II lacking spine label scratch to upper board of vol. II endleaves and some prelims foxed but otherwise internally free from soil: Good or better. The fourth edition of Malthus' widely influential discussion of overpopulation. Malthus 1766-1834 argued that population "increases geometrically while food supplies increase only arithmetically" and that some misery was inevitable unless population growth could be restrained. He proposed "moral restraint" as a solution. Many of his theories have now been largely rejected but "the Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe" and "his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable." The first edition was shorter; "later editions were considerably altered and grew bulkier as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics" Printing and the Mind of Man. KRESS B.5219.

If Only Malthus Instead of Ricardo Had Been the Parent Stem From Which Nineteenth-Century Economics Proceeded What a Much Wiser and Richer Place the World Would be Today" MALTHUS Thomas Robert. Principles of Political Economy. Considered with a View to Their Practical Application. London: John Murray 1820. First edition. Octavo. vi 12-601602. Original boards uncut. With original paper label on spine. Hinges expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Old bookplate from "The Library of Victoria" with no other library markings. A very clean copy internally fine. Very scarce in original boards. Housed in a custom quarter black morocco clamshell gilt-stamped. First edition of Malthus' principal contribution to economic theory. Schumpeter describes Malthus' work in relation to that of his predecessors Adam Smith and Ricardo as follows: "Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.except for his theory of saving and investment which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work and even its terminological arrangements point to the First book of the Wealth of Nations. Only whereas Ricardo recoined the doctrine of Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A. Smith actually used namely the theory of supply and demand.whereas Ricardo's analytic apparatus is geared to the problem of distribution.Malthus. geared his apparatus to the analysis of the whole economic process.Therefore Malthus should.stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor or rather as one of the sponsors of the victorious one." "Although Malthus is best known for the views on population contained in his Essay on Population.there can be no doubt that his importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy 1820. It was because of the latter work that J. M. Keynes reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought". New Palgrave. Cress C577. HBS 66825. $6500. John Murray unknown books
1803ref. 65276London: Printed for J. Johnson.by T. Bensley 1803. The Economics of Population MALTHUS Thomas Robert. 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. A new edition very much enlarged. London: Printed for J. Johnson. by T. Bensley 1803. Second edition enlarged and revised. Quarto. viii 4 610 pp. Contemporary calf skillfully rebacked to style and with corners renewed. Spine decoratively tooled in gilt compartments with burgundy morocco gilt lettering label. Endpapers renewed. Occasional light foxing. Title-page with publisher's diagonal paper flaw crease. Overall very good. A completely revised and greatly expanded edition of the most influential work on population ever written. Malthus published the first edition of his Essay in 1798 and was apparently unprepared for the torrent of controversy that his ideas provoked. His response to the public outcry was to spend the next five years refining and expanding his theories for this second edition so much so that "in its present shape it may be considered a new work and I should probably have published it as such omitting the few parts of the former which I have retained but that I wished it to form a whole of itself and not to need a continual reference to the other." preface Malthus' basic argument--that population increases geometrically at a greater rate than does the means of subsistence which increases arithmetically--was one of the earliest modern economic and social theories and his contention that it would eventually become necessary for society to impose some form of restraint on over-population provided the premise for heated socio-economic debate for almost two centuries.

One of the most influential works on political economy it had a profound effect on social policy during the nineteenth century especially on the development of harsher poor laws in Great Britain. It was the guiding spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The central point of the Essay is that population increases geometrically while food supplies increase arithmetically which will eventually lead to starvation and disease in the poorest sections of the community. In order to prevent this from happening he posits people especially the poor should have children later in life and limit the size of their families. unknown books

Modern quarter calf and marbled paper covered boards vellum tips flat spines gilt with green morocco lettering pieces. Very good. Fifth edition. xvi 496; iv 507 1; iv 500pp. 3 vols. 8vo. "The central idea of the essay - and the hub of Malthusian theory - was a simple one. The population of a community . 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' . The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early 19th-century Europe . his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable" PMM 251. Darwin among others credited Malthus as a source for his theory of natural selection. "The achievement of Malthus was the exposition of the theory of population; and his name has been associated so closely with this theory that like Darwin's it has added a new adjective to the language of civilized peoples" Palgrave II 670-71. First published anonymously in 1798 subsequent editions were exanded and this fifth edition published a decade after the fourth with "important additions" viz. adding substantial updates regarding public policy trade and data. The changes to this edition were so substantial that the changes were sold as a separate supplementary book titled Additions to the Fourth and Former Editions. The penultimate edition issued with Malthus's revisions during his lifetime and is often considered textually the best edition. Palgrave II 667-675; Kress B-6974.

1820ref. 1015London: John Murray 1820. First Edition. Recent full calf in a contemporary style. Very good with some minor spotting at points. 8vo vi 1 - 601 1 - blank pp. Malthus published this book at a time when Ricardo's ideas were established orthodoxy. The Principles is the first complete statement of his economic theories. In it the theory of rent is clearly stated and the three main points of debate with Ricardo addressed. The principle of the value theory based on labor costs demand affects value in a limited way finally that profits are determined by the cultivation and fertility of the least arable land were central to Ricardo. Malthus challenges each of these ideas and what he termed Ricardo's ' new school of political economy ' . This is Malthus' intellectual manifesto with important sections on the theory of rent employment wages and the question of value. A key book in the development of modern economic theory.
