‎Rare first German 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. It is the first translation of the ""Principle on Population"" into any language, and it influenced German politics tremendously.The first edition was printed anonymously in London in 1798, and in 1803 the second edition, which, also according to Malthus himself, can be said to constitute a new work, appeared"" -the great quarto edition from 1803 is thoroughly revised and much enlarged, the title has been changed and Malthus' name appears on the title-page for the first time, it is on this edition that all the preceding editions are based, and in consequence also the early translations. All the later editions were minor revisions of the second one. In 1806 the third edition appeared, and as soon as 1807 the first German one, which is translated from the revised third edition (""Die gegenwärtige Uebersetzung ist nach der dritten Ausgabe, Oktav, London 1806. Die Quartausgabe ist minder vollständig"", Vorwort, p. V). New revisions of the text kept appearing till the sixth edition in 1826. 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). Printing and the Mind of Man 251 (first edition).‎

‎INK PORTRAIT OF ROUSSEAU SENT FOLLOWING HIS DEATH BY HIS LAST PUPIL TO THE FATHER OF THOMAS MALTHUS‎

‎Original manuscript / ink drawing. c.1779-1788. Pen and ink portrait of Jean Jacques Rousseau in the garden at Ermenonville titled beneath "venant d'herboriser dans les Jardins d'Ermenonville au mois de Juin 1778" along with a printed version of the image signed Mayer Georg Friedrich Meyer engraved by J. M. Moreau in 1779. Each 15 x 10cm. Accompanied by an ink manuscript letter 10.5 x 8cm headed "Nuneham July 21" presenting the images: "Lord Harcourt sends his compts. to Mr. Malthus and at the request of Mr. le Mqs. de Girardin encloses this portrait of J: J: Rousseau". Contained within the original postal cover addressed to Mr. Daniel Malthus redirected from his London address to Cookham signed at the foot by Harcourt under the parliamentary privilege franking system with additional "free" handstamps to the front panel and further postal markings to the reverse the specific types of postal markings on the cover indicate a date range of 1779-1788. The ink portrait engraved portrait and postal cover all have historical burn marks and associated loss as well as toning and light foxing; the letter remains in good order. A fascinating and intimate gift linking several late eighteenth-century intellectuals all connected to the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau in the form of two portraits of the philosopher one ink one engraved sent from Rousseau's last pupil René de Girardin Marquis of Vauvray 1735-1808 via the radically-inclined politician and gardener George Harcourt 2nd Earl Harcourt 1736-1809 to the father of the famous economist Thomas Malthus Daniel Malthus 1730-1800 himself a friend of Rousseau.</p><p>The present portrait depicts Rousseau in the final weeks of his life 'botanizing' in the garden at Ermenonville the first French landscape garden created by his pupil René de Girardin who here sends the portrait. Ermenonville was itself inspired by Rousseau's ideas created by Girardin as an illustration of his philosophical and social beliefs regarding the place of man in nature. Within the garden Girardin began construction of a house for Rousseau modelled after the "Élysée" of Julie in Rousseau's novel <em>La Nouvelle Héloïse</em>. Rousseau himself visited the garden in May 1778 staying in a small thatched cottage where he remained until his death in July that year. Girardin subsequently made a tomb for Rousseau at Ermenonville which became a destination of pilgrimage for his admirers until his body was re-interred at the Pantheon in Paris in October 1794. Following Rousseau's death Girardin and two other of his friends of prepared a complete edition of his works using the manuscripts of some of his most important writings including <em>Les Confessions </em>and <em>Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire</em> which he had left behind at Ermenonville. This new edition was published in Geneva between 1780 and 1782 and contributed greatly to the spread of Rousseau's ideas throughout France and beyond in the years leading up to the French Revolution.</p><p>The original drawing of Rousseau at Ermenonville was executed by the German artist Georg Friedrich Meyer 1733-1779 who also resided with Girardin at Eremenonville during his final years and where he became well acquainted with Rousseau. Other similar versions of this drawing by Meyer exist one being in the collection of the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco and it is unclear as to whether the present pen and ink drawing is an original work by Meyer or a contemporary copy of the engraving - either way its origin from the hands of Girardin himself provide it with sufficient interest. </p><p>The present two portraits subsequently made their way to the politician George Harcourt 2nd Earl Harcourt previously Viscount Nuneham a supporter of John Wilkes friend of Catherine Macaulay opponent of the war against the American colonies and pioneering garden designer. Here he apparently acted as an intermediary in this distinguished friendship circle sending the pictures on to Daniel Malthus - enlightened gentlemen friend of David Hume and Rousseau and father to Thomas Malthus.</p><p>Daniel Malthus had first become acquainted with Rousseau when he visited him at Môtiers in May 1764. He later invited Rousseau and his wife Thérèse to stay at his estate "The Rookery" near Dorking Surrey during the couple's visit to England in 1766 with Malthus hoping to find them a place to settle nearby. They visited the Malthus home for a day with Hume about three weeks after Thomas's birth but ultimately settled in Derbyshire for the remainder of their visit. Daniel and several family members subsequently went north to visit Rousseau joining him on botanical expeditions - a shared passion. Rousseau and Malthus maintained a lifelong correspondence and botanical exchange with the pair enthusiastically swapping English and French literature botanical specimens and philosophical musings. Later in life Rousseau would divide his personal herbarium among his friends sending parts of it to Daniel who also ultimately purchased his botanical library.</p><p>Daniel Malthus was - like Girardin - a dedicated Rousseauist using like many enlightened families of the period Rousseau's <em>Émile</em> as a guide to the education of his children; as he described in a letter to Rousseau of 1768 his children botanized in their local area went on nature walks carried out farm work and conducted their own little experiments. Indeed in his last known letter to Rousseau he declared "if I am ever known it will be as the friend of Rousseau". He would however ultimately be best known by his progeny Thomas who would go on to famously argue against the writings of the thinkers who proclaimed humanity's perfectibility preferred by his father including Rousseau William Godwin and the Marquis de Condorcet. Regardless of this Daniel keenly supported his adult son's endeavours with Thomas's earlier unorthodox education itself also having played a key role in shaping his knowledge of natural law and mathematics.

