Malthus, Thomas Robert [TR] T R
An Essay on the Principle of Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society.
London: J. Johnson 1798. First edition of this cornerstone text of modern economics. Octavo bound in three quarters calf. Laid in is a clipping from an original manuscript signed by Malthus and entirely in his hand which reads in part "If at one time such a given product would make an effectual demand for certain commodities the conditions of the supply of which are supposed to remain the same it would immediately cease to make such effectual." Signed by Malthus in the lower right corner "Malthus." The verso features two further partial lines of text relating to supply and demand. In near fine condition. First editions of Malthus' magnum opus are exceptionally scarce. “Malthus was one of the founders of modern economics. His Essay was originally the product of a discussion on the perfectibility of society with his father who urged him to publish. Thus the first edition published anonymously was essentially a fighting tract but later editions were considerably altered and grew bulkier as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics… The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early 19th-century Europe and his influence on social policy was considerable… Both Darwin and Wallace clearly acknowledged Malthus as a source of the idea of ‘the struggle for existence†PMM 251.

MALTHUS, Thomas Robert
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 theevils which it occasions.
London T. Bensley for J. Johnson 1806. . Third edition 2 vols 8vo xvi 501 63; vii 559 pp. contemporary tree calf gilt red morocco labels some pale foxing a very good set.<br /> The first two-volume edition. Contains important additions and corrections to the earlier editions including replies to his critics.<br /><br />'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.<br /><br />'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.<br /> Garrison-Morton 1693; Goldsmiths' 19210; Kress B5067; Cf. PMM 251. London, T.

MALTHUS, T R
An Essay on the Principle of Population;
<p>HANDSOME COPY IN CONTEMPORARY BOLDLY SPECKLED CALF<br />2 vols. tall 8vo. iii-xvi 580; iii-viii 484 58 indexpp. contemporary boldly speckled calf smooth spines richly decorated in gilt in panels using two different designs black lettering and russet numbering labels gilt board edges gilt rolled spines a trifle chaffed at headbands some cracking at ends of some joints but overall a very nice copy.<br />Near contemporary pencilled shelf number "D198" of Lord Dunraven of Adare Manor Co. Limerick on endpaper.<br /><br />KRESS B5219<br />This is edition incorporates the substantial revisions and additions which Malthus had made for his third edition of 1806. They are listed and described in full in his preliminary 'Advertisement' to that edition also printed here. The most substantial of the changes made was that "The chapters which were the fourth and sixth of the second book are nearly rewritten on account of an error into which the author had fallen in an attempt to estimate the fruitfulness of marriages and the number born living to be married from the data in registers" 'Advertisement'. Furthermore he added as an appendix here vol.2 p.429-484 his important Reply to the Chief Objections to the second edition of 1803. This appendix he had also published separately in quarto "for the accomodation of the purchasers of the former edition" 'Advertisement'.Malthus recommends that "those who have not the leisure or inclination to read the entire work will find in the appendix such notice of its most prominent arguments as will give them a good general idea of the aim and bent of the whole". In it he writes "My object is to correct some of the misrepresentations which have gone abroad respecting two or three of the most important points of the Essay. . The first grand objection that has been made to my principles is that they contradict the original command of the Creator to increase and multiply and replenish the earth . The next grand objection which has been urged against me is my denial of the right of the poor to support. . and lastly and rather a matter of feeling than of argument. Many persons have accused him of excessive pessimism in throwing a darker shade over our views of human nature and tending particularly to narrow our prospects of future improvement". All of these objections he attempts to refute.<br />From the library of Edwin R. W. Wyndham-Quin Viscount Adare F.R.S. of Adare Manor Co. Limerick.</p> Printed for J. Johnson .. by T.

MALTHUS, Thomas Robert
An Essay on the Principle of Population; or A View of Its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness;
London: for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1806. The foundation text of modern demography Third edition the first edition to be published in two octavo volumes the format which was to remain the standard in Malthus's lifetime. This third edition has important alterations and additions particularly the appendix in which Malthus replied to some of his many critics; it follows the first edition of 1798 in a single octavo volume and the expanded second edition in quarto in 1803. Malthus's treatise on population is one of the most important and influential works in the history of economic thought and the foundation text of modern demography. "For today's readers living in a post-Malthus era the world's population problems are well known and serious but no longer sensational. It is difficult therefore to appreciate the radical and controversial impact made by the Essay at the time of publication. It challenged the conventional notion that population growth is an unmixed blessing. It discussed prostitution contraception and other sexual matters. And it gave vivid descriptions of the horrendous consequences of overpopulation and of the brutal means by which populations are checked" ODNB. Despite its unpopularity with liberal critics Malthus's principle of population became accepted as a central tenet of classical political economy and Charles Darwin acknowledged Malthus's influence in the development of his theory of natural selection. 2 vols octavo 209 x 128 mm. Bound without half-titles. Recent half calf red morocco label marbled sides. A few contemporary annotations in vol. II. Repairs to closed tears at head of A7 and A8 into text without loss slight sporadic spotting light dampstaining at lower outer corner of vol. II towards rear. A very good copy.

