‎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. Dirigeant de plusieurs entreprises de l'industrie chimique dans la deuxième partie du XXe siècle, sa bibliothèque sera dispersée en 1985 puis 1993, à l'Hôtel Drouot, par Claude Guérin.

‎Première édition française, publiée l’année de l’originale anglaise. Le nom de Malthus est invariablement lié à celui de population, et surtout du rapport entre population et production. Pourtant, dans les Principes d'économie politique, il complète l'étude de l'évolution de la population pour celle plus générale de l'ensemble de l'économie des nations. Exposé complet des doctrines de l'économie politique, cet ouvrage examine les formes et les mesures de la valeur, la nature de la richesse et la productivité du travail et les règles qui gouvernent l'offre et la demande. Il aborde également l'étude de la rente de la terre, les salaires du travail, les profits du capital, et finit par démontrer comment les choses issues de l'action de ces trois instruments de production se distribuent entre les individus et les nations. Longtemps critiqué, les "Principes" de Malthus ont été réhabilités par Keynes, qui a souligné l’importance d’un des rares auteurs classiques à avoir mis en valeur le rôle de la demande et de l’investissement dans la croissance économique.

‎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).""

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.

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

The nation he thought must balance the power to produce and the will to consume" DSB IX:70. Goldsmith 22767; Lowndes 1459; Kress C577 John Murray unknown books‎

‎MALTHUS (Thomas Robert)‎

‎On the Measure of the Conditions Necessary to Supply of Commodities. By the Rev. T.R. Malthus R.A.R.S.L. &c. Read May 4 1825 in: Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom. Vol. 1 Part 1‎

‎J. Murray. 1827. First Edition 4to xxxvi 227 1pp. 22 lithograph plates Malthus essay running from page 171-180; orig. boards covers detached lacks spine uncut unopened internally a nice clean copy. 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 Patricia James in her biography of Malthus explains 'Anyone wishing to understand Malthus's doctrine that the of a commodity is composed of labour and profit these short essays can be recommended for their comparative simplicity. 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."' The second paper On the Meaning which is most usually and most correctly attached to the term 'Value of a Commodity' was read two years later on the 7th November 1827. J. Murray. 1827 hardcover‎

‎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