‎His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer London. 9 February no year . 1p. 8vo. In poor condition aged and worn with loss to edges and holing around the signature. Begins with manuscript text in square brackets: 'The -9 Day of ffebry <.> Received by me Daniel Malthus Execd as P Margin Of the Right Honourable Robert Earl of Northampton One of the Four Tellers of His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer the Sum of Fifty Pounds .'. The annuity has been raised on 'Rates and Duties upon all Wines imported into Great Britain and for raising a certain Sum of Money for the Service of the year 1745'. According to T. R. Malthus's entry in the Oxford DNB his father 'being an only son of seven children appears to have inherited considerable wealth and property and these independent means enabled him to travel and to cultivate his literary artistic theatrical and scientific interests. He entered Queen's College Oxford in 1747 but did not graduate. He was an admirer of Rousseau who once visited The Rookery when Malthus was an infant. He was said to have published some literary pieces anonymously but the statement by an obituarist that he had translated works from French and German was firmly contradicted by Malthus. He supported the views of the marquis de Condorcet and William Godwin on the perfectibility of mankind but also encouraged his son's publication of opposing views. Aspects of his behaviour—for example the unconventional education he chose for Malthus and his refusal to allow his wife to wear her wedding ring—were regarded as eccentric and perhaps show the influence of Rousseau. He married on 6 May 1752 Henrietta Catherine Graham 1733–1800 his second cousin the daughter of Daniel Graham 1695–1778 apothecary to George II and George III. She can be seen as a young girl with her brother and two sisters in Hogarth's painting The Graham Children 1742 now in the National Gallery London.