MALTHUS, Thomas Robert
An Essay on the Principle of Population; or a View of its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness;
London: printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. A classic of economic thought significantly expanded The Great Quarto edition notionally the second edition of the Essay on Population published in 1798 but so substantially enlarged rewritten and re-titled as to be a new book. "In 1803 Malthus published a greatly expanded second edition of the Essay incorporating details of the population checks that had been in operation in many different countries and periods. Although nominally a second edition it was regarded by Malthus as a substantially new work. He did not claim originality for the idea that population tends to outrun the food supply. In the preface to the second edition he stated that in writing the first edition he had deduced the principle of population from the writings of David Hume Robert Wallace Adam Smith and Richard Price but that in the intervening period he had become aware that much more had been published on the subject. He nevertheless believed that even more remained to be done especially in describing the means by which populations are checked and in drawing out the practical implications of the principle of population. In the second edition he 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' Essay on the Principle of Population 1st edition 1798 p. iv and 'to soften some of the harshest conclusions of the first essay' 2nd edition 1803 p. vii by arguing that moral restraint if supported by an education emphasizing the immorality of bringing children into the world without the means of supporting them would tend to increase rather than diminish individual happiness" ODNB. Quarto. Uncut in the original boards manuscript lettering to spine. Housed in a custom solander box with red label. Neat 20th-century ownership label to front pastedown. Joints and corners worn some expert reconsolidation to binding horizontal tear to head of title neatly repaired without loss and short vertical tear to lower margin of the same; a very good copy.

MALTHUS, T R
An Essay on the Principle of Population or a View of its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness. 3 vols. - FIFTH EDITION OF "AN ESSAY ON THE PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION"
London John Murray 1817. 8vo. Bound in three nice uniform contemporary half calf with five raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. Spines with wear. Front board and spine detached from book-block on volume 1. Ex-libris pasted on to pasted down front free end-paper on all three volumes. A fine set. <br/><br/><em>The fifth 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.This present fifth edition contain several important additions price of grain and the third chapter of Book III was completely rewritten. 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.

MALTHUS, Thomas Robert [1766-1834]
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
London: Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. Book. Very Good. Full Leather. Second Edition. Large Quarto. 26.5 cm x 21 cm. Pp. viii 3 contents 1 errata 610. Bound in contemporary diced calf bordered by double gilt rules artfully rebacked to style with corners restored spine divided into 6 compartments with central blind-stamped ornaments flanked by narrow gilts rules dog tooth rolls and dotted lines between raised bands gilt titled direct marbled endpapers speckled edges. Endpapers and title a bit foxed title and facing blank with brown spotting to inner margin almost certainly caused by pressed foliage but otherwise a very clean copy internally with only an occasional hint of marginal foxing in a handsome and well-preserved binding. The Second Edition known as the Great Quarto Edition of Malthus's famous treatise on population. This edition was so substantially revised and enlarged from the anonymously published essay of 1798 that the author himself considered it almost a new work. The original essay was essentially a polemical tract designed as a corrective to the utopian views of Condorcet and Godwin regarding the perfectibity of society. Malthus argued that progress of society will always be hindered by the tendency of the population to increase faster than the means of subsistence. While populations increase geometrically food production only increases arithmetically resulting in hardship and starvation for the lowest ranks of society. In the vastly enlarged 1803 edition the product of five years of research and travel on the European continent Malthus addresses the many misconceptions and criticisms of his original essay by presenting a far more thorough and balanced statement of his views. He begins the work with a lengthy historical analysis of the working out of his theory in many different types of societies throughout the world from ancient times to the present. By fleshing out his ideas with factual examples he claims to give his work in his own words "a more practical and permanent interest". As the extended title of the second edition indicates the last half of Malthus's work is devoted to an issue barely touched upon in the earlier essay namely the measures and expedients that may be taken by society to mitigate or eliminate the suffering resulting from population pressures. Here he softens the harshness of his original conclusion that the only checks on population consist in "misery or vice" i.e. famine and disease or homosexuality and abortion by proposing a number of preventive measures that should be taken in the form of education for the lower classes reform of the poor laws and "moral restraint" i.e. abstinence and delayed childbearing in order to avoid the ruinous consequences of over-population. Malthus's theory of population though later qualified by technological advances in food production and birth control remains one of the most influential works in the history of social and economic thought. Most importantly it served to call public attention to population as a major factor in the progress of civilisation and through its emphasis on social competition for scarce resources "the struggle for existence" provided the critical impetus for Darwin and Wallace's theory of natural selection.
