The author turns his attention first to pointing out the irrefutability of the biological tendency as Malthus has shown it and the necessity which devolves upon political economy to recognize it as a fundamental law. Lebrecht does not ignore the objections raised by various writers against this tendency; on the contrary he estimates them with praiseworthy impartiality; yet after careful examination he believes that they are not destructive of the theory.He does not deny that the coefficient of procreation is essentially economic and that poverty is one of its potent factors; yet he affirms that the prolific action of poverty can be remedied by moral influences. From a review of the book by Achille Loria and Cornelia H. B. Rogers in "Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science Vol. 4 May 1894 p. 134.<p>Rare.

His invention was regarded as the greatest improvement to the planing machine to date allowing one to perform what had then required 25 laborers to do. Having little funds to take advantage of his patent he sold all but a portion of the rights to a syndicate consisting of Samuel Schenck John Gibson and Samuel Pitts who bought out his partner James Strong in the process. After making minor improvements to the machine Woodworth applied for and was granted a new patent in 1836. After his death in 1839 the patent passed on to his son William W. Woodworth with Jason G. Wilson and Edward Bloomer and they went on to request an extension to the patent in 1842 and again in 1845. Although the patent office initially rejected this last extension the patent owners bribed members of Congress and the patent was not only renewed but now expanded to include the Uri Emmons' patent which had expired in 1829. Tired of paying such a large royalty lumber merchants and carpenters started one of the earliest community organizing campaigns in the country in opposition to the extension of the patent which they considered as granting a monopoly to the patent holders. A firestorm of protest ensued when William W. Woodworth sought yet another extension in 1850 and an article in a 1852 issue of Scientific American proclaimed that the "public are now paying fifteen millions of dollars a year for work done by the Woodworth machines" arguing that other machines could do the same for only 3 million. This time the extension was denied and the patent was allowed to expire in 1856.</p><p>RARE.</p> [Washington, D.C.] (Hamilton, Printer), (1852). paperback
