fickle and changeable continent. Malthus's presentation may have been less effective than he hoped. A leaf of contemporary manuscript notes tipped in after p. 4 records considerable dissatisfaction with Malthus's "most extraordinary assertion". Octavo 208 x 128 mm pp. ii 48; lacking terminal advertisement leaf. Recent brown quarter calf grey paper-covered boards. Infrequent 20th-century pencil annotations to contents. Light foxing vertical tear to title page neatly repaired and upper inner corner replaced: a very good copy. Einaudi 3672; Goldsmiths' 2177; Kress B6535; Mattioli 2214; Sraffa 3690. hardcover
