MALTHUS Thomas R.
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 Occations. A New Edition very much Enlarged
London: Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. Second enlarged edition. Large 4to pp. viii 3contents 1errata 610. Bound in contemporary full calf rebacked at an early time with the original spine laid down. Ownership signature on the endpaper of "N.W. Ridley Colborne" on the endpaper and "Horace W. Baddle 1859" on the top of the title page. Some light intermittant spotting and staining but a nice clean copy with wide margins. Garrison-Morton 1693; Carpenter XXXII 2; Einaudi 3668; Goldsmiths' 18640; Kress B.4701; Mattioli 2207 See Printing and the Mind of Man # 251. The great quarto edition of Malthus' masterpiece a very important work in the field of economics and a source of Darwin's "idea of 'the struggle for existence'" PMM The ReverendThomas Robert Malthus FRS 1766 - 1834 was a British scholar influential in political economy and demography. He has become widely known for his theories concerning population and its increase or decrease in response to various factors. The six editions of his Principles of Population published from 1798 to 1826 observed that sooner or later population gets checked by famine disease and widespread mortality. The central idea is a simple one: that population expands geometrically while food production grows arithmetically. This edition though being the second may be considered as a new work which Malthus himself also claimed; -it is thoroughly revised and much enlarged nearly four times the length of the original essay the title has been changed the title of the first is merely: "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" He notes: "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 "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.

Malthus Thomas Robert
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. J. Johnson unknown books

It was the guiding spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The central point of the Essay is that population increases geometrically while food supplies increase arithmetically which will eventually lead to starvation and disease in the poorest sections of the community. In order to prevent this from happening he posits people especially the poor should have children later in life and limit the size of their families. unknown books

MALTHUS Thomas Robert
Essay on the Principle of Population
The Economics of Population 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 the evils which it occasions. A new edition very much enlarged. London: Printed for J. Johnson. by T. Bensley 1803. Second edition enlarged and revised. Quarto. viii 4 610 pp. Contemporary calf skillfully rebacked to style and with corners renewed. Spine decoratively tooled in gilt compartments with burgundy morocco gilt lettering label. Endpapers renewed. Occasional light foxing. Title-page with publisher's diagonal paper flaw crease. Overall very good. A completely revised and greatly expanded edition of the most influential work on population ever written. Malthus published the first edition of his Essay in 1798 and was apparently unprepared for the torrent of controversy that his ideas provoked. His response to the public outcry was to spend the next five years refining and expanding his theories for this second edition so much so that "in its present shape it may be considered a new work and I should probably have published it as such omitting the few parts of the former which I have retained but that I wished it to form a whole of itself and not to need a continual reference to the other." preface Malthus' basic argument--that population increases geometrically at a greater rate than does the means of subsistence which increases arithmetically--was one of the earliest modern economic and social theories and his contention that it would eventually become necessary for society to impose some form of restraint on over-population provided the premise for heated socio-economic debate for almost two centuries.

MALTHUS Thomas Robert
Principles of Political Economy
"If Only Malthus Instead of Ricardo Had Been the Parent Stem From Which Nineteenth-Century Economics Proceeded What a Much Wiser and Richer Place the World Would be Today" MALTHUS Thomas Robert. Principles of Political Economy. Considered with a View to Their Practical Application. London: John Murray 1820. First edition. Octavo. vi 12-601602. Original boards uncut. With original paper label on spine. Hinges expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Old bookplate from "The Library of Victoria" with no other library markings. A very clean copy internally fine. Very scarce in original boards. Housed in a custom quarter black morocco clamshell gilt-stamped. First edition of Malthus' principal contribution to economic theory. Schumpeter describes Malthus' work in relation to that of his predecessors Adam Smith and Ricardo as follows: "Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.except for his theory of saving and investment which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work and even its terminological arrangements point to the First book of the Wealth of Nations. Only whereas Ricardo recoined the doctrine of Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A. Smith actually used namely the theory of supply and demand.whereas Ricardo's analytic apparatus is geared to the problem of distribution.Malthus. geared his apparatus to the analysis of the whole economic process.Therefore Malthus should.stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor or rather as one of the sponsors of the victorious one." "Although Malthus is best known for the views on population contained in his Essay on Population.there can be no doubt that his importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy 1820. It was because of the latter work that J. M. Keynes reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought". New Palgrave. Cress C577. HBS 66825. $7500 John Murray hardcover books

London: John Murray 1820. First edition of this classic work regarding nature of labor demand and profit. Octavo original boards retaining the original paper spine label. In very good condition. Ownership inscription from the African Society and stamp to the title page. Rare in the original boards. "There can be no doubt that Malthus' importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy. It was because of this latter work that J. M. Keynes 1933 reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought" New Palgrave. "In his 'Principles of Political Economy' Malthus was proposing investment in public work and private luxury as a means of increasing effective demand and hence as a palliative to economic distress. The nation he thought must balance the power to produce and the will to consume" DSB. "The Principles had only a limited impact at the time and was severely criticized by J. R. McCulloch and Ricardo; the latter prepared extensive critical notes. But more recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by J. M. Keynes in the 1930s. Keynes argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove the world would be a much wiser and richer place" ODNB.

