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.
