The book is inscribed by the author but the inscription & signature have been partially cut off in rebinding. "This interesting work proposes to examine by the light of scientific criticism the theory of Malthus and the principal objections that have been brought against it. The author turns his attention first to pointing out the irrefutability of the biological tendency as Malthus has shown it and the necessity which devolves upon political economy to recognize it as a fundamental law. Lebrecht does not ignore the objections raised by various writers against this tendency; on the contrary he estimates them with praiseworthy impartiality; yet after careful examination he believes that they are not destructive of the theory.He does not deny that the coefficient of procreation is essentially economic and that poverty is one of its potent factors; yet he affirms that the prolific action of poverty can be remedied by moral influences. From a review of the book by Achille Loria and Cornelia H. B. Rogers in "Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science Vol. 4 May 1894 p. 134. Rare.

Plum-coloured publisher’s cloth brown claysized endpapers rebacked minor wear to corners slight bumping to couple corners still VG- copy from the libraries of John S. Oliver 8 Greenhill Park Edinburgh member of the Edinburgh Geological Society from 1870-1883 and Elof Axel Carlson 1931-2025 noted geneticist historian of science and fierce opponent of eugenics. Seventh edition of this groundbreaking and very significant work was one of the very few complete Victorian printings of the work and coincided with intense reform movements in the British Epire during the 1870’s with heightened discussions on poverty working class living and working conditions and the emergence of neo-Malthusian birth control advocacy groups. Although Malthus is best known for the 1798 original essay this first edition was a very short and limited work which served as a response to Godwin and would be significantly expanded and revised through six editions with additional data points from censuses and vast changes in world populations through the first three decades of the 19th Century. More importantly this work served as a catalyst for Charles Darwin in his development of the hypothesis on Natural Selection after his reading of Malthus in the last half of 1838 which would eventually underpin his 1859 “On the Origin of Species.” Reeves and Turner, 195 Strand, hardcover

Best.-Nr. 19070His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer London. 9 February no year . 1p. 8vo. In poor condition aged and worn with loss to edges and holing around the signature. Begins with manuscript text in square brackets: 'The -9 Day of ffebry <.> Received by me Daniel Malthus Execd as P Margin Of the Right Honourable Robert Earl of Northampton One of the Four Tellers of His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer the Sum of Fifty Pounds .'. The annuity has been raised on 'Rates and Duties upon all Wines imported into Great Britain and for raising a certain Sum of Money for the Service of the year 1745'. According to T. R. Malthus's entry in the Oxford DNB his father 'being an only son of seven children appears to have inherited considerable wealth and property and these independent means enabled him to travel and to cultivate his literary artistic theatrical and scientific interests. He entered Queen's College Oxford in 1747 but did not graduate. He was an admirer of Rousseau who once visited The Rookery when Malthus was an infant. He was said to have published some literary pieces anonymously but the statement by an obituarist that he had translated works from French and German was firmly contradicted by Malthus. He supported the views of the marquis de Condorcet and William Godwin on the perfectibility of mankind but also encouraged his son's publication of opposing views. Aspects of his behaviour—for example the unconventional education he chose for Malthus and his refusal to allow his wife to wear her wedding ring—were regarded as eccentric and perhaps show the influence of Rousseau. He married on 6 May 1752 Henrietta Catherine Graham 1733–1800 his second cousin the daughter of Daniel Graham 1695–1778 apothecary to George II and George III. She can be seen as a young girl with her brother and two sisters in Hogarth's painting The Graham Children 1742 now in the National Gallery London. Malthus was the sixth of their seven children two boys and five girls. His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer, London. 9 February [ no year ]. unknown
