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.

An Essay on the Principle of Population; or A view of its past and present effects on human happiness; with an inquiry into our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it occasions. By T.R. Malthus A.M. late fellow of Jesus College Cambridge. In two volumes. Vol. I-II. First American edition from the third London edition

180940999Washington City: Roger Chew Weightman 1809. 2 volumes 8vo. 8 1/4 x 5 inches. Vol. 1 xvi 510 xxxiv pp.; Vol. 2 vii 542 pp. Contemporary tree calf skilfully rebacked. Spines gilt ruled forming six compartments lettering pieces in the second compartmenrs Provenance: Possibly John Barclay 1749-1824 former Mayor of Philadelphia from 1791 to 1793 First American edition of a fundamental text of Modern Economics. Thomas Robert Malthus was an English economist cleric and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography. Malthus came to prominence for his publication of the present work first published in 1798. Between 1798 and 1826 Malthus published six versions of the essay updating each edition to incorporate new material to address criticism and to convey changes in his own perspectives on the subject. Writing in response to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Godwin specifically their approaches to the improvement of society Malthus opposed the optimistic view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible. Malthus saw population growth as inevitable whenever conditions improved thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man." Malthus laid the "theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate both scientifically and ideologically on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries" Daoud. He remains a much-debated writer.

An Essay on the Principle of Population; or a view of its past and present effects on human happiness; with an inquiry into our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it occasions. A new edition very much enlarged.

112135London T. Bensley for J. Johnson 1803. . Second edition substantially revised; 4to 27.5 x 22 cm; a few pencil annotations C4 cancelled and signed C3 title neatly tipped on to following leaf small chip lower edge b2 occasional spotting; modern half brown morocco gilt spine in 6 compartments contrasting red morocco lettering-piece very good; viii 4 610pp. The second edition substantially revised and in essence a 'new work' in which Malthus defends his views against a host of critics Preface. '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 increased 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. The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe' PMM. In this enlarged edition Malthus made clear what was only implicit in the first that prudential restraint should if humanly possible be 'moral restraint' that is delayed marriage accompanied by strictly moral pre-marital behaviour although he admitted that moral restraint would not be easy and that there would be occasional failures. Whereas in the first edition he had said that all the checks to population would involve either misery or vice in the second edition he attempted to lighten this 'melancholy hue' first edition p.iv and 'to soften some of the harshest conclusions of the first essay' second edition p.vii by arguing that moral restraint if supported by an education emphasising the immorality of bringing children into the world without the means of supporting them would tend to increase rather than diminish individual happiness. 'His work was an important influence on both Darwin and Wallace in their formulation of the concept of natural selection. It also had a profound influence on the decrease in size of families down to the present time' Garrison-Morton. Cf.PMM 251; Garrison-Morton 1693; Goldsmiths 18640; Kress B.4701. London, T.
