‎MALTHUS Thomas. Dr F. H. Hegewisch translator.‎

‎Versuch über die Bedingung und die Folgen der Volksvermehrung. An Essay on the Principle of Population in German translation.‎

‎Altona I. F. Hammerich 1807. . 2 vol. 8vo 20 x 12.5 cm. pp. xvi 368; pp. vii 358; very slight spotting to vol. 1. Contemporary half-brown leather binding; flat spine gilt bands separating compartments compartments 1 3 5 and 6 contain gilt floral decoration compartments 2 and 4 contain gilt lettering including translator's name and title gilt library stamp to both upper boards library stamps to verso of both upper boards and title pages pencil markings to verso of upper boards and endpapers; rubbed water or possibly glue marks to verso of upper boards and endpapers. Rare first German edition and first translation into a foreign language of this important work by the father of Malthusianism. Malthus' original work written in English was first published anonymously in 1798. It discusses the problem of the gap between population growth which is potentially exponential and the growth of food supply which is not. The work arose from a discussion between Malthus and his father about the possibility of a better society and went on to have an enormous impact on social policy. Ultimately Malthus believed population growth would always outrun food supply and therefore the betterment of society was impossible without stern limits on reproduction. For this reason he is often associated with Darwin. His views became popular again in the XX century largely due to the work of John Maynard Keynes. 'The essay exercised a strong influence on European intellectual development at the beginning of the nineteenth century . the Socialists fought him unanimously . and the Conservatives were happy that somebody was fighting against the spread of revolutionary ideas from the continent.' Carter/Muir. Thomas Malthus 1766 - 1834 was born into a family of intellectuals and his father was a great friend of the philosopher David Hume. He took holy orders in 1797 but in 1805 decided to become a professor teaching history and the relatively new subject of political economy at the East India Company college in Haileybury. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1819 and in 1834 founded the Statistical Society of London. Altona, I. F. Hammerich, 1807. hardcover‎

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

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.

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 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. Printed and Published by Roger Chew Weightman unknown books‎

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