‎The Great Quarto-edition of Malthus' milestone work, the first and most influential book on population. Although being the second edition, after the anonymously printed first of 1798, it is so significantly altered, revised, and expanded that it is considered a new work rather than a new edition. Malthus himself also thought of it as such. It is nearly four times the length of the 1798 essay, the title has been changed (the title of the first: ""An Essay on the Principle of Population, as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society with Remarks on the Speculation of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Other Writers""), and it is published with Mathus' name as the author, not anonymously. All later editions were minor revisions of this heavily expanded and altered second one. ""In the course of this inquiry, I found that much more had been done, than I had been aware of, when I first published the essay. The poverty and misery arising from a too rapid increase of population, had been distinctly seen, and the most violent remedies proposed, so long ago as the times of Plato and Aristotle. And of late years, the subject had been treated in such a manner, by some of the French economists, occasionally by Montesquieu, and, among our own writers, by Dr. Franklin, Sir James Steuart, Mr. Arthur Young, and Mr. Townsend, as to create a natural surprise, that it had not excited more of the publick attention"" (Preface to the second edition, p. IV). The controversial views, because of which the work became so influential, are most provocative and eyeopening in the second edition, in which Malthus for instance for the first time advocates moral restraint (meaning sexual abstinence and late marriage) and elaborately explains his comparison between the increase of population and food. ""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). Malthus was, naturally, condemned by Marx and Engels, and opposed by the socialists universally, but the work had an enormous impact on not only politics, economics, and social sciences, but also on natural sciences. For instance, both Darwin and Wallace considered Malthus a main source in their development of the theory of natural selection, considering him a great philosopher and his Essay on Population one of the most important books ever. ""Malthus’s idea of man’s ""Struggle for existence"" had decisive influence on Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Other scientists related this idea to plants and animals which helped to define a piece of the evolutionary puzzle. This struggle for existence of all creatures is the catalyst by which natural selection produces the ""survival of the fittest""... Thanks to Malthus, Darwin recognised the significance of intraspecies competition between populations of the same species (e.g. the lamb and the lamb), not just interspecies competition between species (e.g. the lion and the lamb). Malthusian population thinking also explained how an incipient species could become a full-blown species in a very short timeframe."" The second edition must be considered the most important of all the editions. This is far more a work on the problems of over-population than it is a response to Godwin and Condorcet on their works (whic is the main concern of the first edition). ""Not so much shocked by his own conclusions, in his ""Essay on Population"" (first ed. 1798), as driven by a naturally inquiring mind, he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published a second edition (1803)."" (Catlin, A History of the Political Philosophers, 1939, p. 377). PMM 251 (first edition).‎

‎Réimpression de la 1ère édition de l'ouvrage de Malthus – parue sans nom d'auteur –, qui fit scandale en Angleterre. — "Malthus est le père d'une doctrine, le malthusianisme, dont le nom est connu à la fois des savants et du grand public, mais dont le contenu est ignoré de la plupart. Il devenait urgent d'éditer la traduction française de son Essai sur le principe de population. Remarquons que les précédentes traductions, datant du siècle dernier, furent faites sur les éditions ultérieures d'un ouvrage dont le titre commence par les mêmes mots mais qui est en réalité totalement différent de celui qui nous occupe. Nous lisons donc ici la première traduction du premier Essai que Malthus publia en 1798, sans nom d'auteur. Il s'agit d'un pamphlet provocant qui fit scandale, tandis que le second Essai, paru en 1803, est un traité d'allure scientifique, une sociologie de la population. Or, ce pamphlet philosophique incorpore en germe la théorie de la population qui allait être développée plus tard. Les principes de base sont déjà énoncés dans les premiers chapitres : la population s'accroît en progression géométrique, les subsistances en progression arithmétique; la difficulté de se nourrir forme un frein puissant ; le vice et la misère freinent la multiplication de la population ; le principe de population empêche la perfectibilité de la société; les lois des pauvres multiplient la pauvreté..."

