"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.

Front board and spine detached from book-block on volume 1. Ex-libris pasted on to pasted down front free end-paper on all three volumes. A fine set. The fifth 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.This present fifth edition contain several important additions price of grain and the third chapter of Book III was completely rewritten. 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.

réf. 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