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.
Washington: Printed and Published by Roger Chew Weightman 1809. First American edition of this cornerstone text of modern economics. Octavo 2 volumes bound in contemporary calf rebacked red and black morocco spine labels gilt titles. Previous owner's inscription to front free endpaper "An application was made to Bishop Watson to answer this book on the grounds that it discouraged benevolence. He declined excusing himself however unfavorably saying that he saw its object was to prove that population could not increase beyond the level of rules of self-evident truth. A much better employment would have been to discover means of resistance that might supply the increasing wants of the population." Bishop Richard Watson served as the Bishop of Llandaff from 1782 to 1816 and published a number of political pamphlets contributing to the Revolution Controversy regarding the fundamental politics of the French Revolution. Watson corresponded with and published several counterarguments to the works of Thomas Paine and Thomas Robert Malthus among others. In very good condition with some browning to the text as usual sporadic foxing. Rare and desirable. 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 first edition of An Essay on the Principle of Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society was published anonymously by Malthus in 1798 as a pamphlet. The book received wide attention for Malthus's argument that hopes for human happiness are in vain because population will outrun the growth of production. He believed that the human population would continue to grow unchecked resulting in long term human poverty now known as the Malthusian Law of Population. Until this point fertility was viewed as a national imperative and a path to continued economic improvement. This work by Malthus changed the national mindset in Great Britain about childbearing. This work first appeared in book form in 1803 with this copy being the third edition published in 1806. J. Johnson, in St. Paul's Church-Yard unknown books

Malthus's first essay to the Royal Society of Literature in which he explains his theory of the source or cause of exchangeable value.

As is often the case enlightenment comes from a footnote - in this instance at the beginning of the first paper with Malthus's italics:- "The natural and necessary conditions of the supply of commodities are precisely the same as the natural and necessary costs of production when reduced to the simplest elements; but I have preferred the former expression because the term cost if not well guarded is too apt to convey the idea of Money expenditure."'

ESSAI SUR LE PRINCIPE DE POPULATION Ou Expose Des Effets Passes et Presens de L’Action de Cette Cause Sur le Bonheur du Genre Humain; Suivi de Quelques Recherches Relatives a L’esperance de Guerir ou D’adoucir les Maux Qu’elle Entraine
Paris and Geneva: Chez J.J. Paschoud 1809. 3 volumes. First Edition in French. Provenance: With the contemporary engraved bookplate of H. Trouchin and that of the subsequent owner Pierre Sciclounoff. 8vo very handsomely bound in a fine French binding of contemporary half calf over speckled boards spines with gilt ruled bands red morocco title label and green morocco volume label lettered in gilt. xxiii 424 3 ad; 395 3; 392. A very fine and handsome set very clean and sturdy in absolutely period state. The first French edition of Malthus’ landmark work. The translation from the English is by Pierre Prevost probably from the third English edition which was corrected and expanded by Malthus. French editions of Malthus are uncommon and this set is in exceptional condition in its original and contemporary state.<br> Originally written in response to a discussion with the author's father on the perfectibility of society the book was reprinted several times with many alterations and additions as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics.<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 increase 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. Malthus recognized two other possible checks to population expansion: first 'vice'--that is homosexuality prostitution and abortion all totally unacceptable to Malthus; and second 'moral restraint'--the voluntary limitation of the production of children by the postponement of marriage. This was the solution to the population problem that Malthus advocated. The 'Essay' was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe" PMM. Marx Engels Paley Darwin Wallace Keynes and Ricardo were all influenced by Malthus--either working off his ideas or reacting against them. Chez J.J. Paschoud hardcover

MALTHUS, Rev TR T R
Principles of Political Economy Considered with a view to their practical application
London: John Murray 1820. First edition 8vo vi 601 1 pp. Contemporary black half calf a little rubbed covers very slightly damp stained and bowed gilt spine and red label. "The Principles had only a limited impact at the time. more recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by J. M. Keynes in the 1930s. Keynes argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove the world would be a much wiser and richer place." ODNB. Goldsmiths 22767.

The spine with gold lines and a contrasting label. Minor rubs to the spine ends otherwise in very good condition. There is an undated pencil note on the title page '£45 Repair'.

IMPORTANT COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT PROVENANCE: The title page is inscribed at the head 'Society for promoting Working Men's Assocns / 34 Castle Place -- Oxford Street with a shelfmark R31'. The Society was founded in 1849 by the Christian Socialists in an attempt to found self governing workshops. Lower down the title page is the oval stamp of Ormond Street Working Mens College which still exists in Camden. Founded in 1854 by Frederick Denison Maurice Wiki describes it as 'The Working Men's College is among the earliest adult education institutions established in the United Kingdom and Europe's oldest extant centre for adult education. Founded by Christian socialists at its inception it was at the forefront of liberal education philosophy.' At different times its teachers included Thomas Hughes whose latin lectures were apparently not so popular as his boxing club F.J. Furnival and E.M. Forster. London: John Murray, hardcover

Malthus, Rev Thomas R
Principles of Political Economy
London: 1820. Some light foxing to the title page otherwise a superior copy in the original papercovered boards with paper spine label. Malthus' Principles of Political Economy did not have its full impact on economic theory until it was revived by J.M. Keynes and P. Sraffa in the twentieth century. Math and technology aside Malthus argues not that society tends toward cannibalistic starvation but that either society will "preventatively" control its population or nature will "correctively" reduce population"Several philosophers and speculatists had supposed that a certain state of society very different from any that has hitherto existed was in itself practicable; and that if it were realised it would be productive of a far greater degree of human happiness than is compatible with the present institutions of society."21 Malthus' argument as stated by Hazlitt is that if man were to give up his existing social institutions then there would be as much bad as good come of it. "For says Mr Malthus though this improved state of society were actually realized it could not possibly continue but must soon terminate in a state of things pregnant with evils for more insupportable than any we at present endure.". First Edition. Contemporary Blue Cloth. Excellent. 8vo. Hardcover
