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

Best.-Nr. 95379Altona I. F. Hammerich 1807. . First German edition 2 vols 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

Goldsmiths'-Kress 22767. Kress C577. Lowndes 1459. The title of Malthus's final major work is "something of a misnomer as the book was conceived as a series of tracts rather than a comprehensive and systematic treatise. . . . The Principles had only a limited impact at the time and was severely criticized by J. R. McCulloch and David Ricardo; the latter prepared extensive critical notes. But more recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by John Maynard 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 N. B.

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.

1809Best.-Nr. 101490Washington: 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 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

1820Best.-Nr. 948P11London: John Murray 1820. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 9" by 6". None. The first edition of this important economic work by the influential writer Thomas Robert Malthus. The first edition.'Principles of Political Economy' is now regarded as a very influential study on economics in which the author explains the historical economic depression in Europe and why they occur. The work rejects the idea of Say's law and Ricardo's 1817 Principles of Political Economy and Taxation generally. Malthus argued that any rise in wages above the subsistence level would encourage population growth which in turn would drive wages back down to subsistencea dynamic often referred to as the "Malthusian trap." By the economist scholar and cleric Thomas Robert Malthus. He published this work to rival David Ricardo's 1817 work 'Principles of Political Economy and Taxation'."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" DNBVery rarely seen eight pages of adverts to the rear dated April 1820.

1809Best.-Nr. 12840Paris 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. 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. "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

Versuch über die Bedingung und die Folgen der Volksvermehrung aus dem Englischen von Dr. F.H. Hegewisch. 2 Theile.

1807Best.-Nr. 52195Altona J.F. Hammerich 1807. Contemp. hcalf. Gilt spine titlelabel in leather letters worn. Light wear to top of spine and corners. Spine rubbed. Some wear to edges of covers. A stamp on title-page. XVI 368; VIII 358 2 pp. A few leaves in the first quire disbound. Scattered brownspots and a few marginal underlinings on the first 20 leaves. 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.

The History of the Anglo-Saxons.

1807Best.-Nr. 185282London: Printed for Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1807. Though his theories were so cruel his heart and manners were most kindly and courteous Second edition presented and inscribed by Thomas Malthus: "East India College Awarded to Mr John Trotter at the Public Examination of December 1817 as the first of his Class in Political Economy T. Rob. Malthus". Malthus taught as professor of history and political economy at the East India Company College at Haileybury from 1805 to his death in 1834 training generations of EIC management. Writing many years later a former student recalled "We called him Pop; not in derision for we had a great but rather distant respect for him. Though his theories were so cruel his heart and manners were most kindly and courteous" quoted in Maureen Alexander Turner p. 54. John Trotter 1800-1825 entered the college in 1816 and subsequently joined the EIC; he died seven years later aboard the Royal George just off Penang in Malaya which was then an EIC port. Trotter was the son of Alexander Trotter d. 1842 the financially imaginative paymaster of the Royal Navy. His engraved armorial bookplate is in both volumes; Malthus's ink inscription is on the front free endpaper verso. The History of the Anglo-Saxons by Sharon Turner 1768-1847 was originally published from 1799 to 1805. It quickly became "a powerful influence on historical thought for the succeeding half-century" ODNB and remains acknowledged as a turning point in Anglo-Saxon studies and a benchmark in historiography. Writing with a clear eye on the British Empire of his own day - in which Trotter's East India Company played so prominent a role - Turner presents the Anglo-Saxons as central to the historical development that set England on its imperial course. 2 vols quarto 271 x 213 mm pp. x 499 1; viii 472 8. Large hand-coloured engraved folding map by Neele showing "Territory inhabited by the Ancient Saxons north of the Elbe" as frontispiece of vol. I.