‎A Paris et à Genève, chez J.J. Pashoud, 1809, in-8, 3 vol. de I : 424-[6] pp. + II: [4]-395-[3] pp. + III : [6]-392-[5] pp, Demi-veau de l'époque, dos lisses filetés ornés en doré de roulettes et fers rocaille, Première traduction française, très augmentée par Pierre Prévost, pour qui l'ouvrage magistral de Malthus "a pour objet principal de diriger la bienveillance, vertu familière". Thomas-Robert Malthus (1766-1834) avec un siècle d'avance annonçait le principe qui sera repris par Keynes, de la demande effective opposée à la loi des débouchés. Publié originellement en anglais de façon anonyme en 1798, cet essai phare de la pensée économique et démographique du XIXe siècle instaure une réflexion sur le rapport entre le développement de la population et celui des subsistances qui amène à la conclusion que ce sont les salaires qui déterminent le chiffre de la population. Le second thème essentiel de la pensée malthusienne est sa critique du système anglais de lois sur les pauvres (Poor Laws) qui, selon lui, amplifie la pauvreté de manière générale. Excellent exemplaire en jolie reliure de l'époque, dos très légèrement frottés, petit accroc en tête d'une coiffe. Couverture rigide‎

‎MALTHUS‎

‎Essai sur le principe de population.‎

‎Un des ouvrages les plus influents de l'histoire de la pensée économique Paris & Genève, J. J. Paschoud, 1809. 3 vol. (120 x 195 mm) de 424, 395 et 392 p. Demi-veau brun, dos ornés de fleurons à froid et roulettes dorées, pièces de titre et de tomaison, tranches jaunes mouchetées (reliure légèrement postérieure). Édition originale de la traduction française.‎

‎Au début des années 1790, le philosophe anglais William Godwin expose un « principe de population ». Réagissant principalement à la thèse alors développée par Godwin, Malthus fait alors paraître la première édition de son Essai sur le principe de population, un pamphlet qui paraît - anonymement - en 1798. Il y substitue en 1803 ce qui se veut un traité plus scientifique, dans lequel il se réfère aussi à quatre autres sources importantes : Of the Populousness of Ancient Nations de David Hume, A Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind de Robert Wallace, Observations on Reversionary Payments de Richard Price et An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations d'Adam Smith. Deux ans après cette parution, l'Essai fait l'objet d'une traduction partielle par le Suisse Pierre Prévost, qui fut professeur de physique et de philosophie à l'Université de Genève. Certains chapitres sont intégralement traduits, tandis que d'autres ne le sont que partiellement. Prévost accompagne sa traduction de notes et commentaires personnels ; encouragé par Malthus, il fait paraître en 1809 à Paris et à Genève cette nouvelle édition, la première complète, donnée d'après la dernière établie par Malthus en 1807 (la quatrième édition anglaise). « [Malthus] m'a même autorisé en conséquence à y faire les changements que j'estimer[a]is nécessaires. Je n'ai pas abusé de cette permission. Je me suis prescrit au contraire de faire connaître l'ouvrage de M. Malthus, tel qu'il l'a lui-même publié. L'appendice est la seule partie où j'ai fait des retranchements et quelques modifications, sans les indiquer en détail ; parce que les objections que l'auteur y discute m'ont paru quelquefois trop faibles ou trop particulières, pour mériter d'être exposées et réfutées dans une traduction, avec autant d'étendue qu'elles le sont dans l'original. Mais j'ai supprimé certains morceaux et même des chapitres entiers, qui s'écartent un peu du sujet principal ou qui sont trop immédiatement relatifs à l'Angleterre. » « L'Essai du révérend Malthus causa, en 1798, un véritable choc idéologique dans une Angleterre en crise, traumatisée par la Révolution française. Ce texte contient la première formulation - inchangée dans les cinq éditions suivantes - du principe de population. Avancée fondamentale, ce principe affirme que les vitesses de croissance de la population et des subsistances sont très différents, la première augmentant plus rapidement que la seconde .» (INED, préface à l'édition critique de 2017). Son analyse des crises de surproduction l'oppose à Jean-Baptiste Say et en fait un précurseur de Keynes - par l'accent qu'il met sur l'insuffisance de la demande - , ce dernier soulignant qu'il est « le premier des économistes de Cambridge ». Rare première traduction française de cette référence majeure dans l'histoire des idées. Bon exemplaire. De la bibliothèque Antoine Larue, avec ex-libris.
