1809ref. 93446Paris: J. J. Paschoud 1809. The most influential work of its era on population in a contemporary binding First French edition translated by Pierre Prévost.

A political economist who occupies a hallowed place in the history of biology Malthus was acknowledged by both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace as a key influence in developing the theory of natural selection. 3 vols octavo.

1803ref. 31325London Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. Large 4to. Later brown hcalf with four raised bands single gilt lines and red leather title-label to spine. First three and last 14 leaves a bit brownspotted title-page and last two leaves marginally repaired at hinge otherwise a very nice clean and solid copy. VIII 4 610 pp. The Great Quarto-edition of Malthus' milestone work the first and most influential book on population. Although being the second edition after the anonymously printed first of 1798 it is so significantly altered revised and expanded that it is considered a new work rather than a new edition. Malthus himself also thought of it as such. It is nearly four times the length of the 1798 essay the title has been changed the title of the first: "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" and it is published with Mathus' name as the author not anonymously. All later editions were minor revisions of this heavily expanded and altered second one. "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 controversial views because of which the work became so influential are most provocative and eyeopening in the second edition in which Malthus for instance for the first time advocates moral restraint meaning sexual abstinence and late marriage and elaborately explains his comparison between the increase of population and food. "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. Malthus was naturally condemned by Marx and Engels and opposed by the socialists universally but the work had an enormous impact on not only politics economics and social sciences but also on natural sciences. For instance both Darwin and Wallace considered Malthus a main source in their development of the theory of natural selection considering him a great philosopher and his Essay on Population one of the most important books ever. "Malthus’s idea of man’s "Struggle for existence" had decisive influence on Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Other scientists related this idea to plants and animals which helped to define a piece of the evolutionary puzzle. This struggle for existence of all creatures is the catalyst by which natural selection produces the "survival of the fittest". Thanks to Malthus Darwin recognised the significance of intraspecies competition between populations of the same species e.g. the lamb and the lamb not just interspecies competition between species e.g. the lion and the lamb. Malthusian population thinking also explained how an incipient species could become a full-blown species in a very short timeframe." The second edition must be considered the most important of all the editions. This is far more a work on the problems of over-population than it is a response to Godwin and Condorcet on their works whic is the main concern of the first edition. "Not so much shocked by his own conclusions in his "Essay on Population" first ed. 1798 as driven by a naturally inquiring mind he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published a second edition 1803."

The second expanded edition of this key work of economic theory by Thomas Malthus originally published as a rebuttal to David Ricardo's 'On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation' in 1820. This subsequent edition was substantially revised by Malthus himself and published posthumously two years after his death in 1834; it also includes the first appearance of William Otter's notable essay regarding his friend's life a "Memoir of Robert Malthus". Malthus had set about editing his Principles almost immediately after it appeared in print incorporating changes both minor and major particularly with regards to the important chapter on value theory building on the work of Adam Smith.

1807ref. 60615Altona J.F. Hammerich 1807. 8vo. 2 volumes both uncut in the original blank wrappers. Wear to extremities front wrapper on vol. 1 detached and with tear. Missing ab. half of the paper on spines. Internally fine and clean. XVI 368; VIII 358 1 pp. 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.

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.
